No
The summary describes a dental post for structural stabilization and build-up, with no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or data analysis that would typically indicate AI/ML involvement.

No
The device is used for preprosthetic stabilization and build-up, which prepares the tooth for a prosthetic but does not inherently treat a disease or condition itself.

No
Explanation: The device is intended for "preprosthetic stabilization" and "preprosthetic build up," which are restorative and preparatory procedures, not diagnostic ones. It does not mention identifying or characterizing a disease or condition.

No

The summary describes a device for preprosthetic stabilization and build-up of tooth structure, which inherently involves physical materials and procedures, not solely software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use describes a device used for preprosthetic stabilization and build-up of tooth structure. This is a direct treatment or preparation of a patient's anatomy, not a test performed on a sample taken from the body to diagnose a condition or provide information about a physiological state.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
    • Analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
    • Providing diagnostic information
    • Using reagents or assays

The device appears to be a dental device used for restorative procedures.

You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions The general controls provisions of the Act of the Act. include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (Premarket Approval), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major requlations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Requlations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 895. A substantially equivalent determination assumes compliance with the current Good Manufacturing Practice requirement, as set forth in the Quality System Regulation (QS) for Medical General regulation (21 CFR Part 820) and that, Devices: through periodic (QS) inspections, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will verify such assumptions. Failure to comply with the GMP requlation may result in requlatory action. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register. Please note: this response to your premarket notification submission does not affect any obligation you miqht have under sections 531
