No
The device description and intended use focus on the mechanical function of the handpiece and its interaction with air, water, and powder for cleaning teeth. There is no mention of any computational or analytical capabilities that would suggest the use of AI or ML.
Yes
The device is described as being used for the "non-surgical removal of subgingival plaque in pockets up to 4 mm after initial periodontal treatment," which is a therapeutic intervention for periodontal disease.
No
The device is described as a dental handpiece used for cleaning and polishing teeth by projecting a mixture of water, air, and powder, and for removing deposits and preparing teeth for dental procedures. Its intended uses are primarily therapeutic and preparatory, not diagnostic.
No
The device description clearly outlines a physical dental handpiece that connects to a dental operative unit and delivers a mixture of water, air, and powder. This involves hardware components and mechanical action, not just software.
Based on the provided text, this device is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes a device used for the physical cleaning and polishing of teeth and surrounding structures by projecting a mixture of water, air, and powder. This is a mechanical action performed directly on the patient's teeth.
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are devices intended for use in the collection, preparation, and examination of specimens taken from the human body (such as blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information for the diagnosis, treatment, or prevention of disease.
- Lack of Specimen Analysis: The description of the AIR-FLOW handy 3.0 PLUS does not involve the analysis of any biological specimens. It's a tool for direct treatment on the patient.
Therefore, the AIR-FLOW handy 3.0 PLUS is a dental device used for treatment, not an IVD used for diagnostic testing of specimens.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use
The AIR-FLOW handy 3.0 PLUS Dental Handpiece is a dental handpiece intended for use in the cleaning and polishing of teeth by the projection of a mixture of water, air, and EMS prophylaxis powder onto the tooth surface. The device removes soft deposits and areas of discoloration and can be used to prepare teeth for dental procedures such as the placement of composite fillings, porcelain inlays, and laminate veneers. The device can be used to clean implant abutments and to clean teeth prior to treatments such as shade matching, fluoridation, and bleaching. The device can also be used to degrease crowns and bridges prior to placement and clean fixed bands and brackets on orthodontic appliances.
The AIR-FLOW handy 3.0 PLUS is intended for patients suffering from periodontal disease.
The AIR-FLOW handy 3.0 PLUS is indicated for the non-surgical removal of subgingival plaque in pockets up to 4 mm after initial periodontal treatment.

Device Description
The proposed AIR-FLOW handy 3.0 PLUS device is similar in design and materials to the predicates AIR-FLOW handy 3.0 (K132478) and AIR-FLOW handy 3.0 PERIO (K132480). The proposed AIR-FLOW handy 3.0 PLUS device and the predicates connect to a standard turbine connection on a dental operative unit and deliver a mixture of water, air, and prophylaxis powder to a treatment site. The handpiece component of the proposed AIR-FLOW handy 3.0 PLUS (PLUS) is to be commercialized as an additional optional accessory to the predicate AIR-FLOW handy 3.0 PERIO (PERIO) handpiece component. Therefore, the proposed PLUS and the predicate PERIO share the same EMS reference number FT-221#. The purpose for adding this additional PLUS handpiece is so that the patients can have both supragingival treatments and subgingival treatments by the same AIR-FLOW PERIO prophylaxis powder that is previously cleared in AIR-FLOW MASTER (K082791) and thus create more convenience for the users. There are no changes to the powder in this submission.
The AIR-FLOW handy 3.0 (STANDARD) and the proposed device, AIR-FLOW handy 3.0 PLUS (PLUS) handpieces, have the same air and water ports to enable supragingival use.
The difference between the proposed PLUS and the predicate PERIO is the handpiece, which has the same body, powder chamber and handpiece body with the only difference being the nozzle. The geometric shape of the integrated nozzle of the PLUS handpiece is relatively thin and slim which enables the supragingival use and the subgingival use in pockets up to 4 mm after initial periodontal treatment. The integrated nozzle of PLUS handpiece has no direct contact with the subgingival shallow pocket. The separate slim nozzle of PERIO that has direct contract with the subgingival pocket enables the subgingival use in pockets up to 5mm after initial periodontal treatment.
The PLUS handpiece should not be used with the STANDARD powder chamber. To prevent this, a different connector is used so that it can only be used with the PERIO powder and PERIO powder chamber. The PLUS handpiece uses the same PERIO polishing powder as the PERIO handpiece.
The proposed AIR-FLOW handy 3.0 PLUS device is therefore substantially equivalent to the previously FDA-cleared AIR-FLOW handy 3.0 PERIO (K132480) and AIR-FLOW handy 3.0 (K132478).

The differences between the AIR-FLOW handy 3.0 PLUS (PLUS) and AIR-FLOW handy 3.0 PERIO (PERIO) and the AIR-FLOW handy 3.0 (STANDARD) are as follows:
- The PLUS handpiece component goes on the same already approved body as the PERIO
- The PLUS handpiece and body use the same components as the PERIO ones ●
- The PLUS devices uses the same AIR-FLOW prophylaxis powder as the PERIO ● one
- The PLUS handpiece component combines the clinical indications of the PERIO with the removable nozzle and the STANDARD handpieces to enable supragingival and subgingival use, but with a connector to ensure that it can only be used with the PERIO body, and not with the STANDARD body
- The PLUS handpiece does not have a disposable nozzle, unlike the PERIO
- The geometric shape of the integrated nozzle of PLUS handpiece is relatively ● thin and slim which enables the supragingival use and the subgingival use in pockets up to 4 mm after initial periodontal treatment. The separate slim nozzle

of PERIO enables the subgingival use in pockets up to 5mm after initial periodontal treatment.
- Powder and water outlets are identical to the STANDARD to enable ● supragingival use.
Testing has demonstrated that the proposed AIR-FLOW handy 3.0 PLUS fulfills the prospectively defined performance specifications. The similarities in intended use, operational characteristics, and technological characteristics lead to a conclusion of substantial equivalence between the proposed and predicate devices. Side-by-side comparisons of the predicate devices and the proposed device are provided in Tables 1, 2, and 3 at the end of this section.

12. CONCLUSIONS DRAWN FROM NON-CLINICAL AND CLINICAL TESTS
Based on the information and supporting documentation provided in the premarket notification, the AIR-FLOW handy 3.0 PLUS is substantially equivalent to the cited predicate devices. . The operational characteristics and overall design of the proposed A/R-FLOW handy 3.0 PLUS are identical to those of the predicate AIR-FLOW handy 3.0 and AIR-FLOW handy 3.0 PERIO. A comparison of the intended use, principles of operation, and technological characteristics of the proposed and predicate devices support the indications for use for the proposed PLUS device. This AIR-FLOW handy 3.0 PLUS device combine the capabilities of the AIR-FLOW handy 3.0 and the AIR-FLOW handy 3.0 PERIO to enable supragingival and subgingival use.
