No
The summary describes a dental porcelain stain, a material used in prosthetic dentistry, with no mention of software, algorithms, or any technology related to AI or ML.

No.
The device is a porcelain stain used to create a porcelain prosthesis, which is a material used in dentistry, not a therapeutic device for direct treatment or amelioration of a disease or condition.

No
The device is described as "SUPER PORCELAIN STAIN - PURE WHITE" and is used to "CREATE A PORCELAIN PROSTHESIS ON A FRAME OF DENTAL ALLOY." This indicates it is a material used in the creation of a dental prosthesis, not a tool or system used to diagnose a condition.

No

The device description "SUPER PORCELAIN STAIN - PURE WHITE" strongly suggests a physical material used in prosthetic dentistry, not a software application.

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 PROSTHETIC DENTISTRY TO CREATE A PORCELAIN PROSTHESIS ON A FRAME OF DENTAL ALLOY". This describes a material used in the fabrication of a dental restoration, not a test performed on a sample taken from the human body to provide information about a physiological or pathological state.
  • Device Description: "SUPER PORCELAIN STAIN - PURE WHITE" further reinforces that this is a material used in the dental lab.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description lacks any mention of analyzing biological samples, providing diagnostic information, or any of the typical elements associated with IVD devices (e.g., reagents, calibrators, controls, analytical performance metrics).

Therefore, this device falls under the category of a dental material used in the fabrication of a prosthesis, not an in vitro diagnostic device.
