Not Found

No
The device description focuses on the light source and optical fiber for curing and whitening, with no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or data-driven performance metrics.

No
The device is described as a light source for curing dental restorative materials and assisting in teeth whitening. Neither of these uses is considered a therapeutic treatment for a disease or medical condition. Curing materials is a restorative procedure, and teeth whitening is a cosmetic procedure.

No
The device description indicates its functions are for curing dental restorative materials and assisting in the whitening process, which are treatment or procedural aids, not diagnostic functions.

No

The device description explicitly states it is comprised of a high-intensity light source, optical fiber, and accepts electrical voltages, indicating it is a hardware device.

No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health. This testing is done outside of the body ("in vitro").
  • Device Function: The Easy-Cure™ Curing and Whitening Light is used directly on the patient's teeth to cure dental materials and assist in whitening. It does not analyze any specimens taken from the body.
  • Intended Use: The intended uses clearly describe procedures performed on the patient, not laboratory testing of samples.

Therefore, based on the provided information, this device falls under the category of a dental device used for treatment and procedures performed directly on the patient, not an IVD.
