The document describes a programmable electric dental handpiece system with control over torque, speed, and direction. There is no mention of AI or ML in the intended use, device description, or performance studies. The programming appears to be for setting operational parameters, not for learning or adaptive functions.
No
The device is described as an electric handpiece system used by dental professionals for general dental procedures like grinding, drilling, polishing, and endodontic treatment. These procedures involve mechanical action rather than directly delivering or applying a therapeutic substance or energy for treatment.
No
The provided text describes a dental handpiece system used for performing various general dental procedures, such as crown preparation, cavity preparation, finishing, and polishing. Its function is to drive a micromotor for these procedures, not to detect or identify diseases or conditions.
No
The device description explicitly states it is composed of a power supply, control unit, cable, and brushless micromotor, which are all hardware components. While it has a software-controlled touch screen, it is not solely software.
Based on the provided text, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the device is used by trained dental professionals to perform general dental procedures on patients. These procedures involve working directly on the patient's teeth and oral cavity.
- Device Description: The description details a system for driving a dental handpiece for procedures like grinding, trimming, drilling, finishing, and polishing. These are all procedures performed directly on the patient.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: An IVD device is used to examine specimens from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. The provided text does not mention any such use or interaction with bodily specimens.
The device described is a dental instrument used for performing procedures in vivo (on a living organism), not in vitro (in a test tube or laboratory setting).

Intended Use / Indications for Use
The NuTorque Programmable Electric System is used by trained dental professionals to perform general dental procedures including crown preparation, cavity preparation, crown finishing, inlay and the filling, polishing, prophylaxis and endodontic treatment.
The device is a control unit which drives a low voltage dc electric micromotor via a handpiece hose. Power is supplied to the control unit by an ac power supply. The speed of the motor is controlled by the for control of the dental unit. ISO E-type attachments are used to perform the various procedures. The maximum freerunspeed of the micromotor is 40,000 rpm's.

Dear Mr. Braas:
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 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.
