The device is a cement, which is a physical material, not software. The 510(k) summary describes a product for permanent cementation, indicating a tangible substance.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for the permanent cementation of endodontic posts into root canals. This is a procedure performed directly on a patient's body (in vivo) to restore a tooth.
  • IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics (IVDs) are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.

The ParaCem cement is a material used in a dental procedure, not a test performed on a sample outside the body.
