No
The device description focuses on providing continuous heat and does not mention any computational analysis, learning, or adaptive capabilities. The evaluation of the patient's response is performed by the clinician.
No.
The device is used for diagnostic purposes (testing tooth response to thermal stimulus to evaluate pulp health), not to treat or therapeutically affect the body.
Yes
The device is used to test tooth response to thermal stimulus, and the patient's response is evaluated by the clinician to determine whether the pulp is healthy or inflamed, which is a diagnostic purpose.
No
The device description explicitly states it is battery-operated or powered by a wall adapter and provides continuous heat at the tip of a dental instrument, indicating it is a hardware device with electrical components for heating.
Based on the provided information, this device 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.
- Device Function: This device directly applies heat to a tooth to assess the tooth's response. It does not analyze a sample taken from the body.
- Intended Use: The intended use is to test tooth response to thermal stimulus, which is a clinical assessment performed directly on the patient.
The device is a dental instrument used for a clinical procedure, not a laboratory test on a biological sample.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use

Device Description
The device, which is battery-operated (Model 5001 and 5004) or powered by a wall adapter (Model 5002), is designed to provide continuous heat at the tip of a dental instrument, the Hot Pulp Test Tip, to test tooth response to thermal stimulus. The battery operated models are fully rechargeable through the use of the plug-in charge adapter. The Hot Pulp Test Tip is heated to the desired temperature. A medium, such as a ball of softened gutta percha, is used to transfer the heat from the Hot Pulp Test Tip to the tooth. The gutta percha ball is dipped into talcum powder or Vaseline to prevent it from sticking to the tooth. The Hot Pulp Test Tip is placed in firm contact with the tooth, ensuring that a good contact is established. The patient's response to the heat is evaluated by the clinician to determine whether the pulp is healthy or inflamed.
