More Information

No
The description focuses on the mechanical function and sterilization of a dental handpiece, with no mention of AI or ML capabilities.

Yes
The stated "Intended Use" clearly indicates its purpose is for "drilling of teeth in a variety of dental procedures," which is a direct therapeutic action.

No

The device is described as a low-speed handpiece used for drilling teeth, which is a therapeutic or procedural function, not a diagnostic one.

No

The device description clearly states it is a low-speed air motor handpiece, which is a physical hardware device used for drilling teeth. The performance studies also focus on hardware-related aspects like sterilization, cleaning, and material biocompatibility.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is "drilling of teeth in a variety of dental procedures." This describes a physical intervention on the patient's body, not a test performed on a sample taken from the body to diagnose a condition.
  • Device Description: The device is described as a "low speed air motor" used as a "handpiece." This is a tool used directly in a dental procedure.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), detecting analytes, or providing diagnostic information based on laboratory testing. The performance studies focus on sterilization, reprocessing, and mechanical standards for dental handpieces.

IVD devices are specifically designed to be used in vitro (outside the body) to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic purposes. This device is used in vivo (within the body) for a therapeutic or procedural purpose.

Dear Karl Nittinger:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database located at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal
