The summary describes a simple mechanical device (orthodontic ties) and contains no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or data analysis.
No.
The ties are used to hold the archwire in orthodontic brackets, which is a supportive mechanical function rather than a therapeutic one that directly treats a condition or restores a function.
No
Explanation: The device is described as elastomeric ties used to hold an archwire in orthodontic brackets, which is a treatment component, not a diagnostic tool.
No
The device description and intended use clearly describe a physical product (elastomeric ties) used in orthodontic treatment, not a software application.
No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
- Device Function: The description clearly states that the Glenroe glow in dark elastomeric ties are used to "hold the archwire in orthodontic brackets during orthodontic treatment." This is a mechanical function within the mouth, not a test performed on a biological sample.
The device is an orthodontic accessory, not a diagnostic tool.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use
