Not Found

No
The summary describes a dental relining material and does not mention any AI or ML components or functionalities.

Yes
The device is intended to relieve pressure, cushion alveolar processes, and support healing processes, which are therapeutic actions.

No
The intended use describes the device as a relining material for dentures to relieve pressure, support adhesion, cushion processes, and aid healing. These are therapeutic or palliative functions, not diagnostic ones.

No

The intended use describes a material for relining dentures, which is a physical substance, not software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use describes a material used for relining dentures, which is a dental procedure performed directly on a patient's mouth. This is an in vivo application, not an in vitro (outside the body) diagnostic test.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
    • Analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
    • Detecting or measuring substances in biological samples
    • Providing information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening of diseases or conditions

The device is a dental material used for physical modification of dentures to improve fit and comfort for the patient.
