This device is designed for use by a trained professional in the field of general dentistry.
Substantial Equivalence:
The ELECTROmatic function in a manner similar to and is intended for the same use as the ELECTROtorque TLC 4893 with INTRAmatic KL 702 (K103027) marketed by Kaltenbach & Voigt GmbH. The ELECTROmatic is similar to the predicate device (K103027) in that it is a software driven dental control unit consisting of a base unit with a motor hose, an electrical motor, a transformer and a power cord. Both the ELECTROmatic and the ELECTROtorque TLC 4893 with INTRAmatic KL 702 (K103027) have a motor connection for dental handpieces which are equipped with a handpiece connection according to ISO 3964 (Dentistry - Coupling dimensions for handpiece connectors - ISO 3964:1982) and they are intended to be used by a trained professional in the field of general dentistry. The ELECTROmatic is substantially equivalent in design, technological characteristics, application and function to the predicate device (K103027). Both the ELECTROtorque TLC 4893 with INTRAmatic KL 702 (K103027) and the ELECTROmatic have the same principle of operation and the devices can be attached to a dental treatment unit using the same water and air system. The software in the ELECTROmatic as well as the software in the ELECTROtorque TLC 4893 with INTRAmatic KL 702 (K103027) control the following features: (1) Motor control, (2) Motor start / stop behavior, (3) Motor speed, (4) Motor performance, (5) Measuring power consumption, (6) Monitoring power consumption, and (7) SAFEdrive.
The ELECTROmatic differs from the ELECTROtorque TLC 4893 with INTRAmatic KL 702 (K103027) in that they have different technological characteristics (motor / motor tubings, user interface, display and media). These differences are shown in the table below (Summary of the Technological Characteristics). The ELECTROmatic can also be equipped with the COMFORTdrive motor handpiece and the motor tubings can be removed via a quick connector. A TFT / touch display can be selected for the ELECTROmatic. An integrated valve unit supports the two tubings models with media (air, spray air, spray water).
The performance tests demonstrate that the differences in technological characteristics do not raise different concerns reqarding substantial equivalence to the predicate device. Hence, the ELECTROmatic is substantial equivalent to the ELECTROtorque TLC 4893 with INTRAmatic KL 702 (K103027) marketed by Kaltenbach & Voigt GmbH.
In summary, the ELECTROmatic indications for use described in this submission is substantially equivalent to the ELECTROtorque TLC 4893 with INTRAmatic KL 702 cleared under K103027.
