No
There is no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or any related concepts in the provided 510(k) summary. The intended use is for fabrication, which typically involves manufacturing processes rather than data analysis or interpretation.

No.
The device is used for the fabrication of dental crowns and bridges, which are restorative devices, not therapeutic devices that treat a disease or condition.

No
Explanation: The "Intended Use" explicitly states "For use in the Fabrication of Porcelain-Fused-to-Metal Dental Crowns and Bridges." This describes a manufacturing or fabrication process, not a diagnostic one. Diagnostic devices are used to identify or detect medical conditions or diseases.

Unknown

The provided 510(k) summary lacks a device description, making it impossible to determine if the device is software-only or includes hardware components.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is "For use in the Fabrication of Porcelain-Fused-to-Metal Dental Crowns and Bridges." This describes a process for creating a dental restoration, not a test performed on a sample taken from the human body to provide information about a physiological or pathological state.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description lacks any mention of:
    • Analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
    • Detecting or measuring substances within those samples
    • Providing diagnostic information about a patient's health

IVDs are specifically designed to be used in vitro (outside the body) to examine specimens derived from the human body. This device is used to create a physical dental restoration.
