Intended Use
The SciCan Classic and accessories is to provide video images of the mouth and oral structures, dental cavities, dental pulps, dental canal morphology. It is used to perform various diagnostic procedures, to provide educational information to patients as well as to other clinical personnel and to provide documentation for patient records and for insurance companies. SciCan Classic also is used for inspection of reliable diagonsis of border gaps when dealing with inlays. Additionally it acts as an effective caries detector during the examination of areas of the mouth which are normally difficult to approach. Further indications for use are extra-oral imaging of the whole face and of the mouth, outline imaging of the quadrants and macroscopic images of the dental enamel. The SciCan Classic and accessories are indicated for use when video images are desired to provide visual information during dental examinations and procedures.
Device Description
The SciCan Classic is a video camera system with a modular design due to a handpiece system with interchangeable optics. It uses a CCD ½" camera chip and provides fiber optic illumination by an integrated light source with automatic exposure control. It has removable and interchangeable probe options (90° probes, 0° probe). It supports NTSC / PAL video systems and has a power consumption of 150 Watt.
More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes a standard video camera system for dental imaging with interchangeable optics and automatic exposure control. There is no mention of AI, ML, or advanced image processing beyond basic video capture and illumination control. The "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML" and "Mentions image processing" sections explicitly state "Not Found".

No
The device is described as a video camera for diagnostic procedures and providing visual information during dental examinations, not for therapeutic purposes.

Yes

This device is explicitly stated to be used "to perform various diagnostic procedures" and for "reliable diagnosis of border gaps" and as an "effective caries detector."

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "video camera system with a modular design due to a handpiece system with interchangeable optics" and mentions hardware components like a "CCD ½" camera chip," "fiber optic illumination," and "removable and interchangeable probe options." This indicates it is a hardware device with integrated software, not a software-only medical device.

Based on the provided information, the SciCan Classic is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) device.

Here's why:

  • IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body. The SciCan Classic is used to capture video images directly of the mouth, oral structures, and face. It does not process or analyze biological samples taken from the patient.
  • The intended use focuses on visual examination and documentation. The descriptions of its use for providing video images, educational information, documentation, and aiding in visual inspection of dental structures align with a diagnostic imaging device, not an in vitro diagnostic test.
  • The device description details a video camera system. The components described (CCD camera chip, fiber optic illumination, interchangeable probes) are characteristic of an imaging system, not a device designed for analyzing biological specimens.

Therefore, the SciCan Classic falls under the category of a medical imaging device used for visual examination and documentation in a clinical setting.
