No
The summary contains no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or any data related to training or testing of algorithms, which are typical indicators of AI/ML in medical devices. The intended use is purely mechanical/chemical.

Yes
The device is intended for the softening and removal of root canal fillings, which is a direct treatment performed on an anatomical site (root canal) for a medical purpose.

No
The device's intended use is "Softening and removal of root canal fillings," which is a treatment procedure, not a diagnostic one.

Unknown

The provided 510(k) summary lacks a device description, making it impossible to determine if the device is software-only or includes hardware components.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is "Softening and removal of root canal fillings." This describes a procedure performed directly on a patient's tooth, within the body (in vivo).
  • IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics (IVDs) are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections. They are performed outside the body (in vitro).

The device's function is a therapeutic intervention within the root canal, not a diagnostic test performed on a sample.
