No
The summary describes a prophy paste, a physical substance used for cleaning and polishing teeth. There is no mention of software, algorithms, or any technology that would incorporate AI or ML. The performance studies are bench tests related to the physical properties of the paste.

No
The device is described as a prophy paste used for cleaning and polishing, which are preventative and cosmetic procedures, not inherently therapeutic for a disease or condition. While it contains fluoride, which has therapeutic benefits, its intended use is for prophylaxis, not treatment of an existing condition.

No
The device is described as a prophy paste used for cleaning and polishing procedures. It is used as part of a prophylaxis treatment, which is a preventive and maintenance procedure, not a diagnostic one.

No

The device description clearly states it is a paste composed of physical components (abrasive, flavorant, colorant, fluoride), indicating it is a physical substance, not software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for "cleaning and polishing procedures as part of a professionally administered prophylaxis treatment." This describes a physical procedure performed on a patient's teeth, not a test performed on a sample taken from the body to diagnose a condition.
  • Device Description: The description lists components like an abrasive, flavorant, colorant, and fluoride. These are typical ingredients in a dental polishing paste, not reagents or components used in an in vitro diagnostic test.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), detecting specific analytes, or providing diagnostic information about a patient's health status.

In summary, the device is a dental product used for a physical treatment procedure, not a diagnostic test performed outside the body.
