Device Description

Ax's Endo® handpieces are intended to hold burs or other tools and to transmit power to these via a motor.

AI/ML Overview

This is an FDA 510(k) clearance letter for the Ax's Endo® dental handpiece. This document is a regulatory approval, not a scientific study report. Therefore, it does not contain information regarding acceptance criteria for a device's performance based on a study, nor does it describe a study proving the device meets particular criteria.

The letter states that the device is "substantially equivalent" to legally marketed predicate devices, which is the basis for 510(k) clearance. This means the FDA found that the new device is as safe and effective as a legally marketed device that is not subject to PMA.

Therefore, I cannot fulfill your request for the specific points about acceptance criteria and a study from the provided document.
