Device Description
The NT and Mac Series Endodontic Files are a series of engine (rotary) driven and hand driven endodontic files for use in root canal preparation. The files are constructed of nickel-titanium and color coded for ease of use. The files are available in 21 and 25mm lengths and ten graduating sizes.
More Information

No
The description focuses on the physical characteristics and intended use of endodontic files, with no mention of AI or ML.

No
Explanation: The device is an instrument used for preparing root canals, which is a procedural function rather than a therapeutic one (i.e., it doesn't treat a disease or condition itself).

No
Explanation: The device is described as instruments designed for root canal preparation, which is a treatment, not a diagnostic, procedure. It mechanically prepares the root canal, it does not identify or analyze a condition.

No

The device description clearly states the device is a series of engine and hand driven endodontic files constructed of nickel-titanium, which are physical hardware components.

Based on the provided information, the NT and Mac Series Endodontic Files are not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) device.

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is "for use in root canal preparation." This is a procedure performed directly on a patient's tooth, within the body.
  • Device Description: The description details the physical characteristics of the files used for mechanical preparation of the root canal.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, tissue) in vitro (outside the body) to provide information about a physiological state, health, or disease.

IVD devices are typically used in laboratories or point-of-care settings to analyze biological samples. Endodontic files are surgical instruments used for a dental procedure.
