The description focuses on the mechanical operation of an air scaler and does not mention any AI/ML components or functionalities.
Yes
The device is used for the removal of dental calculus, plaque, or stain, which directly contribute to dental treatment and oral health improvement, fitting the definition of a therapeutic device.
No
Explanation: The device is an air scaler used for removing dental calculus, plaque, and stain. Its function is to clean, not to diagnose conditions.
No
The device description explicitly states it is an "air scaler" made in the shape of a "handpiece" and activated by "compressed air," indicating it is a physical hardware device.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health.
- Device Function: The description clearly states that the SSS is an air scaler used to physically remove dental calculus, plaque, and stain from the surface of teeth and roots. It operates mechanically using compressed air to vibrate a scaling tip.
- Lack of Sample Analysis: There is no mention of the device analyzing any biological samples or providing diagnostic information based on such analysis. Its function is purely mechanical removal.
Therefore, the SSS falls under the category of a dental device used for treatment, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

Device Description
As with its predicate device, SSS is an air scaler for use by dental professionals. The basic design of the predicate and modified devices are same: both are made in the shape of handpiece like dental turbines, used on a dental treatment unit and activated by compressed air delivered from the dental unit. The common operation principle to the predicate is used in the modified device: When the compressed air runs into scaler's built-in vibratory cartridge, it generates elliptical movement of the scaling tip mounted. The scaling tip movement removes dental calculus, plaque or stain from teeth.

6.5 Indications for Use
SSS is intended for the applications below in the area of dental treatment by dental professionals.
· Removal of dental calculus, plaque or stain
6.6 Description of Modification
The running noise of SSS is substantially reduced by applying vibration frequency of 16.000 to 17.000 Hz for increased comfort of the user and patient, while the predicate device has frequency of 5,000 to 6,000 Hz and emits audible noise. The vibration cartridge is redesigned so that the user can easily replace in his / her dental office.

6.8 Summary of Design Control Activities
The risk analysis method to assess the impact of the modifications was based on a Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA).
This analysis built upon the risk analysis of the predicate device.
6.9 Substantial Equivalence Conclusion
The modified air scaler SSS has the following commonalities to its predicate device:
- · the equivalent indication of use,
- · the same operating principle applied,
- · the same basic product design,
- · conformity to the same and similar standards
Thus we believe the Micron SSS described in this submission has the substantial equivalence to the predicate device, submitter's VIP 60 air scaler.
