More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes a chemical mixture for occluding dentin tubules and makes no mention of AI or ML.

Yes
The device is used to treat a medical condition (dentin hypersensitivity and cervical Class V erosion), which directly impacts health and well-being.

No
The device is described as "Desensitizing dentin surfaces by occluding dentin tubules," which indicates a therapeutic or treatment function, not a diagnostic one.

No

The intended use describes a physical process involving "A mixture of 2 Liquids" to occlude dentin tubules, which is a hardware/substance-based treatment, not a software-only function.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use describes a treatment applied directly to the patient's dentin surfaces to desensitize them. This is a therapeutic application within the body, not a diagnostic test performed on samples taken from the body.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
    • Analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
    • Providing information about a patient's health status, disease, or condition
    • Using reagents or kits for testing

Therefore, this device falls under the category of a dental therapeutic device, not an in vitro diagnostic device.
