Intended Use

The COMFORTdrive 200XDA Handpieces are intended for the removal of carious material, cavities and crown preparations, removal of fillings, and processing of tooth and restoration surfaces. They are designed for use by a trained professional in the field of general dentistry.

The COMFORTironic 4894 is intended to convert pneumatic output from a dental treatment center to electrical energy for operation of electrically-driven dental handpieces. They are designed for use by a trained professional in the field of general dentistry.

Device Description

The COMFORTarive 200XDA Handpieces are dental instruments for use by a trained professional in general dentistry. The handpieces are powered by an integrated electric motor. The devices are re-usable and ergonomically shaped, and can be sterilized by the steam autoclave method.

The COMFORTtronic 4894 dental control unit is a stand-alone system for operating electrically-driven handpieces such as the COMFORTdrive 200XDA. External power supply provides electric power to the unit. The 4-hole tubing connected to the unit supplies chip/cooling air, water and pressure signal. The speed of the electric handpiece is controlled by air pressure. The control unit is positioned close to a treatment unit at the location preferred by the dentist.

AI/ML Overview

The provided documents are 510(k) summaries for two dental devices: the COMFORTdrive 200XDA Handpieces and the COMFORTtronic 4894. These are submissions to the FDA to demonstrate substantial equivalence to existing legally marketed devices, rather than studies designed to prove a device meets specific acceptance criteria through performance metrics.

Therefore, the requested information regarding acceptance criteria, device performance, sample sizes, ground truth, experts, adjudication methods, MRMC studies, or standalone algorithm performance cannot be extracted from these documents.

The documents focus on:

  • Device Name: COMFORTdrive 200XDA Handpieces and COMFORTtronic 4894
  • Common Name: Dental Handpiece and Accessories, Operative Dental Unit
  • Classification Name: Handpiece, AC-Powered, Dental (21 CFR § 872.4200); Operative Dental Unit and Accessories (21 CFR § 872.6640)
  • Intended Use:
    • COMFORTdrive 200XDA Handpieces: For removal of carious material, cavities and crown preparations, removal of fillings, and processing of tooth and restoration surfaces by a trained professional in general dentistry.
    • COMFORTtronic 4894: To convert pneumatic output from a dental treatment center to electrical energy for operation of electrically-driven dental handpieces by a trained professional in general dentistry.
  • Predicate Devices:
    • COMFORTdrive 200XDA Handpieces: A-dec/W&H, Synea Air-Driven Highspeed Handpieces (K070663)
    • COMFORTtronic 4894: Bien Air., Optima MX (K042759) and Sirona Dental Systems GmbH. Sirotorque L (K031584)
  • Substantial Equivalence: Asserted based on identical intended use and similar design, application, function, and technical characteristics to the predicate devices.

There is no data presented in these 510(k) summaries that describes: performance metrics, acceptance criteria, study sizes, ground truth establishment, expert involvement, or any form of comparative effectiveness study. These types of details are typically found in more extensive technical reports or clinical study summaries, which are not part of the provided 510(k) summary text.

Dear Ms. Ortiz:

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.

Page 2 - Ms. Ortiz

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).
