Intended Use
These contra angles are designed to be used with dental motors for : Model TUL-1: For endodontic procedures, removing carious material, reducing hard tooth structure, cavity preparations, finishing tooth preparations and restorations, and polishing teeth Mechanical root canal preparation with Models TUL-8M and TUL16-MT: rotating files
Device Description
The TULSA CONTRA ANGLES are contra angle attachments to handpieces and are manufactured by W&H Dentalwerks GmbH for DENTSPLY Tulsa Dental as Models TUL-1, TUL-8M, and TUL-16MT. These contra angles are designed to transmit the rotational movement of the motor axle to the shank of a bur or file that will be inserted into the output end of the contra angle. These contra angles contain a coupling part fittable to dental motors with a coupling according to ISO 3964. The output ends of the handpieces contain chuck systems for accommodations of standardized bur and file shanks.
More Information

No
The document describes a mechanical dental device (contra angles) and does not mention any software, algorithms, or AI/ML capabilities.

No
The device is a contra angle attachment for dental handpieces, intended to transmit rotational movement to burs or files for dental procedures like cavity preparations and root canal preparation. It is an accessory for mechanical procedures, not a therapeutic device in itself.

No

Explanation: The device is described as a contra angle attachment for handpieces used with dental motors for various dental procedures like endodontics, removing carious material, cavity preparations, and polishing teeth. These are all interventional or treatment procedures, not diagnostic ones. The text does not mention any diagnostic function such as imaging, analysis of physiological signals, or measurement of bodily parameters for diagnosis.

No

The device description clearly states it is a physical contra angle attachment for dental handpieces, designed to transmit rotational movement. It is a hardware device.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
  • Device Description: The description clearly states that these contra angles are attachments for dental handpieces used with dental motors. They are designed to transmit rotational movement to burs or files for procedures performed directly on the tooth structure (endodontic procedures, removing carious material, cavity preparations, etc.).
  • Intended Use: The intended uses listed are all related to mechanical procedures performed within the mouth, not on samples taken from the body.

Therefore, the TULSA CONTRA ANGLES are dental instruments used for mechanical procedures, not for in vitro diagnostic testing.
