The device is an impression material used to create a physical copy of the oral cavity for diagnostic and preparatory purposes, not for treating a disease or condition.
No
The device is a dental impression material used to create a physical mold of the oral cavity, not to diagnose a disease or condition.
No
The device is a dental impression material, 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 is to take impressions of the oral cavity for the purpose of constructing a gypsum cast. This is a physical process for creating a model, not a diagnostic test performed on a sample from the body to obtain information about a physiological state or disease.
- Device Description: The description focuses on the material's properties and color-changing features, which are related to its handling and setting characteristics, not to any diagnostic function.
- Lack of Diagnostic Elements: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples, detecting analytes, or providing diagnostic information about a patient's health status.
Therefore, SPECTRA FORM™ Chromatic Alginate Impression Material falls under the category of a dental impression material used for creating physical models, not an in vitro diagnostic device.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use
SPECTRA FORM™ Chromatic Alginate Impression Material is a dental impression material based on alginate. It is used for taking impressions of the oral cavity with the purpose of constructing a gypsum cast that is a copy of the situation in the mouth. It is a general purpose impression material for making study models, first impressions for the construction of individual trays, situation models, orthodontic impressions etc.
SPECTRA FORM™ Chromatic Alginate Impression Material is a color-changing alginate: it becomes violet upon contact with water in the mixing bowl, changes to pink indicating the end of the mixing time and then finally changes to off-white indicating the end of the setting time in the mouth.

The uniformity of the white background creates a sense of emptiness and simplicity. There are no textures or patterns visible, resulting in a smooth and featureless surface. The image lacks any focal point or visual interest, presenting a minimalist and abstract composition.
Image /page/2/Picture/13 description: The image contains a solid black circle. The circle is centered in the image and takes up a significant portion of the frame. The edges of the circle are slightly irregular, suggesting it may have been hand-drawn or digitally created with a brush-like tool. There are no other discernible elements or details in the image.
