Intended Use
to reproduce the structure of a patient's teeth and gums ... to provide models for study and for production of restorative prosthetic devices
Device Description
TriPhasix Chromatic Alginate may be described as a vanilla flavored alginate impression which changes color from violet to pink to white to indicate completion of mixing, appropriate consistency for tray loading and appropriate consistency for impressioning, respectively. Slight alteration of water-to-powder ratios will deliver "heavy", "medium", or "light" body mixtures as preferred by the user.

No
The device description focuses on the color-changing properties of the alginate material based on chemical reactions, not on any computational or learning-based processes. There are no mentions of AI, ML, image processing, or data sets for training/testing.

No
The device is described as an impression material used to reproduce the structure of teeth and gums for study models and production of restorative prosthetic devices, not to directly treat a medical condition.

No
This device is an impression material used to create models of teeth and gums, not to diagnose a medical condition.

No

The device description clearly describes a physical material (alginate impression) that changes color, indicating it is a hardware-based product, not software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to reproduce the structure of teeth and gums to create models for study and production of restorative prosthetic devices. This is a physical process for creating a mold, not a diagnostic test performed in vitro (outside the body) on biological samples to diagnose a condition.
  • Device Description: The description details a material used for taking impressions, not for analyzing biological samples. The color changes are indicators of the material's physical state, not diagnostic markers.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Elements: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples, detecting analytes, or providing diagnostic information about a patient's health status.

Therefore, this device falls under the category of a dental impression material, which is not considered an IVD.
