No
The summary describes a laser system for oral soft tissue procedures and does not mention any AI or ML components or functionalities.

Yes
The device is intended for various medical procedures such as incision, excision, vaporization, and coagulation of oral soft tissue, which directly contribute to the treatment or management of medical conditions.

No
The device's intended uses, such as incision, excision, vaporization, and coagulation, along with specific indications for use like gingivectomy and frenectomy, describe surgical or therapeutic procedures, not diagnostic ones.

No

The device is described as a "LaserSystem" and its intended uses involve physical interaction with tissue (incision, excision, vaporization, ablation, coagulation), which are functions of a hardware device, not software alone.

Based on the provided information, the DENTEK LD 15 LaserSystem is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use and Indications for Use: The listed uses (incision, excision, vaporization, ablation, coagulation in oral soft tissue) are all procedures performed directly on the patient's body. IVD devices, by definition, are used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, tissue samples) outside of the body to provide information about a person's health.
  • Lack of IVD-related information: The description does not mention any analysis of biological samples, diagnostic testing, or any of the typical characteristics of an IVD device.

Therefore, the DENTEK LD 15 LaserSystem is a medical device used for surgical procedures on oral soft tissue, not an in vitro diagnostic device.
