Intended Use
For use to stimulate the healing process due to the mixture of calcium hydroxide and iodoform and the induction effect of these two ingredients. Used to promote healing effects and to help prevent bacterial contamination of the canal, as the two ingredients improve the induction effect for hard tissue induction and deposition. To be used as a medicament for the treatment of infected root canals, and as a permanent, low volume additive to the filling process of a treated root canal to assist in the induction and deposition of hard tissue to make the healing process more rapid and complete. For use in the treatment of infected root canals, or following pulpectomy, or for apexegenesis or apexification, and / or for the tip filling of prepared, treated root canals at the time of final filling with gutta-percha.

No
The summary describes a medicament for root canal treatment, focusing on the chemical properties and biological effects of its ingredients. There is no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or any computational analysis of data.

Yes
The device is intended to "stimulate the healing process," "promote healing effects," and act as a "medicament for the treatment of infected root canals," all of which are therapeutic purposes.

No
The device is described as a medicament for treating infected root canals and promoting healing, not for diagnosing conditions.

No

The provided text describes a medicament (a substance used for medical treatment) intended for use in root canals. This is a physical substance, not software. The document does not mention any software component.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use describes a substance (mixture of calcium hydroxide and iodoform) applied directly to the root canal within the patient's body to promote healing and prevent infection. This is a therapeutic or treatment-oriented use.
  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are devices used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, tissue) taken from the human body to provide information about a person's health. They are used outside the body (in vitro).

The description clearly indicates the device is used within the root canal, which is part of the patient's body. Therefore, it falls under the category of a medical device used for treatment, not an IVD used for diagnosis based on in vitro testing.
