No
The summary describes a computer-aided design and milling system for dental restorations, but there is no mention of AI or ML in the intended use, device description, or any other section.

No
The device is used for designing and milling dental restorations, which are replacement structures, not a treatment for disease or injury.

No
The device is used for the computer-aided design and milling of dental restorations, which is a treatment or restorative function, not a diagnostic one.

No

The intended use explicitly mentions "milling of ceramic dental restorations," which is a hardware-based process. The summary does not provide information suggesting the device is solely software controlling an external milling machine.

Based on the provided information, the CEREC® 3 System is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states the device is for the "computer-aided design and milling of ceramic dental restorations." This describes a process performed outside the body, but it's focused on creating a physical dental restoration, not on analyzing biological samples to diagnose a condition.
  • 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 diagnostic information about a patient's health status
    • Using reagents or assays
    • Measuring biomarkers

IVDs are devices used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. The CEREC® 3 System's function is to fabricate dental prosthetics, which falls outside this definition.
