Intended Use
Dental Handpiece with models of CA160, and CA500L are intended for the removal of carious material, reducing of hard tooth structure, cavity and crown preparations, root canal preparations, removal of fillings, processing and finishing tooth preparations, and restorations for polishing teeth. Dental Handpiece is designed for use by a trained professional in the field of general dentistry.
Device Description
Dental Handpiece with the model CA160, CA160L and CA500L consists of the main body of the handpiece, which is used for transmitting rotational force for the general dental treatments. The torque transmitted from a wired electric micro-motor gets further transmitted to the joint part of Dental Handpiece. The rotational force is then decelerated according to the speed reducer of the gear which is transmitted to the head of the dental handpiece. The rotational force is transmitted under the permitted rotation mechanism. Model CA160, CA160L and CA500L can be connected to spray adapter (accessory component) which is used for channeling water and air for further applications to the dental treatments. The only difference between model CA160 and CA160L is that the CA160L has lighting function.
More Information

Not Found

No
The description focuses on mechanical and electrical components for transmitting rotational force and does not mention any computational or data-driven features indicative of AI/ML. The "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML" section is explicitly marked as "Not Found".

Yes
This device is intended for clinical use by dental professionals to perform various dental treatments, including the removal of carious material and tooth preparation, which are therapeutic interventions.

No

The "Intended Use" section describes the device's function as removing material, preparing teeth, and finishing dental work, which are all therapeutic actions, not diagnostic ones. There is no mention of the device identifying diseases or conditions.

No

The device description explicitly details physical components like a main body, gears, and a joint part, indicating it is a hardware device.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use describes the device as being used for mechanical procedures on teeth (removing material, preparing cavities, etc.). This is a direct intervention on the patient's body.
  • Device Description: The description details a mechanical device that transmits rotational force for dental treatments. It does not mention any components or processes related to analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.) outside of the body.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing samples, detecting biomarkers, or providing diagnostic information based on in vitro testing.

IVD devices are specifically designed to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. This dental handpiece does not fit that description.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

Design verification testing was performed to assess the product, confirming adherence to FDA recognized standards and ISO standards. The tests conducted were:

  • ISO MEM Elution Using L-929 Mouse Fibroblast Cells (GLP)
  • ISO Guinea Pig Maximization Sensitization Test (GLP 2 Extracts)
  • ISO Intracutaneous Irritation Test (GLP 2 Extracts)
  • ISO Materials Mediated Rabbit Pyrogen (GLP)
  • ISO Acute Systemic Injection Test (GLP 2 Extracts)
  • Appearance Test Operation Test
  • Rotational Speed Test
  • Noise Test
  • Spray Test
  • Light Test
  • Serviceable Year/ Shelf-Life Test

Key results: The favorable results of the design verification testing demonstrate the design output of Dental Handpice conform to the applicable, pre-determined design requirements of the Dental Handpiece. The testing results also further demonstrate the proposed Dental Handpiece models are substantially equivate device (K192809), as the proposed and predicate device are subject to the same applicable test standards of design requirements for dental handpiece.

Therefore, the identified differences in terms of the dimensions and outer appearance between the proposed Dental Handpiece models CA160, CA160L, and CA500L and the predicate (K192809) CA100L and CA100R do not raise different questions in safety and effectiveness compared to the predicate device Dental Handpiece (K192809).

VII. DESIGN VERIFICATION & PERFORMANCE DATA

The following design vertification and performance data are provided in support of the conclusive determination that the proposed dental handpiece is substantially equivalent to the predicate device Dental Handpiece (MICRO-NX, K 1192809).

Biocompatibility Testing

The biocompatibility testing conducted for the predicate device (K192809) is applicable to the proposed Dental Handpiece models CA160, CA160L. The proposed Dental Handpiece models CA160, CA160L, and CA500L are additional models to the predicate device Dental Handpiece (K192809). All of the patient-contacting raw materials of the proposed Dental Handpiece models are the predicate device Dental Handpiece (K192809) with no new introduction of patient contacting raw materials for the proposed Dental Handpiece models.

In accordance with ISO 10993-1: 2009, Biological evaluation of medical devices-Part 1: Evaluation and testing within a risk management process, the Dental Handpiece models CA160L, and CA500L is classified as "Externally Communicating Device-Tissue/dentin (Limited contact duration). This is the same classification of the biocompatibility evaluation as the predicate Dental Handpiece (K192809).

The biocompatibility testing of the Dental Handpiece listed below has been conducted in 2019 in order to ensure FDA's latest consensus standards with respect to biocompatibility evaluations are met for the favorable biocompatibility test results drawn in 2019 testing confirms the biocompatibility profile of the Dental Handpiece.

  • Operation Test .
  • Rotational Speed Test ●
  • Noise Test ●
  • Spray Test ●
  • Light Test .
  • Serviceable Year/ Shelf-Life Test ●

The favorable results of the design verification testing demonstrate the design output of Dental Handpice conform to the applicable, pre-determined design requirements of the Dental Handpiece. The testing results also further demonstrate the proposed Dental Handpiece models are substantially equivate device (K192809), as the proposed and predicate device are subject to the same applicable test standards of design requirements for dental handpiece.

Therefore, the identified differences in terms of the dimensions and outer appearance between the proposed Dental Handpiece models CA160, CA160L, and CA500L and the predicate (K192809) CA100L and CA100R do not raise different questions in safety and effectiveness compared to the predicate device Dental Handpiece (K192809).

VIII. CONCLUSIONS

Overall, the proposed device is comparable to the predicate device given the fact that its indications for use are the same, and fundamental technological characteristics are equivalent to those of the predicate device Dental Handpiece (MICRO-NX, K192809). The favorable results of the aforementioned design verfication and performance to the appropriate standards perinent to dental handpieces, and demonstrate that no different questions of safety and effectiveness assessment are being raised compared to the predicate device of Dental Handpiece (MICRO-NX, K192809).
