The summary describes a ceramic material for dental restorations and does not mention any software, algorithms, or AI/ML capabilities.
No
This device is a ceramic material used for fabricating dental restorations, which are considered prosthetics or restorative devices, not therapeutic devices.
No
The device is a ceramic material used for fabricating dental restorations, not for diagnosing medical conditions. Its intended use is to create copings and frameworks for various dental applications.
No
The device description explicitly states it is a "ceramic material," which is a physical substance, not software.
No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is for fabricating dental restorations (copings, frameworks, etc.). This is a manufacturing process for a medical device that will be placed in the body, not a test performed on a sample taken from the body to diagnose a condition.
- Device Description: The device is a ceramic material used to create physical restorations. IVDs are typically reagents, instruments, or systems used to analyze biological samples.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: The document does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
- Analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
- Detecting or measuring specific substances in those samples
- Providing information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening of diseases or conditions.
This device falls under the category of a dental restorative material, which is a type of medical device, but not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

(a)
Identification. Porcelain powder for clinical use is a device consisting of a mixture of kaolin, felspar, quartz, or other substances intended for use in the production of artificial teeth in fixed or removable dentures, of jacket crowns, facings, and veneers. The device is used in prosthetic dentistry by heating the powder mixture to a high temperature in an oven to produce a hard prosthesis with a glass-like finish.(b)
