More Information

No
The summary does not mention AI, ML, image processing, or any other technology typically associated with AI/ML in medical devices. The description focuses on a chemical etching process for detecting decay.

No.
The device is used to detect residual decay, which is a diagnostic function, not a therapeutic one. It assists in a procedural technique rather than directly treating a condition.

Yes
The device is used to "DETECT RESIDUAL DECAY" which is a form of diagnosis in the context of dental care.

Unknown

The provided 510(k) summary lacks a device description, making it impossible to determine if the device is software-only or includes hardware components. The intended use describes a technique involving etching dentine, which typically involves physical materials and tools, but the summary doesn't clarify if the device is the etching material itself, a software tool to guide the process, or something else entirely.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to "DETECT RESIDUAL DECAY (DENATURED PROTEIN) WHILE ETCHING DENTINE". This is a diagnostic function, but it's performed in vivo (within the patient's mouth) during a dental procedure, not in vitro (outside the body, typically on a sample).
  • Anatomical Site: The anatomical site is "Dentine", which is part of the patient's tooth.
  • Lack of mention of samples: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (like blood, urine, tissue samples, etc.), which is a key characteristic of IVDs.

IVDs are devices used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. This device operates directly on the patient's tooth during a procedure.
