The unit includes a power supply, control unit, user display tablet, hose and a brushless motor. The control unit is programmable to adjust motor speed, motor direction, and light intensity. The inputs to the control unit are supplied by an electronic tablet which is connected to the unit via a USB cable. The electronic tablet Perceptive application accepts both finger touch and a limited set of voice commands. The motor speed can also be controlled via the pneumatic footswitch connected to the control unit. The unit is designed to control the motor to drive ISO 3964 compatible contra angle and straight dental handpieces at an output speed of 1,000 to 40,000 rpm. #### Indications for Use Lares Research Perceptive electric motor and control unit and Bien Air Dental Optima MCX predicate device are intended for professional use for general dentistry for and dental restoration procedures. The user motor controls for ### 807.92(a)(5) l motor and 807.92(a)(4) 807.92(a)(3) {4}------------------------------------------------ #### Section 5 - 510k Summary - Perceptive electric dental motor and control restorative dental procedures for the Perceptive and the predicate device are equivalent when industry standard 1:5 or 1:1 contra angle or straight handpieces are used. Both devices are safe and effective when used in general dentistry and dental restoration procedures. #### Device Technological Characteristics #### 807.92(a)(6) The Lares Research Perceptive electric motor and control unit and the predicate device include a power supply, control unit, hose, motor. The Perceptive unit also has an electronic tablet user interface taking the place of the manual control knob and switch used on the predicate device. #### Power supply Both units use a universal input voltage medical grade power supply to isolate the mains voltage from the user and patient and provide 32 VDC to the console. Console and user interface Both units have user controls to set the motor speed via the console. The Bien Air Dental unit has manual controls on the console, and the Perceptive unit uses a USB port to provide a graphical user interface (finger touch) to control the motor speed, direction and light. The Lares Research Perceptive software application also accepts a limited number of user voice commands (via the connected tablet) to set motor speed and direction, and motor light on or off. The voice control for the Perceptive unit is an identical set of commands designed to set the motor speed and direction and turn the light on or off. The Lares Research Perceptive and the Bien Air Dental Optima MCX units are designed for the user's foot-operated rheostat to control the motor start and stop commands. Both consoles connect to an ISO 9168 compatible dental tubing to supply cooling air, spray air and water to a contra angle or straight handpiece attachment. Motor The Lares Research Perceptive electric motor and control unit and the predicate device include a small, brushless motor with permanent magnets which operates from 1,000 to 40,000 rpm and is removable from the control cable and can be safely sterilized between patients. The motors for both units have an ISO 3964 E-type connection which accepts dental handpieces with the same standard design. The Lares Research Perceptive unit includes a safety program feature which senses motor current to operationally, visually and audibly warn the operator of potential attachment failure. {5}------------------------------------------------ #### Summary Table of Technological Characteristics | Product | Lares Research Perceptive | Bien Air Dental Optima MCX | |----------------------------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Power supply | | | | Input voltage | 100-240 VAC 50 - 60 Hz | 100-240 VAC 47 - 63 Hz | | Output power (watts) | 130 | 160 | | Control unit | | | | Dental unit input | ISO 9168 type 2 input | ISO 9168 type 2 input | | Power input | 32 VDC | 32 VDC | | User interface | Electronic tablet | Manual control knob and switch | | Device control | Motor speed, motor direction and light | Motor speed and motor direction | | Motor drive safety control | Motor drive current limit - motor drive<br>current is reduced with visual and audible<br>user alerts | The motor control card stops the motor<br>if the motor is locked for more than 2<br>seconds or becomes hot. | | System error notifications | User display errors for motor connection<br>fault and motor drive fault | Motor stops or doesn't start | | Motor | | | | Construction | Brushless type, 3 phase motor,<br>synchronous with permanent magnets | brushless type with permanent<br>magnets | | Motor light (LED) | Variable from 10 - 28 kLux | Yes | | Sterilizable | Yes | Yes | | Lubrication | Maintenance free | Maintenance free | | Warranty | 2 years | 3 years | Section 5 - 510k Summary - Perceptive electric dental motor and control #### Nonclinical Tests Discussion ## Nonclinical tests included: Performance tests were conducted in-house usability testing at Lares Research using prototype Preceptive electric dental control units. The motor speed, direction and light output were evaluated for finger-touch and voice command operation during validation testing. The Lares Research Preceptive unit maintained control of the motor speed, direction and light output. #### Clinical Test Discussion No clinical field trials have been conducted with the Lares Research Perceptive electric dental motor and control unit. #### Conclusion Information included in this submission provides data confirming the Lares Research Perceptive dental motor and control unit is substantially equivalent to #### 807.92(b)(2) 807.92(b)(1) ### 807.92(b)(3) {6}------------------------------------------------ #### Section 5 – 510k Summary – Perceptive electric dental motor and control the predicate Optima MCX motor and control unit. Both devices have the same basic system motor speed and direction controls and the same intended use. The Lares Research Perceptive unit also allows the user to control the light output and has an electronic tablet to provide improved feedback for device settings and status and allow a limited set of voice commands. Both units are equally safe and effective when used as intended for general dentistry and dental restorative procedures when coupled with contra angle or straight 1:5 speed increasing or 1:1 direct drive ISO 3964 type 3 connection handpieces.
