Device Description

Oral-B® ProfessionalCare/Oral-B® AdvancePower is a rechargeable electric toothbrush comprised of a charging unit and a rechargeable power unit. The rechargeable power unit is inductively charged and therefore electrically safe in accordance with the Second Edition of the standard for Personal Hygiene and Health Care appliances, UL 1431. The Oral-B® ProfessionalCare/Oral-B® AdvancePower electric toothbrush has an oscillating/rotating technology, a small round brush head that aids tooth-to-tooth cleaning. The brush head is designed to facilitate deeper penetration of interdental areas. The action of the brush head has an oscillation range frequency between 63 to 73 Hz with a vibration frequency of 340 Hz (3800 strokes per minute) and an oscillating range angle of 42° to 60° depending on the toothbrush model. The brush head design is a small circular brush head and features an arrangement of flagged bristles and power tips. The power tips have tufts of longer bristles on either side of the brush head in the outer ring. These power tips have a wear indicator function and are colored with the FDA approved colorant FD&C blue No.2. The flagged bristle tufts have tetralocular filaments and are designed to increase the brushing action on tooth surfaces. The bristle material is Polyamid or PA6.12. The toothbrush features a round handle with anti-slip characteristics for better control in wet conditions and offers a variable range of speeds to best meet individual needs. Oral-B® Professional Care™ Series/Oral-B® AdvancePower™ Series products are rechargeable battery operated toothbrushes. The toothbrush handles are inductively charged so there is no electrical connection between the charger and handle. All electrical components are housed within thermoplastic enclosures and the product is provided with a Listed 1flexible supply cord terminating in a parallel blade attachment plug for connection to a nominal 100-120 V, 50-60 Hz supply source.

AI/ML (Artificial Intelligence / Machine Learning)

No
The description focuses on mechanical and electrical components and does not mention any AI or ML capabilities.

Therapeutic

Yes
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" states that the device is for "treating and preventing gingivitis," which is a health condition, thus classifying it as therapeutic.

Diagnostic

No

This device is a toothbrush designed for promoting oral hygiene, plaque removal, and treating/preventing gingivitis. It cleans rather than diagnoses conditions.

SaMD (Software as a Medical Device)

No

The device description clearly details a physical, rechargeable electric toothbrush with various hardware components (charging unit, power unit, brush head, bristles, handle, electrical components, supply cord). It is not solely software.

IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic)

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

Here's why:

• Intended Use: The intended use is "To promote good oral hygiene including plaque removal and treating and preventing gingivitis." This is a direct therapeutic and preventative action on the human body (oral cavity), not a diagnostic test performed on samples taken from the body.
• Device Description: The description details a mechanical device (electric toothbrush) designed for physical cleaning of teeth and gums. It does not describe any components or processes for analyzing biological samples (like blood, urine, saliva, etc.) to diagnose a condition.
• Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
  • Reagents or assays
  • Analysis of biological samples
  • Measurement of biomarkers or analytes
  • Diagnostic interpretation of results

The device is clearly intended for direct use on the patient's oral cavity for hygiene and therapeutic purposes related to gingivitis. This falls under the category of a medical device, but not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

The flagged bristle tufts have tetralocular filaments and are designed to increase the brushing action on tooth surfaces. The bristle material is Polyamid or PA6.12. The toothbrush features a round handle with anti-slip characteristics for better control in wet conditions and offers a variable range of speeds to best meet individual needs.

While power toothbrushes are 510(k) exempt device, we believe the expanded indication for use of treating and preventing gingivitis may exceed the limitation for 510(k) exemption. The expanded indications for use (i.e., treating and preventing gingivitis) are the only changes from the currently marketed devices Oral-B® ProfessionalCare ™Series/Oral-B® AdvancePower™Series. There are no changes to the design, materials or manufacturing process of these devices.

Indications for Use:

To promote good oral hygiene, including plaque removal and treating and preventing gingivitis.

Testing:

Oral-B® ProfessionalCare ™ Series/Oral-B® AdvancePower™ Series powered toothbrushes have been tested in numerous controlled clinical studies. These trials evaluated oral soft and hard tissue for safety, plaque, gingivitis and bleeding. Collectively, these studies demonstrate that the Oral-B® ProfessionalCare™Series/ Oral-B® AdvancePower™Series powered toothbrush is effective at treating and preventing gingivitis.

Quality assurance testing on the Oral-B® ProfessionalCare ™Series/Oral-B® AdvancePower™Series electric toothbrush has been conducted to ensure the integrity of products.

Oral-B® Professional Care™ Series/Oral-B® AdvancePower™ Series products are rechargeable battery operated toothbrushes. The toothbrush handles are inductively charged so there is no electrical connection between the charger and handle. All electrical components are housed within thermoplastic enclosures and the product is provided with a Listed 1flexible supply cord terminating in a parallel blade attachment plug for connection to a nominal 100-120 V, 50-60 Hz supply source.

Oral-B® Professional Care™ Series/Oral-B® AdvancePower™ Series products are evaluated and comply with the applicable requirements to bear the Underwriters Laboratories Inc. Mark (UL 1431).

Conclusions:

The results from these tests support the safety and effectiveness of Oral-B® ProfessionalCare™ Series/Oral-B® AdvancePower™ Series power toothbrush and its substantial equivalence to the predicate device without raising new safety or effectiveness issues.

Dear Ms. Heffernan:

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 your device to proceed to the market.
