The Prophy Star 3 Hygiene Handpiece is a low speed, pneumatically driven, hand-held device intended for use by trained dental professionals for performing dental prophylaxis.
The prophy handpiece is used by trained dental professionals to perform dental prophylaxis.

Device Description

The Prophy Star 3 Hygiene Handpiece is a low speed, pneumatically driven, hand-held device intended for use by trained dental professionals for performing dental prophylaxis. The handpiece uses either an ISO standard Doriot style reusable Prophy angle or a ISO standard Doriot style disposable angle. The Prophy Star 3 Hygiene Handpiece is a Lube Free handpiece requiring no lubrication.

AI/ML Overview

The provided text describes a 510(k) premarket notification for a dental handpiece, the Prophy Star 3 Hygiene Handpiece. It focuses on establishing substantial equivalence to a predicate device based on intended use, technology, and design.

However, the document does not contain information related to acceptance criteria, a specific study proving device performance against acceptance criteria, or any of the detailed aspects of a clinical or performance study as requested in the input.

Therefore, I cannot provide the requested table and detailed information about acceptance criteria and study particulars for the Prophy Star 3 Hygiene Handpiece based on the given text.

The document is a regulatory approval letter from the FDA (June 15, 2007) and a 510(k) summary (May 21, 2007). These types of documents typically attest to substantial equivalence based on comparisons to existing devices and adherence to general safety and performance standards, rather than presenting detailed multi-reader multi-case studies or standalone algorithm performance data.

Here's what I can infer from the available information, but it does not address the specific questions about acceptance criteria or a dedicated performance study:

  • Device: Prophy Star 3 Hygiene Handpiece
  • Intended Use: For use by trained dental professionals for performing dental prophylaxis.
  • Predicate Device: StarDental Prophy Star II Hygiene Handpiece Micro Motors PHP 100 Prophy Handpiece (K896877)
  • Basis for Substantial Equivalence: Same intended use, similar technology and design, same means of operation, and used for the same procedures. Improvements were made to enhance handpiece performance while maintaining safety. This implies that the new device is expected to perform at least as well as the predicate device.

Without a performance study or clinical trial section in the provided text, I cannot answer the specific quantitative questions.

Dear Mr. Guscott:

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.

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.

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.

If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801), please contact the Office of Compliance at (240) 276-0115. Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21CFR Part 807.97).
