No
The summary describes a base metal casting alloy for dental frameworks, with no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or any software-driven functionality.

No.
The device is a casting alloy used to produce partial denture frameworks, which are prosthetic devices used to replace missing teeth, not therapeutic in nature.

No

The device is described as a base metal casting alloy for producing removable partial denture frameworks, which is a restorative function, not a diagnostic one.

No

The device is described as "base metal casting alloys" and "cobalt chrome casting alloys," which are physical materials used for casting, 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 for "casting removable partial denture frameworks." This is a manufacturing process for a dental prosthetic, not a diagnostic test performed on a sample taken from the human body.
  • Device Description: The device is described as "base metal casting alloys." This refers to the material used to create the denture framework, not a reagent or instrument used for in vitro testing.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
    • Analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
    • Detecting or measuring substances in a sample
    • Providing information for diagnosis, monitoring, or prognosis of a disease or condition

The device is a material used in the creation of a medical device (a partial denture framework), but it is not an IVD itself.
