The description focuses on programmable motor control, user interface (tablet and voice commands), and standard dental procedures. There is no mention of AI/ML terms, image processing, or data analysis that would suggest AI/ML is incorporated. The voice command functionality appears to be a limited set, not indicative of complex natural language processing typically associated with AI.
No
The device is described as an air-to-electric dental unit for use in dental restoration and prophylaxis procedures, controlling a motor to drive dental handpieces. Its function is to facilitate dental procedures rather than to directly treat a disease or condition.
No
The device description states it is an "air-to-electric dental unit for use in dental restoration and prophylaxis procedures" and is designed to "control the motor to drive ISO 3964 compatible contra angle and straight dental handpieces." This indicates it is a treatment device used for performing procedures like drilling or polishing, not for diagnosing conditions.
No
The device description clearly outlines multiple hardware components including a power supply, control unit, user display tablet, hose, brushless motor, and pneumatic footswitch. While it includes software on the tablet, it is an integral part of a larger hardware system.
No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information about a person's health.
- Device Function: The description clearly states that this device is an "air-to-electric dental unit" used for "dental restoration and prophylaxis procedures." It controls a motor to drive dental handpieces.
- Intended Use: The intended use is for "general dentistry and restorative dentists and dental professionals in a dental office," focusing on procedures performed directly on the patient's teeth and mouth.
The device's function and intended use are entirely focused on performing physical procedures within the mouth, not on analyzing biological samples outside the body.

Dear Bruce Holderbein:
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.

Device Technological Characteristics
807.92(a)(6)
The Lares Research Perceptive electric motor and control unit and the predicate device include a power supply, control unit, hose, motor. The Perceptive unit also has an electronic tablet user interface taking the place of the manual control knob and switch used on the predicate device.
Power supply
Both units use a universal input voltage medical grade power supply to isolate the mains voltage from the user and patient and provide 32 VDC to the console. Console and user interface
Both units have user controls to set the motor speed via the console. The Bien Air Dental unit has manual controls on the console, and the Perceptive unit uses a USB port to provide a graphical user interface (finger touch) to control the motor speed, direction and light. The Lares Research Perceptive software application also accepts a limited number of user voice commands (via the connected tablet) to set motor speed and direction, and motor light on or off. The voice control for the Perceptive unit is an identical set of commands designed to set the motor speed and direction and turn the light on or off. The Lares Research Perceptive and the Bien Air Dental Optima MCX units are designed for the user's foot-operated rheostat to control the motor start and stop commands. Both consoles connect to an ISO 9168 compatible dental tubing to supply cooling air, spray air and water to a contra angle or straight handpiece attachment. Motor
The Lares Research Perceptive electric motor and control unit and the predicate device include a small, brushless motor with permanent magnets which operates from 1,000 to 40,000 rpm and is removable from the control cable and can be safely sterilized between patients. The motors for both units have an ISO 3964 E-type connection which accepts dental handpieces with the same standard design. The Lares Research Perceptive unit includes a safety program feature which senses motor current to operationally, visually and audibly warn the operator of potential attachment failure.

Section 5 – 510k Summary – Perceptive electric dental motor and control
the predicate Optima MCX motor and control unit. Both devices have the same basic system motor speed and direction controls and the same intended use. The Lares Research Perceptive unit also allows the user to control the light output and has an electronic tablet to provide improved feedback for device settings and status and allow a limited set of voice commands. Both units are equally safe and effective when used as intended for general dentistry and dental restorative procedures when coupled with contra angle or straight 1:5 speed increasing or 1:1 direct drive ISO 3964 type 3 connection handpieces.
