No
The summary describes a standard dental handpiece and contains no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or data sets typically associated with AI/ML devices.

No

A "therapeutic device" is typically one that treats or heals. While a dental handpiece is used for procedures that contribute to the treatment of dental issues (like removing caries), its primary function as described is preparatory and restorative, rather than directly therapeutic in the sense of healing disease or injury.

No
The provided "Intended Use / Indications for Use" describes functions that are interventional (removing material, preparing teeth, polishing), not diagnostic. It does not mention identifying diseases or conditions.

No

The device is described as a "dental low-speed handpiece," which is a physical hardware device used in dentistry. The summary does not mention any software component as the primary or sole 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 device used for mechanical procedures directly on the teeth (removing material, preparing cavities, polishing, etc.). This is a therapeutic or surgical application, not a diagnostic one.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Function: There is no mention of the device being used to analyze samples (like blood, urine, tissue) or to provide information about a patient's health status or disease. IVDs are specifically designed for these purposes.
  • Anatomical Site: The device is used on teeth, which are part of the patient's body, not a sample taken from the body.

In summary, the function of a dental low-speed handpiece as described is to physically alter or prepare teeth, which falls outside the definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic device.
