No
The summary describes a physical device for particle evacuation and contains no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or data analysis that would suggest the use of such technologies.

No
The device is used for evacuation of solid airborne particles, which is a supportive function rather than directly treating a condition or disease.

No
The device is used for extra-oral evacuation of solid airborne particles, which is a therapeutic or procedural function, not a diagnostic one.

No

The description clearly states the device is used for "extra-oral evacuation of solid airborne particles," which implies a physical device for suction or collection, not solely software.

Based on the provided information, the DENTO-VAC device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for "extra-oral evacuation of solid airborne particles from the oral cavity during dental Air Abrasion procedures." This describes a physical process of removing debris, not a diagnostic test performed on biological samples.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
    • Analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
    • Providing information about a patient's health status, disease, or condition
    • Using reagents or assays
    • Performing measurements or tests on samples

The DENTO-VAC device appears to be a medical device used for a procedural purpose (particle evacuation) rather than a diagnostic purpose.
