No reference devices were used in this submission.
No
The summary describes a standard dental chair and unit system that provides basic utilities (air, water, vacuum, electricity) and a user interface for controlling dental devices. There is no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or any other technology typically associated with AI/ML capabilities. The performance studies focus on electrical safety, biocompatibility, and basic functionality, not AI/ML performance metrics.
No
The device is described as a dental chair and unit that provides a control center and supplies air, water, vacuum, and electricity to other dental devices for general dental procedures. It does not directly provide therapy itself, but rather supports therapeutic procedures performed by a dental practitioner.
Yes
The device description explicitly states: "TAURAUS C1 is a dental chair and units to be used to take for diagnosis and therapy of patients." This indicates its intended use encompasses diagnostic purposes.
No
The device description clearly outlines physical components like a dental chair, unit, tables, water unit, arm system, cuspidor, and dental light, indicating it is a hardware-based system with a user interface for control.
Based on the provided information, the TAURUS C1 Dental System is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the system is for "general dental applications" and provides a "user interface to control operation of the dental dental devices." It delivers air, water, vacuum, and electricity for "common and normal patient treatment procedures performed in the dental operatory." This describes a system used directly on or with a patient for treatment and diagnosis, not for testing samples in vitro (outside the body).
- Device Description: The description details a dental chair and unit used for "diagnosis and therapy of patients." It lists components like the chair, tables, water unit, etc., all of which are used in direct patient care.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), reagents, or any processes typically associated with in vitro testing.
- Performance Studies: The performance studies focus on biocompatibility, electrical safety, and general requirements for dental units, not on the analytical or clinical performance of an IVD test.
In summary, the TAURUS C1 Dental System is a medical device used for direct patient care in a dental setting, not for performing tests on samples outside the body.
