No

The device description clearly identifies it as a "Reciprocating Disposable Prophy Angle," which is a physical dental tool, not software.

Based on the provided information, the TWISTT.M. (Reciprocating Disposable Prophy Angle) is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is "for teeth cleaning/ polishing." This is a mechanical action performed directly on the patient's teeth.
  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to examine specimens taken from the body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to provide information about a person's health.
  • Lack of Specimen Analysis: The description and intended use do not involve the analysis of any biological specimens.

The device is a tool used for a dental procedure performed directly on the patient, not for analyzing samples in a laboratory setting.
