The summary describes a dental restorative alloy and contains no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or any other indicators of AI/ML technology.
No.
The device is described as a "dental restorative" used in "restorations," indicating it is used to repair or replace damaged tooth structure, which is a structural or cosmetic function rather than a therapeutic one (i.e., treating a disease or disorder).
No
The device is described as a "dental restorative," which means it is used to repair or replace damaged teeth. This is a therapeutic function, not a diagnostic one. Diagnostic devices are used to identify the presence, nature, or extent of a disease or condition.
No
The device description clearly states it is a "Silver based alloy dental restorative," 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 "Silver based alloy dental restorative used in all classes of restorations." This describes a material used in the body for dental repair, not a test performed outside the body on biological samples to diagnose or monitor a condition.
- Device Description: "PLA-96P Admix Alloy" further confirms it's a material for dental restoration.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description lacks any mention of:
- Analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
- Detecting or measuring substances in biological samples
- Providing information for diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment decisions based on laboratory testing.
IVDs are specifically designed to be used in vitro (outside the living body) to examine specimens derived from the human body. This device is used in vivo (within the living body) as a restorative material.
