No
The summary describes a light-based device for curing and whitening, with no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or data-driven performance metrics.

No
The device is used for curing dental restorative materials and assisting in the whitening process, which are functional procedures rather than therapeutic interventions aimed at treating a disease or condition.

No

The device is described as a light source for curing dental materials and assisting in teeth whitening. Its function is to provide illumination, not to diagnose medical conditions or analyze data to determine the presence or nature of a disease.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "high pressure mercury light source filtered and transmitted through an optical fiber," which are hardware components.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended uses are for curing dental restorative materials and assisting in teeth whitening. These are procedures performed directly on the patient's teeth, not on samples taken from the body for diagnostic purposes.
  • Device Description: The device is a light source used for curing and whitening. It does not involve the analysis of biological samples.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing blood, urine, tissue, or any other biological sample. The device's function is based on the interaction of light with dental materials and teeth.

IVD devices are specifically designed to perform tests on samples taken from the human body to provide information for the diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment of diseases or conditions. This device does not fit that description.
