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 is for a standard toothbrush system.

No.

  • The device is intended for the removal of plaque, cleaning teeth, healthier gums, and fresh breath, which are general hygiene and cosmetic purposes rather than treating or preventing a specific disease or condition.

No
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section describes the device as being for the removal of plaque, cleaning teeth, healthier gums, and fresh breath, which are all preventative and hygienic functions, not diagnostic ones.

No

The device description explicitly states "PlusTron Ion Toothbrush System," which strongly implies a hardware component (the toothbrush) is part of the system, not just 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 the removal of plaque, cleaning teeth, healthier gums, and fresh breath. These are all related to oral hygiene and physical cleaning, not the diagnosis of diseases or conditions using in vitro methods (testing samples like blood, urine, or tissue outside the body).
  • Device Description: It's described as a "PlusTron Ion Toothbrush System," which is consistent with a device used for oral hygiene.
  • Lack of IVD Indicators: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples, detecting biomarkers, or any other activities typically associated with IVDs.

Therefore, this device falls under the category of a general medical device for oral hygiene, not an in vitro diagnostic device.
