No
The summary does not mention AI, ML, or any related concepts like image processing, training sets, or performance metrics typically associated with AI/ML devices. The description focuses on the device's function as a motorized handpiece with root canal measurement.

Yes
The device is used for endodontic treatment, specifically to enlarge root canals and measure canal length, which are therapeutic interventions.

Yes
The device has "root canal measurement capability" and can be used to "measure the length of the canal," which are diagnostic functions.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "motorized handpiece," which is a hardware component.

Based on the provided information, the TRI AUTO ZX 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.
  • TRI AUTO ZX Function: The description clearly states the device is a "cordless endodontic treatment motorized handpiece with root canal measurement capability." It is used directly on the patient's tooth (specifically the root canal) for treatment and measurement in vivo.
  • No Sample Analysis: There is no mention of the device analyzing samples taken from the body.

Therefore, the TRI AUTO ZX is a medical device used for treatment and measurement within the body, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (Premarket Approval), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Requlations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 895. A substantially equivalent determination assumes compliance with the Good Manufacturing Practice for Medical Devices: General (GMP) regulation (21 CFR Part 820) and that, through periodic GMP inspections, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will verify such assumptions. Failure to comply with the GMP regulation may result in regulatory action. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register. Please note: this response to your premarket notification submission does not affect any obligation you might have under sections 531 through 542 of the Act for devices under the Electronic Product Radiation Control provisions, or other Federal laws or regulations.
