Intended Use
The Prophy-Mate Neo device is intended for use in dental applications to remove stains and plaque deposits from the teeth by shooting a mixture of sodium bicarbonate powders or calcium carbonate powders, air, and water onto tooth surfaces. The Prophy-Mate neo can also be used in dental applications to prepare surface prior to bonding and to prepare for pit and fissure sealant.
Device Description
The Prophy-Mate neo is an air-powered tooth polishing system. The product expels a mixture of powders (sodium bicarbonate or calcium carbonate), water, and air onto the surfaces of the tooth. The Prophy-Mate neo consists of the Powder case, Handpiece, with a 60° and 80° Nozzle attachment.
More Information

Not Defined

No
The description details a mechanical device for tooth polishing and does not mention any computational or data-driven features indicative of AI/ML.

No
The device is used for cleaning and preparing tooth surfaces for bonding and sealants, which are considered dental procedures, not therapeutic interventions aimed at curing, treating, or preventing disease.

No

The device is used to remove stains and plaque, prepare surfaces for bonding, and prepare for pit and fissure sealant. These are all treatment or preparation functions, not diagnostic ones.

No

The device description clearly states it is an "air-powered tooth polishing system" consisting of physical components like a powder case, handpiece, and nozzles, indicating it is a hardware device.

Based on the provided information, the Prophy-Mate Neo device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to remove stains and plaque from teeth, prepare surfaces for bonding, and prepare for pit and fissure sealants. These are all procedures performed directly on the patient's teeth, not on samples taken from the body.
  • Device Description: The device description details a system that expels a mixture of powders, water, and air onto tooth surfaces. This is a physical action performed externally on the patient.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), detecting biomarkers, or providing diagnostic information based on in vitro analysis.

IVD devices are specifically designed to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for the diagnosis, prevention, monitoring, treatment, or alleviation of disease. The Prophy-Mate Neo's function is purely mechanical and external to the body.

| Device Description: | The Prophy-Mate neo is an air-powered tooth polishing system. The product expels
a mixture of powders (sodium bicarbonate or calcium carbonate), water, and air
onto the surfaces of the tooth. The Prophy-Mate neo consists of the Powder case,
Handpiece, with a 60° and 80° Nozzle attachment. |
| Statement of
Intended Use: | The Prophy-Mate Neo device is intended for use in dental applications to remove
stains and plaque deposits from the teeth by shooting a mixture of sodium
bicarbonate powders or calcium carbonate powders, air, and water onto tooth
surfaces.
Sodium bicarbonate should not be used on patients on a saltless diet, with a renal deficiency, with a chronic respiratory disease, or with chronic diarrhea.
The Prophy-Mate neo can also be used in dental applications to prepare surface
prior to bonding and to prepare for pit and fissure sealant. |
| Summary of
Technological
Characteristics: | The 360° twist free swivel joint at the handpiece end and the hose end of the
powder case enables smooth operation even under high air pressure. The handpiece
swivels so easily that access to hard to reach areas becomes effortless. The
Prophy-Mate neo is designed to minimize stain and fatigue even during prolonged operation
The choice of nozzle between 60° and 80° enables easy reach of all tooth surfaces and unobstructed vision. |
