The summary explicitly states "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML: Not Found" and provides no other information suggesting the use of these technologies.
Yes
The device is intended for the prescribed treatment of malocclusions, indicating a therapeutic purpose.
No
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" states that the device is for "prescribed treatment of malocclusions," not diagnosis.
Unknown
The provided 510(k) summary lacks sufficient detail about the device's nature (hardware, software, or a combination) to definitively determine if it is software-only. The description "Affirm Smart Releasable Force Module" suggests a potential hardware component, but this is not explicitly stated or clarified.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is for the "prescribed treatment of malocclusions by dentists." This describes a therapeutic device used directly on a patient for treatment, not a device used to examine specimens (like blood, tissue, etc.) outside the body to provide diagnostic information.
- Device Description: The description "Affirm Smart Releasable Force Module" and "Compliance Science™" suggests a mechanical or physical device used in orthodontic treatment.
- Lack of IVD Indicators: The document does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
- Analyzing biological specimens.
- Providing diagnostic information.
- Measuring analytes.
- Using reagents.
Therefore, based on the provided text, this device falls under the category of a therapeutic medical device used for orthodontic treatment, not an in vitro diagnostic device.
