Intended Use
The AIR-FLOW handy 3.0 PERIO is intended for patients suffering from periodontal disease. The AIR-FLOW handy 3.0 PERIO is indicated for the non-surgical removal of subgingival plaque in pockets up to 5 mm after initial periodontal treatment.
Device Description
The proposed AIR-FLOW handy 3.0 PERIO is a modification of the AIR-FLOW handy PERIO Dental Handpiece previously cleared under K092289. This device modification has been submitted as a Special 510(k) Premarket Notification because the indications for use for the proposed AIR-FLOW handy 3.0 PERIO are identical to the parent AIR-FLOW handy PERIO. The fundamental technology and design of the proposed AIR-FLOW handy 3.0 PERIO are essentially identical to the AIR-FLOW handy PERIO dental handpiece. Both the proposed AIR-FLOW handy 3.0 PERIO and the predicate AIR-FLOW handy PERIO connect to a standard turbine connection on a dental operative unit and deliver a mixture of water, air, and dental powder to a treatment site. Modifications made to the AIR-FLOW handy PERIO Dental Handpiece to produce the AIR-FLOW handy 3.0 PERIO were limited to minor design changes to enhance the ergonomics of the design, including: - Location of the powder chamber is modified to improve the visibility of the mouth of the patient by the practitioner during the treatment - Slimmer shape of the powder chamber to be in-line with the body of the device to improve the visibility of the mouth of the patient by the practitioner during the treatment. - Diameter of the powder chamber cap is reduced to be in-line with new design of the powder chamber. - The powder chamber capacity has been slightly decreased to 21g from 23g to fit new ergonomic design. - The body of the AIR-FLOW handy 3.0 PERIO is made of 2 glued molded parts instead of 1 molded part - The handpiece is shorter and slimmer to improve ergonomics. Accessories were included to aid in filling the powder chamber and removing residual powder from the handpiece channels.
More Information

No
The device description focuses on mechanical and ergonomic modifications to a dental handpiece, with no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate AI/ML.

Yes
The device is intended for the non-surgical removal of subgingival plaque in patients with periodontal disease, which is a therapeutic intervention aimed at treating a medical condition.

No

Explanation: The device is described as being indicated for the "non-surgical removal of subgingival plaque" and delivers a mixture used for treatment. There is no mention of it being used to diagnose conditions or gather diagnostic information.

No

The device description clearly indicates it is a physical dental handpiece that connects to a dental operative unit and delivers a mixture of water, air, and powder. It describes hardware modifications and functional verification of hardware.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
  • Device Function: The AIR-FLOW handy 3.0 PERIO is a dental handpiece that physically removes subgingival plaque using a mixture of water, air, and powder. It is a therapeutic device used directly on the patient's mouth.
  • Lack of Sample Analysis: The device does not analyze any biological samples taken from the patient. It is a tool for a physical procedure.

Therefore, the AIR-FLOW handy 3.0 PERIO falls under the category of a medical device used for treatment, not an in vitro diagnostic device used for diagnosis based on sample analysis.
