The summary describes a software system for managing, analyzing, and designing orthodontic appliances based on 3D models. While it uses "digital imaging tools" and "virtual planning," there is no mention of AI, ML, deep learning, or any related concepts in the provided text. The focus is on user-driven tools for analysis and design.
No
The device is a "medical front-end device providing tools for management of orthodontic models, systematic inspection, detailed analysis, treatment simulation and virtual appliance design," and explicitly states "The device has no patient contact." It is used for planning and design, not for direct therapy.
Yes
The "Device Description" explicitly states that the software is used for "orthodontic diagnosis by measuring, analyzing, inspecting and visualizing 3D scanned orthodontic models."
Yes
The device description explicitly states "3Shape's Ortho System™ is a software system". While it processes 3D scanned models and outputs designs for physical devices, the core medical device functionality described is entirely within the software. The performance studies also mention software, hardware, and integration testing, which is typical for software that interacts with hardware, but the device itself is presented as a software system.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD).
Here's why:
- IVDs are used to examine specimens derived from the human body. The intended use and device description clearly state that the 3Shape Ortho System™ works with 3D models of the patient's dentition, which are derived from scans, not biological specimens like blood, urine, or tissue.
- The device description explicitly states "The device has no patient contact." IVDs typically involve handling and analyzing patient specimens.
- The focus is on diagnosis, treatment planning, and appliance design based on anatomical models. This is distinct from the analytical and diagnostic processes performed by IVDs on biological samples.
The device is a software system used for managing, analyzing, and designing based on digital models of teeth, which falls under the category of medical imaging and planning software, not in vitro diagnostics.
