Intended Use
Karam STD, Karam Mini, Karam ECN, AeroBreeze STD, and AeroBreeze Mini models are airpowered highspeed dental handpieces with intended use of preparing dental cavities for restorations, such as fillings, reducing hard tooth structure, and cleaning teeth. Karam STD, Karam Mini, AeroBreeze STD, and AeroBreeze Mini can be used with either Type B (Karam 4B) or Type A (Karam 2A) coupling. Karam ECN model connects directly to either Type A or Type B hose connectors and does not require a coupling. Karam45 and Dexor45 are air-powered highspeed dental handpieces with intended use of being a surgical tool for impacted third molar removal and periodontal procedures for which a conventional handpiece would be used. Both models can be used with either Type B (Karam 4B) or Type A (Karam 2A) coupling.
Device Description
The devices are an air-powered dental handpieces intended for use with a friction-grip bur that conforms to ISO 1797-1 standard. Recommended air pressure is 29 ~ 36 psig (gage pressure) to produce high-speed bur rotation ranging between 380,000 and 450,000 RPM. Karam Mini, Karam ECN, AeroBreeze STD, and AeroBreeze Mini models are straight-headed. Karam45 and Dexor45 models are designed with a 45-degree back angle. The devices include a water line that directs water mist/jet to the cutting area for cooling and irrigation. Aerobine line of handpieces employs a cartridge type air turbine with a common core design across the product line. All models employ a friction-grip push button chuck, a drive air line, a discharge air egress line, a water delivery line to supply cooling water. With the exception of Karam ECN, all models can be used with either Karam 4B or Karam 2A coupling. Karam ECN connects directly to Type A or Type B hose connectors without a coupling.
More Information

Not Found

No
The device description focuses on mechanical and pneumatic components and operation, with no mention of AI or ML.

Yes
The device is used for preparing dental cavities, reducing tooth structure, cleaning teeth, and for surgical procedures like impacted third molar removal and periodontal procedures, which are all therapeutic interventions.

No

The device description indicates its intended use is for preparing dental cavities, reducing tooth structure, cleaning teeth, and for surgical procedures like third molar removal and periodontal procedures. These are all therapeutic or preparatory actions, not diagnostic ones.

No

The device description clearly outlines physical components such as air-powered handpieces, couplings, water lines, and a cartridge type air turbine, indicating it is a hardware device.

Based on the provided information, 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, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
  • Device Function: The described devices are air-powered dental handpieces used for mechanical procedures on teeth and surrounding structures (preparing cavities, reducing tooth structure, cleaning, surgical removal of teeth, periodontal procedures). They are tools used on the patient, not for analyzing samples from the patient.
  • Intended Use: The intended uses clearly describe mechanical actions on the teeth and mouth, not diagnostic testing of biological samples.
  • Device Description: The description focuses on the mechanical aspects of the handpiece (air power, bur rotation, water line, chuck type, angles), not on any components or processes related to analyzing biological samples.

Therefore, these dental handpieces fall under the category of surgical or dental instruments, not in vitro diagnostics.
