The 510(k) summary describes a dental soldering alloy, which is a material, not a software or system that would typically incorporate AI/ML. The summary also explicitly states "Not Found" for mentions of AI, DNN, or ML.
No
Explanation: This device is a soldering alloy used for constructing and repairing dental prostheses, not for treating any specific disease, injury, or condition in a therapeutic manner.
No
The device is a soldering alloy used for construction and repair of dental prostheses, which is a manufacturing and repair function, not a diagnostic one.
No
The device is a physical material (soldering alloy) used in dental prostheses, not 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 construction and repair of dental prostheses (crown and bridge). This is a mechanical/structural application within the body, not a diagnostic test performed on samples taken from the body.
- Device Description: The description confirms it's a soldering alloy for dental prostheses, reinforcing its structural purpose.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), detecting diseases or conditions, or providing diagnostic information.
IVD devices are specifically designed to perform tests on samples taken from the human body to provide information for the diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment of diseases or conditions. This device does not fit that description.
