The 510(k) summary describes a basic dental unit for supplying power and serving as a base for other devices. There is no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or any other technology typically associated with AI/ML applications in medical devices.
No
The device is described as supplying power and serving as a base for other dental devices, rather than directly treating a medical condition itself.
No
The device is described as supplying power to and serving as a base for dental devices and accessories, without any mention of diagnosing conditions.
No
The device description clearly states it is a "Dental Unit" intended to supply power and serve as a base for dental devices and accessories, and is attached to a dental chair. This indicates a physical hardware device, not software only.
Based on the provided information, the Vanguard Dental Unit is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) device.
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is to "supply power to and serve as a base for dental devices; and accessories." This describes a piece of equipment that supports other dental tools, not a device that performs tests on biological samples (like blood, urine, or tissue) outside of the body to diagnose or monitor a medical condition.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
- Analyzing biological samples.
- Providing diagnostic information based on laboratory tests.
- Using reagents or calibrators.
The Vanguard Dental Unit appears to be a piece of dental equipment used in a clinical setting to facilitate dental procedures, not to perform in vitro diagnostic tests.

Dear Raymond Kelly,
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration. Isting of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.
