Intended Use
The Cerec 2 Crown Software is a modification of the Cerec 2 Dicor Dental Restoration System. The Cerec 2 System is used to obtain an optical impression using a threedimensional camera. The optical impression is used in the computer-aided design and milling of ceramic restorations including inlays, veneers and partial crowns. The modifications extend the capabilities to include full crowns.

No
The summary describes a system for optical impression, computer-aided design, and milling of dental restorations. There is no mention of AI or ML in the intended use, device description, or any other section. The focus is on extending existing capabilities for full crowns.

No
The device is used for the design and milling of dental restorations, which is a manufacturing process, not a therapeutic intervention on a patient.

No
The device is used for obtaining an optical impression for computer-aided design and milling of dental restorations, not for diagnosing medical conditions.

No

The device is described as software that is a modification of a system that includes a 3D camera for optical impressions and a milling machine. While the submission focuses on the software modification, the overall system is not software-only.

Based on the provided information, the Cerec 2 Crown Software is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD).

Here's why:

  • IVDs are used to examine specimens derived from the human body. The intended use of the Cerec 2 Crown Software is to obtain an optical impression of a patient's mouth and then design and mill dental restorations. This process does not involve analyzing biological samples like blood, urine, or tissue.
  • The device description and intended use clearly focus on dental restoration. The system is used for creating inlays, veneers, partial crowns, and full crowns based on an optical impression of the patient's teeth.

Therefore, the Cerec 2 Crown Software falls under the category of a dental device used for restorative procedures, not an IVD.
