Scorpion ultrasonic scaling inserts are used by dental professionals during dental cleaning procedures to remove supragingival calculus deposits from the teeth.
Device Description
The Scorpion ultrasonic scaling inserts are used by dental professionals during dental cleaning procedures to remove supragingival calculus deposits from teeth by application viennia. vienning. Scorpion manufactures several kinds of ultrasonic scaling inserts adaptable on different vitrasonic scalers. This notification concerns two inserts adaptable on piezo-electric scalers as follows: - BSA scaling insert, adaptable on SATELEC scalers handpieces. - BEM scaling insert, adaptable on EMS scalers handpieces. The Scorpion ultrasonic inserts have essentially the same internal design as the predicate devices.
More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes a mechanical device (ultrasonic scaling inserts) and makes no mention of AI, ML, or related concepts.

Yes
The device is used for a medical purpose (dental cleaning procedures to remove calculus deposits) and is indicated for use by dental professionals to treat an anatomical site (teeth).

No
The device is described as an ultrasonic scaling insert used to remove calculus deposits, a cleaning procedure, not a diagnostic one.

No

The device description clearly states it is an "ultrasonic scaling insert," which is a physical hardware component used in dental procedures.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to "remove supragingival calculus deposits from the teeth" during dental cleaning procedures. This is a mechanical action performed directly on the patient's teeth.
  • Device Description: The description reinforces the mechanical nature of the device, stating it removes deposits by "application viennia. vienning." (likely a typo for vibration or similar). It's an accessory for ultrasonic scalers, which are also mechanical devices.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Purpose: There is no mention of the device being used to diagnose a condition, analyze a sample from the body (like blood, urine, or tissue), or provide information about a patient's health status based on in vitro testing.

IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. This device does not fit that description.

Trade/Device Name: Scorpion Ultrasonic Scaling Inserts Regulation Number: 21 CFR 872.4850 Regulation Name: Ultrasonic Scaler Regulatory Class: II Product Code: ELC Dated: June 23, 2006 Received: July 12, 2006

Dear Mr. Kamm:

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.
