No
The summary describes a dental casting alloy and does not mention any AI or ML components or functionalities.

No.
The device is a dental casting alloy used to fabricate restorations, which is a material rather than a device intended to treat or cure a disease.

No
The device is described as a "Dental casting alloy used in combination with dental ceramics for fabrication of metallo-ceramic restoration," which is a material used for treatment, not for diagnosing a condition.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "Gold reduced palladium based casting alloy," which is a physical material, not software.

No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is "Dental casting alloy used in combination with dental ceramics for fabrication of metallo-ceramic restoration." This describes a material used in the mouth for restorative purposes, not for testing samples outside the body to diagnose or monitor a condition.
  • Device Description: The description "Gold reduced palladium based casting alloy" further confirms it's a material for dental restorations.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The provided information does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
    • Analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
    • Detecting or measuring specific substances (analytes)
    • Providing information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening of diseases or conditions.

This device falls under the category of a dental material used for fabrication of prosthetics.

§ 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

Both alloys have the same constituents with the exception of two minor ones, i.e. Mn and Fe in Hipallaur 19. Nevertheless, these are oxidized out of the alloy during melting.

  1. Nevelliedess, aloos are onlines on ent (67.1 % vs. 63 %) and less silver and base metals.

Conclusion

AND A STATE A CALL A CARA A CARA

On the basis of the constitution the new alloy is very similar to Aurolite 2A, and it may be assumed that due to the higher noble metal content Hipallaur may have slightly better corrosion resistance.
