Intended Use
The System B HeatSource, Model 1005, is intended to be used in dentistry to provide continuous heat at the tip of a dental instrument to test tooth response to thermal stimulus and for tissue cauterization and coagulation.
Device Description
The device is a battery-operated dental instrument heater which is designed to provide continuous heat at the tip of a dental instrument, the Hot Pulp Test Tip and the Cauterizing Tip, to test tooth response to thermal stimulus and for tissue cauterization and coagulation, respectively. The battery is fully rechargeable through the use of the plug-in charge adapter. The temperature is regulated by a feedback control system which automatically maintains a preset temperature for consistent results. The handpiece and cord assembly are completely removable. Both the handpiece and cord assembly and the dental instruments used with the device are autoclavable.

K/DEN Number and List: Not Found

No
The description focuses on a feedback control system for temperature regulation, which is a standard engineering technique and does not inherently imply AI/ML. There are no mentions of AI, ML, or related concepts in the provided text.

Yes

The device is intended for tissue cauterization and coagulation, which are therapeutic interventions.

No
The intended use states that the device is used to "test tooth response to thermal stimulus," which is a diagnostic function, but it also includes "tissue cauterization and coagulation," which are therapeutic functions. Since the device has both diagnostic and therapeutic capabilities, it is not solely a diagnostic device.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "battery-operated dental instrument heater" with a "handpiece and cord assembly" and "dental instruments," indicating it is a physical hardware device.

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: The System B HeatSource, Model 1005, is used directly on the tooth and tissue within the mouth. It applies heat for thermal testing and cauterization. It does not analyze samples taken from the body.
  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states its purpose is for testing tooth response to thermal stimulus and for tissue cauterization and coagulation, all of which are direct interventions or tests performed in vivo (within the living organism).

Therefore, the device's function and intended use fall outside the scope of in vitro diagnostics.
