No
The provided text describes a dental cement and does not mention any AI or ML components or functionalities.

No
The device is described as a cement, base, or liner for dental restorations, which are materials used in dental procedures, not therapeutic devices that treat a disease or condition.

No
The provided text describes LIQUID A as a material used for dental restorations (cement, base, or liner), not a device that diagnoses conditions.

No

The provided text describes a dental cement, which is a physical material, not a software-only device.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states the device is for use as a dental cement, base, or liner in a dental restoration. This is a direct application within the body (or on a part of the body, the tooth), not for testing samples taken from the body.
  • 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 those samples
    • Providing information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening of diseases or conditions.

The device's function is to physically set and provide structural support in a dental procedure, which falls under the category of a medical device used in vivo (within the living body).
