Intended Use
The SiroTorque L is intended to convert pneumatic output from a dental treatment center to electrical energy for operation of electrically-driven dental handpieces.
Device Description
The SiroTorque L is composed of a supply / control unit, supply hoses, connection cables, a transformer and two alternative electric micromotors. The pneumatic outlet from the dental treatment unit, which would be the supply hose for an air-driven instrument (e.g., a high speed handpiece or an air motor), provides the input to the SiroTorque L supply / control unit. The electronic circuitry within the SiroTorque L converts the air pressure input to an electrical signal, which is output to the supply hose for the handpiece electric micromotor. The handpiece electric micromotor is activated using the footswitch of the existing dental operative unit. As the footswitch is pressed farther down, the pressure of the compressed air supply increases, which in turn increases the rotational speed of the micromotor. The permissible speed range is adjustable by the user from 1,000 to 40,000 rpm, although the highest speeds are only attainable if the compressed air supply has a pressure of at least 3 bars. The minimum and maximum speeds are displayed and can be adjusted using the SiroTorque L control panel. The SiroTorque L also provides the user with the following features: Selection of clockwise and counter-clockwise rotation of the dental handpieces, Variable intensity handpiece light, "Satellite" version: The control panel of the SiroTorque L can be separated from the supply / control unit and mounted so as to be more easily accessible for the user.

No
The device description focuses on the conversion of pneumatic to electrical energy and basic electronic control of a dental handpiece, with no mention of AI/ML algorithms, data processing for learning, or features typically associated with AI/ML in medical devices.

No
The device converts pneumatic energy to electrical energy for dental handpieces; it does not directly treat a disease or condition.

No

The device is described as converting pneumatic output to electrical energy for dental handpieces and controlling their rotation speed, indicating it is an accessory for operative dental procedures rather than for diagnosis.

No

The device description explicitly states it is composed of hardware components including a supply/control unit, hoses, cables, a transformer, and micromotors, and the performance studies include validation testing of both hardware and software functions.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to convert pneumatic output to electrical energy for operating dental handpieces. This is a mechanical/electrical function related to powering a dental tool, not for examining specimens from the human body.
  • Device Description: The description details the components and how it functions to power a dental handpiece. There is no mention of analyzing biological samples or providing diagnostic information.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The document does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
    • Analyzing biological specimens (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
    • Detecting or measuring substances in specimens
    • Providing information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening of diseases or conditions.

The SiroTorque L is a device used in a dental setting to facilitate the operation of dental tools. It does not perform any diagnostic testing on biological samples.
