The summary explicitly states "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML: Not Found" and provides no other information suggesting the use of these technologies.

No.
Explanation: The intended use of the device is for "Fabrication or repair of bases for partial or full dentures," which is a restorative or prosthetic function, not a therapeutic one aimed at treating a disease or disorder.

No
Explanation: The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" states "Fabrication or repair of bases for partial or full dentures," which describes a manufacturing or repair function, not a diagnostic one.

No

The provided 510(k) summary describes a device used for the fabrication or repair of denture bases, which is a physical process involving materials and potentially hardware. There is no mention of software as the primary or sole component of this device.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is "Fabrication or repair of bases for partial or full dentures." This describes a device used outside the body for creating or fixing dental prosthetics.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
    • Analyzing samples from the human body (blood, urine, tissue, etc.).
    • Providing information about a person's health status, diagnosis, or disease.
    • Using reagents or calibrators.

IVDs are specifically designed to perform tests on samples taken from the human body to provide diagnostic or health-related information. This device's function is purely mechanical/fabrication related for dental purposes.
