The summary describes a metal alloy, which is a material, not a software-based device that would typically incorporate AI/ML. The "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML" field is explicitly "Not Found".
No
The description states it is a "metal to ceramic type 4 alloy" and a "medical device in accordance with Regulation 93/42 EEC. Class IIa according to Annex IX," but makes no claims of a therapeutic effect or purpose.
No
Explanation: The provided text describes the device as a "metal to ceramic type 4 alloy" and a "medical device in accordance with Regulation 93/42 EEC. Class Iia according to Annex IX." There is no mention or indication that this device is used for diagnosis.
No
The device description explicitly states it is a "metal to ceramic type 4 alloy," which is a physical material, not software.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- The Intended Use/Indications for Use describes it as a "metal to ceramic type 4 alloy" and a "medical device in accordance with Regulation 93/42 EEC. Class Iia according to Annex IX." This description points towards a material used in the body or for creating devices that interact with the body, not a device used to examine specimens in vitro (outside the body) to provide diagnostic information.
- The Device Description reiterates it's a "metal to ceramic type 4 alloy." This further supports its nature as a material rather than a diagnostic test.
- There is no mention of analyzing biological specimens (blood, urine, tissue, etc.) or providing diagnostic information based on such analysis. This is a key characteristic of IVDs.
Therefore, based on the provided text, Bio PontoStar is a medical device, but not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.
