The summary describes image processing techniques like segmentation and registration, which can be performed using traditional algorithms or AI/ML. However, there is no explicit mention of AI, ML, deep learning, or any related terms in the provided text. The description of performance studies also lacks details about AI/ML-specific metrics or validation methods.
No
The device is a software for image management, analysis, and design input for dental solutions, supporting diagnosis and treatment planning rather than directly applying therapy.
No
The device is described as a software for "management, transfer, and analysis of dental and craniomaxillofacial image information" and to "provide design input for dental solutions." While it "displays and enhances digital images...to support the diagnostic process and treatment planning", its primary function is 3D modeling for preoperative/pretreatment planning, not definitively diagnosing conditions itself.
Yes
The device description explicitly states "The Relu Creator is a software" and describes its functions as software-based processes like 3D modeling, image segmentation, and registration performed on medical images. There is no mention of accompanying hardware components that are part of the device itself.
Based on the provided information, the Relu Creator is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections. They are used to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
- Relu Creator's Function: The Relu Creator operates on medical images (CBCT, IOS, FS) of the patient's anatomy. It performs image processing (segmentation, registration) and provides design input and planning tools for dental procedures. It does not analyze biological samples from the patient.
- Intended Use: The intended use is for managing, transferring, and analyzing image information to support the diagnostic process and treatment planning in dentistry and craniomaxillofacial surgery. This is distinct from performing diagnostic tests on biological specimens.
Therefore, the Relu Creator falls under the category of medical imaging software and not in vitro diagnostics.

4
diagnostic process and treatment planning. It stores and provides these images within the system or across computer systems at different locations.
Indications for Use Comparison
21 CFR 807.92(a)(5)
Based on the comparison, the indications of use of the Subject Device is similar to that of the Predicate Device. There are two differences between the indications for use of the Subject Device and Predicate Device.
One difference is in the scope of activities of Relu Creator when compared to DTX Studio includes the acquisition, management, transfer, and analysis of dental and craniomaxillofacial image information. Relu creator includes only management, transfer, and analysis of dental and craniomaxillofacial image information. Relu Creator does not include the acquisition of image information.
Additionally, the indication for Relu Creator applies generally to dental solutions, rather than only to dental restorative solutions. This is because Relu Creator can be used to process image in the dental and craniomaxillofacial area for any treatment in that region.
Based on the similarity of indication for use, the Subject Device can be considered substantially equivalent to the Predicate Device.
Technological Comparison
Based on the comparisons, the design, construction, and performance characteristics of the Subject Device are similar to that of the Predicate Devices.
The differences identified are not substantial differences in operation of the device.
Input Data: The subject device does not acquire image data, whereas the predicate device includes features for image acquisition. Otherwise, the types of imaging file data imported to the subject device are similar to the inputs of the predicate device. Both include image file types that are commonly used in the dental industry (CBCT, IOS, and FS).
Output Data: The subject device provides outputs in several formats (STL, DICOM, PLY, OBJ) that are commonly for dental and craniomaxillofacial treatment planning applications. The predicate device offers outputs in additionally, the predicate device provide treatment planning outputs. The subject device is intended for processing of dental and craniomaxillofiacial imaging data as an input to the treatment planning process.
Image Processing: The subject device has the same general image processing features as the predicate device. However, the subject device does not include volume or surface area measurements.
Automatic Segmentation Algorithm: Relu Creator includes an automatic segmentation algorithm, which is powered by Relu Engine. The predicate device also includes a similar automatic volume segmentation algorithm.
OS/Hardware/T Requirements: The Minimum OS, Hardware, and IT Requirements of the Subject Device are similar to that of the Predicate Device. Relu Creator is available in beb-application formats. The differences between the predicate and subject device account for differences in the development framework used, but do not impact the intended use or application of the devices.
There are no other substantial differences between the technical requirements between the Subject and Predicate Devices.
Non-Clinical and/or Clinical Tests Summary & Conclusions 21 CFR 807.92(b)
The Subject Device has passed testing for appropriate verification and performed per its intended use. Therefore, it can be substantially equivalent to its Predicate Devices.
Based on the performance testing and software validation testing, the Subject Device, has been shown to be appropriate for its indications for use and is as safe and as effective than the legally marketed Predicate Device, DTX Studio 3.0 (K213562), There are no substantial differences between the indications for use, technological features, or performance testing of the Subject and Predicate Device.
