No
The provided 510(k) summary contains no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or any other technology typically associated with AI/ML in medical devices. The intended use is for fabrication, which is a manufacturing process, not typically an AI/ML application.

No.
The intended use describes the fabrication of dental prostheses substructures, which are restorative devices, not therapeutic devices.

No
The 'Intended Use / Indications for Use' describes the fabrication of dental prostheses substructures, which is a manufacturing or treatment function, not a diagnostic one.

Unknown

The provided 510(k) summary lacks a device description, making it impossible to determine if the device is software-only or includes hardware components.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is "Fabrication of Porcelain-Fused-to-Metal Dental Crowns, Bridges, and Implant-supported Prosthesis Substructures." This describes a device used in the creation of dental prosthetics, which are medical devices used in vivo (within 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 based on the analysis of biological samples.
    • Use in a laboratory setting for diagnostic purposes.

IVDs are specifically designed to perform tests on samples taken from the human body to provide diagnostic information. This device's intended use is related to manufacturing dental prosthetics, which is a different category of medical device.
