No
The document describes a disposable dental handpiece and does not mention any AI or ML capabilities.

No.
The device is a dental handpiece used for cutting, shaping, and preparing teeth, which are procedures rather than therapeutic treatments.

No

The device description and intended use state that it is a handpiece used for cutting, shaping, and preparing teeth, which are therapeutic rather than diagnostic actions. There is no mention of it being used to identify or analyze a condition.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "sterile, single patient use, disposable instrument" and a "dental handpiece," indicating it is a physical hardware device.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health. They are used outside of the body.
  • Device Function: The Axenic Dental, Inc. DHP™ is a dental handpiece used directly in the mouth for cutting, shaping, and preparing teeth. It is a surgical/procedural instrument, not a diagnostic test.
  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes its function in dental procedures, not in analyzing biological samples.

Therefore, based on the provided information, the Axenic Dental, Inc. DHP™ is a dental instrument, not an IVD.

Dear Mr. Sobota:

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.

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.
