More Information

No
The document describes a physical dental device combining ultrasonic scaling and air-polishing functions. There is no mention of software, algorithms, data processing, or any terms related to AI/ML. The testing described focuses on compliance with physical and electrical safety standards.

Yes
The device is described as an ultrasonic scaler and air-polishing unit intended for various dental and periodontal applications, including removing calculus, cleaning teeth, root planing, and non-surgical removal of subgingival plaque, all of which are considered therapeutic procedures.

No

The device is described as an ultrasonic scaler and air-polishing unit intended for removing calculus, stains, plaque, and for various dental preparation and cleaning procedures. Its functions are therapeutic and restorative, not diagnostic.

No

The device description clearly outlines physical hardware components including a base control unit, hoses, handpieces, a foot control, and containers.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices intended to perform tests on specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Device Function: The AIR-FLOW MASTER PIEZON is a dental device used for physical procedures within the mouth, such as scaling, root planing, cleaning, and polishing teeth. It directly interacts with the patient's teeth and gums.
  • Lack of Specimen Testing: The description does not mention the device being used to analyze any biological specimens taken from the patient. Its function is mechanical and involves the application of water, air, and powders to the tooth surface.

Therefore, the intended use and description clearly indicate that this device is a therapeutic and procedural dental device, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

6. PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION

The proposed AIR-FLOW MASTER PIEZON combines the functions of an ultrasonic scaler and air-polishing unit within a single chassis to provide a complete prophylaxis solution. The working instrument for both the scaling and air-polishing functions is the handpiece, which is connected to the control unit via a power cord.

The AIR-FLOW MASTER PIEZON is configured with the scaling handpiece mounted in a holder on the left side of the control unit, and the air-polishing handpiece mounted on the right side of the control unit. The treatment method (Piezon ultrasonic scaling or Air-Flow air-polishing) is selected by removing the handpiece associated with the treatment method of interest from the holder.

3

As with other ultrasonic scalers, the ultrasonic generator housed in the AIR-FLOW MASTER PIEZON control unit generates piezo-electric vibrations. Instruments mounted in the Piezon Handpiece LED vibrate with a controlled oscillatory movement when activated.

Air-polishing procedures are carried out by placing the nozzle at the end of the handpiece at the treatment site and activating the handpiece. As with the ultrasonic scaling functions, the footswitch activates the flow of the air/water/powder mixture. When the footswitch is released, the air/water/powder flow stops immediately. The practitioner controls the air-polishing treatment using the touch panels on the control panel and the footswitch to regulate the air/powder flow rate and the flow rate of the water into the handpiece.

7. SUMMARY OF TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS COMPARED TO THE PREDICATE DEVICES

The proposed EMS AIR-FLOW MASTER PIEZON is substantially equivalent to the previously cleared AIR-FLOW S2, which also combines ultrasonic scaling and airpolishing functions in a single chassis. The design and function of the ultrasonic scaling and air-polishing functional units of the proposed AIR-FLOW MASTER PIEZON are substantially equivalent to the PIEZON MASTER 700 ultrasonic scaler and the AIR-FLOW MASTER and AIR-FLOW MASTER STANDARD airpolishing units. Differences between the proposed AIR-FLOW MASTER PIEZON and the predicate PIEZON MASTER 700 ultrasonic scaler and AIR-FLOW MASTER and AIR-FLOW MASTER STANDARD air-polishing units are limited to those hardware and firmware modifications necessary to integrate these functionalities into a single chassis.

Testing demonstrated that the AIR-FLOW MASTER PIEZON fulfills the prospectively defined performance specifications. The similarities in intended use, operational characteristics, and functional technological characteristics between the proposed AIR-FLOW MASTER PIEZON and the predicate AIR-FLOW S2, PIEZON MASTER 700, AIR-FLOW MASTER, and AIR-FLOW MASTER STANDARD lead to a conclusion of substantial equivalence between the proposed and predicate devices. A side-by-side comparison of the predicate devices and the proposed device is provided in Table 5-1 at the end of this section.

8. SUMMARY OF NON-CLINICAL PERFORMANCE TESTING AS BASIS FOR SUBSTANTIAL EQUIVALENCE

Testing was performed to verify compliance of the AIR-FLOW MASTER PIEZON with the following standards:

4

  • ANSI/AAMI ST79:2006, "Comprehensive guide to steam sterilization and . sterility assurance in health care facilities" '
  • ISO 17664 (2004), "Sterilization of Medical Devices Information to be . provided by the Manufacturer for the Processing of Resterilizable Medical Devices"
