No
The document describes a combination ultrasonic scaler and air polisher for dental use. There is no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or any data-driven decision-making processes within the device description or performance studies. The device functions are purely mechanical and fluid-based.
Yes
The device is used for "periodontal therapy," "endodontic procedures," and "nonsurgical removal of subgingival plaque," all of which are therapeutic interventions. Additionally, it is tested to medical electrical equipment standards (IEC 60601-1/EN 60601-1), further indicating its classification as a therapeutic device.
No
The device is described as an ultrasonic scaler and air polisher intended for dental cleaning, plaque removal, and other dental procedures, not for identifying or assessing a medical condition.
No
The device description clearly outlines physical components like a scaler, polisher, handpiece, tips/nozzles, hose connections, and an internal air compressor, indicating it is a hardware device with potential software control.
Based on the provided information, the BioSonic Suvi ultrasonic scaler and air polisher is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) device.
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes procedures performed directly on the patient's teeth (supra and subgingival scaling, periodontal therapy, endodontic procedures, cavity preparation, restorative dentistry, cleaning, surface preparation, polishing, plaque removal). IVD devices are used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, tissue) taken from the body to provide information about a person's health.
- Device Description: The description details a device that physically interacts with the teeth using ultrasonic vibrations and air/water/powder projection. This is a therapeutic and procedural device, not a diagnostic one that analyzes biological samples.
- Anatomical Site: The anatomical site is "Teeth," which are treated directly by the device. IVD devices analyze samples originating from various anatomical sites, but the analysis happens outside the body.
In summary, the BioSonic Suvi is a dental device used for direct treatment and procedures on the patient's teeth, which falls outside the definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Intended Use / Indications for Use
The BioSonic Suvi ultrasonic scaler is intended for use in dental applications such as supra and subgingival scaling, periodontal therapy, endodontic procedures, cavity preparation, and restorative dentistry.
The BioSonic Suvi Air Polisher is intended for use in the cleaning, surface preparation and polishing of teeth by the projection of water, air and dental powders onto the tooth surface. The device removes dental plaque, soft deposits, and surface stains from pits, grooves, interproximal spaces or smooth surfaces of teeth. The BioSonic Suvi Air Polisher is also indicated for the nonsurgical removal of subgingival plaque in pockets up to 5 mm after initial periodontal treatment.

Device Description
The BioSonic Suvi Piezoelectric Scaler and Air Polisher (BioSonic Suvi) is a combination scaler and polisher device for use in dental care. It combines the functions of an ultrasonic scaler and dental air polisher into a single device.
The scaler is used for removal of tartar or calculus on teeth and other dental work where ultrasonic vibration is beneficial. The polisher unit is used for removal of plaque, cleaning discolored teeth and other dental work where air polishing is beneficial.
The BioSonic Suvi will be offered in (4) four different models. These are the BioSonic Suvi Premier, BioSonic Suvi Premier Plus, BioSonic Suvi Elite and the BioSonic Suvi Elite Plus. The Premier and Premier Plus are scalers only. The Elite and Elite Plus are combination scaler and polisher units.
The Premier and Plus versions differ in whether they include a standard tap water supply attachment or an optional medicament dispenser system. The standard tap water versions connect directly to a tap water supply using a hose connection. The medicament dispenser system provides either medicine or clean water using a medicament bottle which connects to the side of the unit.
The medicament versions utilize an internal air compressor to pressurize the medicament. During use, compressed air forces fluids from the bottle, through the hose, to the hand piece and the tip/nozzle. Thus medication can be provided if desired.
Scaler:
The scaler includes a power unit and ultrasonic hand piece with scaler tip. A mechanical resonator within the scaler tip vibrates when power is supplied to the hand piece. When held against the tooth, sound waves bounce off the tooth and cause the tartar and plaque to break up. Water coming from the scaler then washes away the broken debris.
Polisher:
The polisher includes a power unit, a water line, an air/powder line and a hand piece nozzle. It functions by spraying pressurized water mixed with a polishing agent onto the surface of the teeth. This mixture washes away residue and plaque while removing stains and neutralizing acidic conditions in the mouth.

Device Function
Scaler:
The scaler includes a power unit and ultrasonic hand piece with scaler tip. A mechanical resonator within the scaler tip vibrates when power is supplied to the hand piece. When held against the tooth, sound waves bounce off the tooth and cause the tartar and plaque to break up. Water coming from the scaler then washes away the broken debris.
Polisher:
The polisher includes a power unit, a water line, an air/powder line and a hand piece nozzle. It functions by spraying pressurized water mixed with a polishing agent onto the surface of the teeth. This mixture washes away residue and plaque while removing stains and neutralizing acidic conditions in the mouth.
Scientific Concepts
Scaler:
The scaler utilizes the scientific concept of piezoelectricity whereby materials, such as piezoelectric crystals, have the ability to generate a voltage when a mechanical force is applied to them. The scaler hand piece contains a mechanical resonator that is coupled to the scaler tip. The resonator is driven by a power electronic unit.
The conversion of the electrical signal to mechanical movement is achieved by a piezoelectric ceramic plate within the hand piece. The resulting movement of the ceramic plate is transferred to a metal resonator which is brought into resonance by selecting the correct frequency. This movement is transferred to the scaler tip causing the outer part of the tip to vibrate.

The polisher incorporates the basic principle of using pressurized air, mixed with water and a polishing agent as a method of cleaning and polishing. This mixture removes extrinsic stains, dental plaque and soft debris while simultaneously polishing tooth surfaces.
