The summary describes a chemical adhesive system for dental impressions and makes no mention of AI or ML technology.
No
The device is an adhesive system used to bond impression materials to dental trays, which aids in taking dental impressions. It does not directly treat or prevent a disease or condition in a patient.
No
The device is described as an adhesive system for attaching impression materials to trays, building a chemical link between them. Its purpose is not to diagnose any condition.
No
The device description clearly states it is a "material" and describes its chemical composition and physical function as an adhesive system. This indicates a physical product, 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 to adhere impression materials to dental trays. This is a mechanical/chemical function performed outside the body, not a diagnostic test performed on a sample taken from the body.
- Device Description: The description focuses on the chemical composition and its function in creating a link between materials. It doesn't mention analyzing biological samples or providing diagnostic information.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing blood, urine, tissue, or any other biological sample. There is no indication of providing diagnostic information about a patient's health status.
IVD devices are specifically designed to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. This device does not fit that description.
