The device is a dental casting alloy, and the summary focuses on its material composition and physical properties, with no mention of AI or ML.
No.
A therapeutic device is used to treat or cure a disease or condition. This device is a dental casting alloy used to make restorations, which is a supportive and restorative function, not a therapeutic one.
No
Explanation: The device is a "Dental casting alloy for making restoration," specifically a "high gold casting alloy." Its intended use described involves creating physical dental restorations, and the technical specifications provided relate to material properties (e.g., melting point, hardness, density) for such an alloy. There is no mention of it being used to collect, analyze, or interpret data to diagnose a condition, which is characteristic of a diagnostic device.
No
The device description clearly states it is a "High gold casting alloy," which is a physical material, not software. The performance studies also focus on material properties like melting point, hardness, and density.
No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is "Dental casting alloy for making restoration." This describes a material used to create a physical dental restoration (like a crown or bridge).
- Device Description: The description is "High gold casting alloy." This further reinforces that it's a material for fabrication.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. This device does not interact with or analyze such specimens.
- Performance Studies: The performance studies focus on the physical and mechanical properties of the alloy, which are relevant to its use in dental restorations, not to diagnostic testing.
Therefore, based on the provided information, this dental casting alloy is a medical device, but it falls under a different category than In Vitro Diagnostics.

§ 872.3060 Noble metal alloy.
(a)
Identification. A noble metal alloy is a device composed primarily of noble metals, such as gold, palladium, platinum, or silver, that is intended for use in the fabrication of cast or porcelain-fused-to-metal crown and bridge restorations.(b)
Classification. Class II (special controls). The special control for these devices is FDA's “Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Dental Noble Metal Alloys.” The devices are exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 872.9. See § 872.1(e) for availability of guidance information.

Discussion
The noble metal content is equivalent. There is a negligable difference in the other constituents, Aurecast 74 contains Sn for improved brazing properties.
Conclusion
In practical respect are the two alloys identical.
