No
The summary describes a dental porcelain powder, a material used in restorations, with no mention of software, image processing, or AI/ML terms.

No
The device is dental porcelain used in the manufacture of restorations, which is a material component, not a device directly used for therapy.

No
Explanation: The device, dental porcelain, is used in the manufacture of dental restorations and is sold in powder form. It does not perform any diagnostic function.

No

The device description clearly states it is "Dental Porcelain - various, sold in powder form," 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 "Dental porcelain used in the manufacture of porcelain-fused-to-metal restorations." This describes a material used in a dental restoration process, not a test performed on a sample taken from the human body to provide information about a physiological state or disease.
  • Device Description: The device is described as "Dental Porcelain - various, sold in powder form." This is a material, not a diagnostic instrument or reagent.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description lacks any mention of:
    • Analyzing samples from the human body (blood, urine, tissue, etc.).
    • Providing diagnostic information about a patient's health.
    • Reagents, calibrators, or controls typically associated with IVD tests.

IVDs are specifically designed to be used in vitro (outside the body) to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. This dental porcelain does not fit that definition.

§ 880.2910 Clinical electronic thermometer.

(a)
Identification. A clinical electronic thermometer is a device used to measure the body temperature of a patient by means of a transducer coupled with an electronic signal amplification, conditioning, and display unit. The transducer may be in a detachable probe with or without a disposable cover.(b)
Classification. Class II (performance standards). The device is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in part 807, subpart E of this chapter, subject to the limitations in § 880.9 and the following conditions for exemption:(1) Device is not a clinical thermometer with telethermographic functions;
(2) Device is not a clinical thermometer with continuous temperature measurement functions; and
(3) Appropriate analysis and testing (such as that outlined in the currently FDA-recognized editions, as appropriate, of ISO 80601-2-56, “Medical electrical equipment—Part 2-56: Particular requirements for basic safety and essential performance of clinical thermometers for body temperature measurement,” or ASTM E1965, “Standard Specification for Infrared Thermometers for Intermittent Determination of Patient Temperature,” or ASTM E1112, “Standard Specification for Electronic Thermometer for Intermittent Determination of Patient Temperature,” or ASTM E1104, “Standard Specification for Clinical Thermometer Probe Covers and Sheaths”) must validate specifications and performance of the device.
