Device Description
The MK-dent® HS 2012/2014 shares virtually all specifications and design characteristics of the predicate devices. The only major design change refers to the strength of the auto chuck mechanism. By increasing the spring strength, we have created a more reliable version compared to KaVo 625. By increasing the bur retention strength from 6 lbs (as with the predicate device) to 8 lbs. (MK-dent® HS 2012/2014) we have been able to vastly reduce the odds of a bur prematurely ejecting from the handpiece. A few minor changes to the predicate device which do not affect the performance but we feel make the handpiece convenient to use are as follows: Reduction in the weight of the handpiece to 2 oz.. This reduces operator hand fatigue. Softening the knurling on the handle. This allows dirt, blood and salvia to be more easily removed from the body shell of the handpiece, thus allowing better conformity to sterilization procedures. It also provides better tactile sense to the operator while wearing gloves.

No
The description focuses on mechanical improvements and design changes to a dental handpiece, with no mention of AI or ML technology.

No
The device is described as an air-powered dental handpiece for use in general dentistry, which is used for mechanical procedures (like drilling) and not directly for therapy.

No
The device, an air-powered dental handpiece, is used in general dentistry for procedures, not for diagnosing medical conditions. Its description focuses on mechanical improvements and user convenience, not on detecting or identifying diseases or conditions.

No

The device description clearly describes a physical, air-powered dental handpiece with mechanical components (auto chuck mechanism, spring, bur retention). It discusses physical characteristics like weight, knurling, and sterilization, all indicative of a hardware device.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is "an air-powered dental handpiece for use by a trained professional in general dentistry." This describes a tool used directly on a patient for dental procedures, not a device used to examine specimens in vitro (outside the body).
  • Device Description: The description focuses on the mechanical aspects of the handpiece, such as the auto chuck mechanism, bur retention strength, weight, and handle design. These are all related to its function as a surgical/procedural tool.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), reagents, or any process that would be performed in vitro to diagnose a condition.

IVD devices are specifically designed to examine specimens obtained from the human body to provide information for the diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment of a disease or condition. This dental handpiece does not fit that description.

Dear Dr. Günderoth:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies.

This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your Section 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market.
