No
The summary describes a simple electric motor handpiece with various attachments, with no mention of AI or ML capabilities, image processing, or data analysis.

No
The device is a handpiece used for dental procedures, not directly for treating or curing a disease or condition. Its purpose is to facilitate dental work like prophylaxis or endodontics.

No
The description states the device is intended for "light general dental, prophylaxis, or endodontic works," which are treatment or procedural tasks, not diagnostic activities. There is no mention of it being used to identify or analyze a medical condition.

No

The device description explicitly details a physical, battery-powered electric motor handpiece with detachable heads, indicating it is a hardware device, not software-only.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for "light general dental, prophylaxis, or endodontic works." This describes procedures performed directly on a patient's teeth and mouth.
  • Device Description: The device is a "low-speed electric motor handpiece" with various attachments for dental procedures. This is a tool used in a clinical setting for physical manipulation.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: IVD devices are used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, tissue) in vitro (outside the body) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. The provided description does not mention any such use or interaction with biological specimens.

Therefore, this device is a dental instrument used for clinical procedures, not an in vitro diagnostic device.
