The document describes a software-driven dental control unit that monitors power consumption for safety features. There is no mention of AI, ML, or related concepts like training data, test data, or complex algorithms typically associated with AI/ML. The software functions described are standard control and monitoring tasks.

No.
The device's intended use is to convert pneumatic output to electrical energy to drive a motor for dental handpieces, and it includes features to control and monitor the operation of these handpieces, not to directly treat a disease or condition. While it has a safety feature (SAFEdrive) to prevent burns, its primary function is an operational control unit for dental tools.

No

The device is described as a dental control unit and an electrical motor that drive dental handpieces for treatment, not for diagnosis. While it monitors power consumption to prevent overheating, this is a safety feature for the treatment device, not a diagnostic function for the patient.

No

The device description clearly states that the system consists of a base unit with a motor hose, an electrical motor, a transformer, and a power cord, in addition to the software. While the software is a key component, it is part of a larger hardware system.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to convert pneumatic output to electrical energy to drive a dental motor for operating dental handpieces. This is a mechanical/electrical function for performing dental procedures on a patient.
  • Device Description: The description details a control unit, motor, and associated components for powering and controlling dental handpieces. It focuses on speed control, power consumption monitoring, and safety features related to overheating.
  • 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. This device does not interact with or analyze any biological specimens.

The device is clearly intended for use in a dental setting for performing procedures directly on a patient's teeth and mouth, which falls outside the scope of in vitro diagnostics.

Substantial Equivalence:

The ELECTROtorque TLC 4893 dental control unit is substantially equivalent to other legally marketed devices in the United States. The ELECTROtorque TLC 4893 functions in a manner similar to and is intended for the same use as the COMFORTtronic 4894 marketed by Kaltenbach & Voigt, the Optima MX marketed by Bien Air, and to the Sirotorque L marketed by Sirona Dental Systems.

The ELECTROtorque TLC 4893 is similar to all three predicate devices in that it is a softwaredriven dental control unit consisting of a base unit with a motor hose, an electrical motor, a transformer, and a power cord. As the other three predicate devices, it is integrated in a dental treatment center and it uses the same water system and the same power supply. The software in the ELECTROtorque TLC 4893 device as well as the software of the three predicate devices control the following features: (1) Motor control, (2) Motor start / stop behavior, (3) Motor speed, (4) Motor performance, (5) Measuring power consumption, and (6) Monitoring power consumption. The ELECTROtorque TLC 4893 differs from all three predicate devices in that the ELECTROrorque TLC 4893 software has an added software function called SAFEdrive. This SAFEdrive function monitors the power consumption to reduce the probability or severity of overheating of electrical handpieces, thus minimizing the risk of burns to the patient.

The INTRAmatic KL 702 motor is substantially equivalent to other legally marketed devices in the United States. The INTRAmatic KL 702 functions in a manner similar to and is intended for the same use as the COMFORTdrive 200XDA marketed by Kaltenbach & Voigt, the Mikromotor MX marketed by Bien Air, and to the motor BL ISO marketed by Sirona Dental Systems.
