No
The description focuses on a mechanical handpiece for root canal procedures and does not mention any AI or ML components or functionalities.

No
The device is used for shaping and obturation of the root canal, which are procedural steps rather than a direct therapeutic effect on a disease or condition. The device facilitates mechanical preparation but doesn't independently treat or diagnose.

No
The device, "Endo-Express® Handpiece," is indicated for the removal of dentin, shaping, and obturation of the root canal, which are therapeutic and procedural actions, not diagnostic ones.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "reciprocating handpiece" and includes physical components like a handpiece, lubricant bottle, and nozzle attachment. It is a hardware device used in dental procedures.

Based on the provided information, the Endo-Express® Handpiece is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Endo-Express® Handpiece function: The description clearly states its intended use is for the mechanical preparation of root canals within the patient's body. It's a tool used directly on the patient's anatomy during a dental procedure.

Therefore, the Endo-Express® Handpiece falls under the category of a surgical or procedural device, not an IVD.

Dear Mr. Wan:

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. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.
