No
The 510(k) summary describes a dental curing light, a device that uses illumination for curing materials and tooth whitening. There is no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or any other technology typically associated with AI/ML in the provided text.

No.
The primary function of the device is illumination for curing and whitening, not treating a disease or condition directly.

No
The device is used for curing dental restorative materials and tooth whitening, which are treatment or procedure-related functions, not diagnostic.

No

The intended use describes a "source of illumination," which strongly suggests a hardware component (a light source) is the primary functional element of the device. There is no mention of software being the sole or primary component.

Based on the provided information, the Flipo Curing Light is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for curing dental restorative materials and tooth whitening. These are procedures performed directly on the patient's teeth, not on samples taken from the body.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description doesn't mention any analysis of biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.) or the diagnosis of diseases or conditions based on such analysis.

IVDs are devices used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for the diagnosis, prevention, monitoring, treatment, or alleviation of disease. The Flipo Curing Light's function is purely therapeutic/procedural, not diagnostic.
