Intended Use
The TF Rotary Nickel Titanium File is a rotary endodontic file designed for use in root canal preparation.
Device Description
The TF Rotary Nickel Titanium File is an engine (rotary) driven endodontic file intended for use in root canal preparation. The TF Rotary Nickel Titanium File is made from a single bar stock of nickel titanium that is machined and formed to create a single-piece file (handle, shaft and working portion). Flutes are ground throughout the working portion, forming the cutting edges of the instrument and creating a tapered triangular cross-section. The file blank is heat annealed and the working portion is twisted to form helical cutting edges. The file is twisted instead of ground which enhances its flexibility and durability. The TF Rotary Nickel Titanium File has a non-cuttting (passive) tip and variable helical flute angle. The single-piece unit is intended to prevent separation of the handle from the shaft/working portion.

Not Found

No
The description focuses on the mechanical properties and manufacturing process of a physical endodontic file, with no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing.

No
The device is described as an endodontic file used for root canal preparation, which is a surgical procedure to remove infected tissue and shape the canal, not to treat or cure a disease itself.

No
The device is described as an endodontic file used for root canal preparation, which is a therapeutic procedure, not a diagnostic one. It is a tool for treatment rather than for identifying a condition.

No

The device description clearly states it is a physical, engine-driven endodontic file made of nickel titanium, which is a hardware component.

No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body (like blood, urine, or tissue) to detect diseases, conditions, or infections. They are used to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Device Description: The TF Rotary Nickel Titanium File is a physical instrument used within the body (specifically, in the root canal) for a mechanical procedure (root canal preparation). It does not analyze samples or provide diagnostic information based on biological markers.

The description clearly indicates it's a tool for a surgical/dental procedure, not a diagnostic test.

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 vour 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.
