No
The summary describes a dental cement and contains no mention of AI, ML, or related concepts like image processing or performance metrics typically associated with AI/ML devices.

No.
The device is described as an orthodontic adhesive for bonding dental appliances, which is a structural or supportive function rather than a therapeutic one (e.g., treating a disease or condition).

No
The device description states it is a dental cement, not a tool for diagnosis. Its intended use is for bonding orthodontic appliances, which is a treatment function, not a diagnostic one.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "glass ionomer dental cement," which is a physical material, 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 "as an orthodontic adhesive for brackets, bands and bonded appliances." This describes a material used in the body for a structural purpose, not a test performed on a sample taken from the body to diagnose a condition.
  • Device Description: The device is described as a "glass ionomer dental cement." This is a material used in dentistry for bonding and filling, not a diagnostic test kit or instrument.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The provided information does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
    • Analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
    • Detecting or measuring analytes (substances in the body)
    • Providing information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening of diseases or conditions.

Therefore, GC Fuji Ortho LC is a medical device, but it falls under the category of a dental material used for bonding, not an in vitro diagnostic device.
