The summary describes a dental casting alloy and does not mention any AI/ML components or image processing.
No
The device is a dental casting alloy used for making restorations, which is a material used in the process of repair, and not a device that directly treats a disease or condition therapeutically.
No
Explanation: The device is described as a "Dental casting alloy for making restoration," and "High gold casting alloy." It is a material used for making dental restorations, not a device used to diagnose a medical condition.
No
The device description clearly states it is a "High gold casting alloy," which is a physical material, 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 "Dental casting alloy for making restoration." This describes a material used to create a physical dental restoration, not a test performed on a biological sample to diagnose a condition.
- Device Description: The description "High gold casting alloy" further reinforces that it's a material for fabrication.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: The document does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
- Testing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
- Detecting or measuring analytes
- Providing diagnostic information
IVDs are used to perform tests on samples from the human body to provide information about a person's health. This device is a material used in the body as a restoration.

§ 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.

Re: K972943 Trade Name: Aurecast 92 Requlatory Class: II Product Code: EJT Dated: June 13, 1997 Received: June 20, 1997
Dear Mr. Davis:
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) notification of intent to market the device referenced above and we have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Druq, and Cosmetic Act (Act). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, qood manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions aqainst 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 regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Requlations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 895. ਬੋ substantially equivalent determination assumes compliance with the current Good Manufacturing Practice requirement, as set forth in the Quality System Requlation (QS) for Medical Devices: General requlation (21 CFR Part 820) and that, through periodic (QS) inspections, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will verify such assumptions. Failure to comply with the GMP regulation 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 might have under sections 531
