No
The summary describes artificial teeth for dentures and contains no mention of AI, ML, or related concepts like image processing or performance studies typically associated with AI/ML devices.

No
The device is described as "teeth to be used in conjunction with denture base resin for the construction of full and partial dentures." While dentures are for medical purposes (replacing missing teeth), they are considered prosthetic devices, not therapeutic devices. Therapeutic devices are typically used to treat a disease or condition, whereas prosthetics replace a body part.

No

Explanation: The device, "NATURA teeth," is described as being used for the construction of full and partial dentures, which is a restorative/prosthetic purpose, not for diagnosing medical conditions.

No

The device description and intended use clearly indicate a physical product (artificial teeth) used in conjunction with denture base resin, 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 the construction of dentures, which is a mechanical and restorative process performed outside of the body. IVDs are used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information about a person's health.
  • Device Description: While the description is "Not Found," the intended use clearly points away from diagnostic testing.
  • No mention of biological samples: There is no indication that this device interacts with or analyzes biological samples.

Therefore, NATURA teeth, as described, are a dental prosthetic component, not an in vitro diagnostic device.
