More Information

Not Found

No
The description focuses on a mechanical handpiece and abrasive strips, with no mention of AI/ML or related concepts like image processing, data analysis, or algorithms.

No
The device is described as achieving interproximal reduction of teeth, being used with abrasive strips for stripping, polishing, or preparation of teeth for orthodontic appliances. These are mechanical functions, not therapeutic.

No

The device is used for interproximal reduction, stripping, polishing, or preparing teeth, which are all therapeutic or preparatory procedures, not diagnostic ones. It does not identify or characterize a disease or condition.

No

The device description explicitly states it includes a "handpiece" with an "air-driven low-speed motor" and "contra-angle integrated with the head," which are hardware components.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for "achieving interproximal reduction of teeth." This is a mechanical procedure performed directly on the patient's teeth.
  • Device Description: The device is a handpiece with a motor and contra-angle used with abrasive strips. This describes a tool for physical manipulation of teeth.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), detecting diseases or conditions, or providing information for diagnosis.

IVD devices are specifically designed to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for the diagnosis, prevention, monitoring, treatment, or alleviation of disease. This device does not fit that description.

TRADE OR PROPRIETARY NAME: Interproximal Reduction System

CLASSIFICATION NAME: Dental Handpiece and Accessories (21 CFR, Part 872.4200)

PREDICATE DEVICES: Synea-LS Low Speed Handpiece (K993526) W&H Air Motor A25 (K944711)

DEVICE DESCRIPTION:

The Interproximal Reduction System handpiece includes an air-driven low-speed motor and a contra-angle integrated with the head. It is used with the abrasive strips for interproximal reduction/stripping, polishing, or preparation of tooth for placement of orthodontic appliances (aligners, brackets, retainers, etc.)

INTENDED USE:

The Interproximal Reduction System is intended for use as a method of achieving interproximal reduction of teeth.

TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS:

All of the components found in the Interproximal Reduction System have been used in legally marketed devices and were found safe for dental use. We believe that the prior use of the components in legally marketed predicate devices and test results support the safety and effectiveness of the Interproximal Reduction System for the indicated uses.

Dear Ms. Lewis:

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.

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 vour device to proceed to the market.
