No
The summary describes a physical implant device made of titanium and does not mention any software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate the use of AI/ML.

Yes
The device is described as being used during endodontic therapy to permanently fill the root canal of a tooth, which is a therapeutic intervention.

No
The device is used to fill a tooth's root canal during endodontic therapy, which is a treatment procedure, not a diagnostic one.

No

The device description clearly states it is a physical titanium endodontic point, which is a hardware component.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to "fill permanently the root canal of a tooth" during endodontic therapy. This is a therapeutic procedure performed directly on the patient's tooth.
  • Device Description: The device is a physical implant made of titanium, designed to be placed within the body (the root canal).
  • Lack of Diagnostic Function: There is no mention of this device being used to test samples from the body (like blood, urine, or tissue) to diagnose a condition. IVDs are used for diagnostic purposes, not for direct treatment or implantation.

Therefore, the Pacific Implant Titanium Endodontic Point is a medical device used for treatment, not an in vitro diagnostic device.
