The 510(k) summary describes a dental alloy, which is a material, not a software-based device. There is no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or any other software-driven functionality.
No
The device is described as a "crown and bridge metal to ceramic type 4 alloy," which is a material used in restorative dentistry, not a therapeutic device designed for treatment or therapy. Its classification as a "medical device in accordance with 93/42 EEC. Class IIa" indicates it's regulated for medical use, but not specifically as a therapeutic device.
No
The device is described as a crown and bridge metal to ceramic alloy, which is a material used for restorations and not for diagnosing medical conditions.
No
The device description explicitly states it is a "crown and bridge 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:
- Intended Use: The intended use is described as a "crown and bridge metal to ceramic type 4 alloy." This indicates a material used for dental restorations, which are implanted or placed in the body.
- Medical Device Classification: It is classified as a "medical device in accordance with 93/42 EEC. Class IIa according to Annex IX." This classification system is for general medical devices, not specifically for in vitro diagnostics.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
- Analyzing samples from the human body (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
- Providing information about a physiological or pathological state
- Being used for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening
In vitro diagnostics are devices used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. BegoPal, as described, is a material used in the body, not for testing samples from the body.
