No
The provided 510(k) summary contains no mention of AI, ML, deep learning, image processing, or any other terms typically associated with AI/ML technologies in medical devices. The intended use is for fabrication, which doesn't inherently require AI/ML.

No
The intended use describes the device as being used to fabricate dental crowns, bridges, inlays, and onlays, which are restorative dental materials, not therapeutic devices.

No
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" states the device is "For Use in the Fabrication of Dental Crowns, Bridges, Inlays and Onlays," which describes manufacturing or fabrication, not diagnosis. There is no information provided that suggests the device analyzes patient data to identify or characterize medical conditions.

Unknown

The provided 510(k) summary is incomplete and lacks a device description, making it impossible to determine if the device is software-only.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is "For Use in the Fabrication of Dental Crowns, Bridges, Inlays and Onlays." This describes a process for creating dental prosthetics, which is a manufacturing or fabrication process, not a diagnostic test performed on biological samples.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description lacks any mention of:
    • Analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
    • Providing diagnostic information about a patient's health status
    • Using reagents or other materials typically associated with in vitro testing

IVD devices are specifically designed to perform tests on samples taken from the human body to provide information for the diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment of diseases or conditions. This device's intended use falls outside of that scope.

Dear Mr. Putney:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) notification of intent to market the device referenced above and we have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (Premarket Approval), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major requlations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Requlations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 895. A substantially equivalent determination assumes compliance with the Current Good Manufacturing Practice requirements, as set forth in the Quality System Regulation (QS) for Medical General regulation (21 CFR Part 820) and that, Devices: through periodic QS inspections, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will verify such assumptions. Failure to comply with the GMP regulation may result in regulatory In addition, FDA may publish further announcements action. concerning your device in the Federal Reqister. Please note: this response to your premarket notification submission does not affect any obligation you might have under sections 531
