No
The 510(k) summary describes a simple mechanical device (a prophy angle) and contains no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or data sets typically associated with AI/ML development.

No
The device is used for polishing tooth surfaces, which is a cosmetic or hygiene procedure, not a therapeutic treatment aimed at curing or alleviating a disease or condition.

No
The device is described as a "Prophy Angle" used "to polish the tooth surfaces of a patient" during a "prophylaxis treatment." This indicates a therapeutic or maintenance function rather than a diagnostic one.

No

The device description clearly indicates a physical, disposable prophy angle, which is a hardware component used in dental procedures. There is no mention of software as the primary or sole component.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to "polish the tooth surfaces of a patient during a prophylaxis treatment." This is a direct treatment on the patient's body (in vivo), not a test performed on a sample taken from the body (in vitro).
  • Device Description: The description is for a "Disposable Prophy Angle," which is a tool used for mechanical polishing.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing samples, detecting substances, or providing diagnostic information based on biological samples.

IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. This device does not fit that description.
