No
The summary explicitly states "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML: Not Found" and the device description and intended use are consistent with traditional mechanical dental attachments.

No
The device is used for drilling, preparation, disking, and polishing of dental cavities and crowns, which are procedures that modify a body part for therapeutic purposes (restoration). However, it is a tool used by a professional to perform a therapeutic act, not a therapeutic device itself that directly treats a condition or restores health through its own mechanism. It's an accessory to a motor used in a therapeutic procedure.

No
The device, a low-speed dental attachment, is described for use in drilling, preparation, disking, and polishing of dental cavities for restoration. These are treatment and preparation procedures, not diagnostic ones.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a dental attachment that affixes to a low speed dental motor, indicating it is a physical hardware component.

No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information about a person's health. This testing is done outside of the body (in vitro).
  • Device Function: The description clearly states that this device is a low speed dental attachment used intraorally (inside the mouth) for procedures like drilling, preparing cavities, polishing, etc. These are direct interventions on the patient's body, not tests performed on specimens.

The device description and intended use are consistent with a standard dental tool used for direct patient care, not for diagnostic testing of biological samples.
