More Information

Not Found

No
The 510(k) summary describes an air abrasion system for dental procedures and contains no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or data sets typically associated with AI/ML devices.

No
The device is used for preparing teeth for restorations and sealants, and for etching, which are all preparatory or restorative procedures, not therapeutic treatments for a disease or condition.

No

The device is described as being used for cavity preparations, composite restoration removal, sealant preparation, and etching for bonding, all of which are treatment-oriented procedures rather than diagnostic ones.

No

The device description is not found, but the intended use clearly describes a physical "AIR ABRASION SYSTEM" used for dental procedures, implying a hardware component.

Based on the provided information, the AIRDENT II AIR ABRASION SYSTEM is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended uses listed are all related to direct treatment and preparation of tooth structure and porcelain within the patient's mouth. This is a clinical procedure performed on a living organism.
  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are devices used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, tissue) outside of the body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.

The AIRDENT II is a dental tool used for physical manipulation of tooth structure, not for analyzing biological samples in a lab setting.
