No
The summary describes a mechanical component (turbine) for a dental handpiece and contains no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or data analysis that would suggest the use of such technologies.

No.
The device is a component of a high-speed handpiece used for drilling and preparation, which are interventional procedures, but the device itself does not directly provide therapy or treatment for a disease or condition. It is a tool for a procedure, not a therapeutic agent.

No.
The device is a component of a high-speed handpiece used for drilling and preparation of dental cavities, which is a treatment function, not a diagnostic one.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "Replacement Turbine," which is a hardware component of a dental handpiece. There is no mention of software as the primary or sole component.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for drilling and preparation of dental cavities intraorally. This is a direct interaction with the patient's body for a therapeutic or procedural purpose.
  • IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics (IVDs) are tests performed on samples taken from the human body (such as blood, urine, or tissue) to detect diseases, conditions, or infections. They are performed outside the body (in vitro).

The description clearly indicates the device is a component of a dental handpiece used inside the mouth, not for testing samples outside the body.
