Intended Use
The 430 Torque High-Speed Handpiece Series are used by trained dental professionals for a variety of procedures including but not limited to caries and amalgam removal, restorative work and crown preparation.
Device Description
The 430 Torque High-Speed Handpiece Series consists of a fiber optic high speed handpiece, marketed as a SWL and a non-fiber optic handpiece, marketed as a SW handpiece. Each is a pneumatically driven hand- held device that is capable of reaching rotational speeds of 350,000 to 450,000 rpms at a recommended air pressure of 38-43 PSI. The series delivers on average up to 20 watts of power providing .269 oz.-in. of stall torque. The handpieces are constructed of stainless steel, including the internal air and water tubes which provide drive air to the turbine assembly and cooling water to the work site. The stainless steel and aluminum air driven turbine assembly provides spin to the bur, and incorporates lubefree ceramic bearings (K905155) and a push button autochuck. The rotor is larger than the rotor of the predicate, yielding a higher cutting torque. The fiber optics in the SWL version of the handpiece are lead-free, multi-core glass rod that transmit light from the fiber optic swivel coupler to the oral cavity. The 430 Torque High-Speed handpiece Series can be assembled to quick disconnect couplers that are ISO Type 3 and ISO Type 2 connections, available as fiber optic or non-fiber optic versions, using a halogen bulb or LED technology. All couplers are autoclavable with the exception of the LED coupler that incorporates the electronics internally.
More Information

No
The device description focuses on mechanical and optical components and does not mention any AI or ML capabilities. The "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML" field is also marked as "Not Found".

No
The device is a high-speed dental handpiece used for mechanical procedures like caries removal and crown preparation, not for treating a disease or condition as a therapeutic device would.

No

This device is a high-speed handpiece used by dental professionals for procedures like caries and amalgam removal, restorative work, and crown preparation, which are therapeutic and restorative, not diagnostic.

No

The device description clearly details a physical, pneumatically driven hand-held device constructed of stainless steel and aluminum, containing internal air and water tubes, a turbine assembly, bearings, and a push button autochuck. It also mentions fiber optics in one version. These are all hardware components, not software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states the device is used by trained dental professionals for procedures within the oral cavity (caries and amalgam removal, restorative work, crown preparation). These are direct interventions on a patient.
  • Device Description: The description details a mechanical, pneumatically driven handpiece used for cutting and shaping dental materials. It does not describe any components or functions related to testing samples in vitro (outside of the living body).
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), reagents, or any process that would fall under the definition of an in vitro diagnostic device.

IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. This dental handpiece does not perform any such function.

The stainless steel and aluminum air driven turbine assembly provides spin to the bur, and incorporates lubefree ceramic bearings (K905155) and a push button autochuck. The rotor is larger than the rotor of the predicate, yielding a higher cutting torque.

The fiber optics in the SWL version of the handpiece are lead-free, multi-core glass rod that transmit light from the fiber optic swivel coupler to the oral cavity.

The 430 Torque High-Speed handpiece Series can be assembled to quick disconnect couplers that are ISO Type 3 and ISO Type 2 connections, available as fiber optic or non-fiber optic versions, using a halogen bulb or LED technology. All couplers are autoclavable with the exception of the LED coupler that incorporates the electronics internally.

The following describes the improvements that have been made to the 430 Series High-Speed Handpiece and 430 SW Non-Fiber Optic Handpieces since the last 510(k) clearances, which have also been incorporated into the 430 Torque High-Speed Handpiece Series:

  1. The fiber-optics used in the SWL version of the handpieces changed from bundled fiber optics to twin-fused solid rod fiber optics.
  2. The finish of the outer housings on the handpieces has been modified to have a dull appearance (satin) through a process called bead blasting. This is an aesthetic change only and does not affect the performance of the handpiece. The finish of the outer housing on the handpieces continues to be available in the glossy finish as cleared on the predicate devices.

  • Bur extraction force ●
  • Use of the same materials ●
  • No lubrication required ●
  • Autoclavable
  • Connect to coupler allow for ease of rotation on tubing ●

The following technological differences exist between the 430 Torque High-Speed Handpiece and the primary predicate:

  • . Free run speed (handpiece speed in RPM with no load applied)
  • Power .
  • Stall torque ●
