Intended Use
Battery driven electrical drive unit with wireless foot controller to perform cleaning and polishing of tooth surfaces and fillings.
Device Description
The “PROXEO Twist Cordless Polishing System PL-40 H” is an electrical drive unit for cleaning and polishing tooth surfaces and fillings by use of Disposable Prophy Angles, so-called "DPAs". The system consists of - the cordless drive handpiece PL-40 H, - the wireless foot controller C-NW, - a handpiece holder, and - a charger inclusive adaptor. Its basic function is the conversion of electrical energy into a mechanical rotary motion. Power is supplied by a Li-ion battery, which is assembled in the drive handpiece and can be recharged by means of the provided charging cable. The battery is not changeable by the user. The device's application is intended in dentistry.
More Information

Not Found

No
The device description focuses on mechanical function and electrical energy conversion, with no mention of AI, ML, or related concepts.

No
The device is used for cleaning and polishing tooth surfaces, which are considered cosmetic and maintenance procedures, rather than treating or preventing a disease or condition.

No

Explanation: The "Intended Use" states that the device is for "cleaning and polishing of tooth surfaces and fillings," which describes a therapeutic or maintenance function, not a diagnostic one.

No

The device description explicitly lists multiple hardware components including a drive handpiece, wireless foot controller, handpiece holder, and charger. It also describes the conversion of electrical energy to mechanical motion and mentions a battery.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is "to perform cleaning and polishing of tooth surfaces and fillings." This is a mechanical action performed directly on the patient's body (specifically, their teeth and fillings).
  • Device Description: The device is described as an "electrical drive unit" that converts electrical energy into mechanical rotary motion. This is consistent with a device used for physical manipulation.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a physiological state, health, or disease. This device does not interact with or analyze such specimens.

The device is clearly intended for a direct dental procedure, not for in vitro diagnostic testing.

Dear Johann Scharl:

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

1

statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); medical device reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803) for devices or postmarketing safety reporting (21 CFR 4, Subpart B) for combination products (see https://www.fda.gov/combination-products/guidance-regulatory-information/postmarketing-safety-reportingcombination-products); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820) for devices or current good manufacturing practices (21 CFR 4, Subpart A) for combination products; and, if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.

Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21 CFR Part 807.97). For questions regarding the reporting of adverse events under the MDR regulation (21 CFR Part 803), please go to https://www.fda.gov/medical-device-safety/medical-device-reportingmdr-how-report-medical-device-problems.

For comprehensive regulatory information about medical devices and radiation-emitting products, including information about labeling regulations, please see Device Advice (https://www.fda.gov/medicaldevices/device-advice-comprehensive-regulatory-assistance) and CDRH Learn (https://www.fda.gov/training-and-continuing-education/cdrh-learn). Additionally, you may contact the Division of Industry and Consumer Education (DICE) to ask a question about a specific regulatory topic.

The differences are restricted to the devices' labelling: the type designations and
the devices' as well as their manufacturers' names are differently indicated on the
products themselves, on their packaging, Instructions for Use, etc.
Seen from the technological point of view, the products are identical.
The above-mentioned differences do not have any negative effect on the
substantial equivalence.
Therefore, the new device is substantially equivalent to the predicate device. | | | |
