No
The 510(k) summary describes a dental composite material and its intended uses, with no mention of AI, ML, or any computational processing of data or images.

No.
The device is a dental restorative material used for filling defects and restorations, not for treating diseases or conditions.

No

Explanation: The device description and intended use indicate that FLOWABLE COMPOSITE is a restorative material used for filling defects and other dental repairs. It does not perform any diagnostic function.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "one-component, moderately filled, visible light cured dental composite restorative 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 uses listed are all related to direct dental restorations and procedures performed within the mouth (filling defects, lining restorations, sealing pits, repairing margins, etc.). These are clinical procedures performed on a patient, not tests performed on samples taken from a patient outside the body.
  • Device Description: The description clearly states it's a "dental composite restorative material" and is used for "restoration of shallow defects." This aligns with a material used for direct clinical treatment.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), detecting analytes, providing diagnostic information, or being used in a laboratory setting for testing purposes.

IVDs are devices used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. This device does not fit that description.
