No
The description details a mechanical air-driven handpiece for dental cleaning and polishing. There is no mention of any software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate the use of AI or ML. The performance studies focus on mechanical and biological safety standards.
Yes
The device is described as being for "the non-surgical removal of subgingival plaque in pockets up to 4 mm after initial periodontal treatment," which indicates it is used for the treatment of a disease (periodontal disease).
No
The device is described as a dental handpiece used for cleaning and polishing teeth, removing soft deposits and discoloration, and preparing teeth for various dental procedures. Its primary functions are therapeutic and prophylactic, not diagnostic.
No
The device description clearly outlines a physical handpiece with components like a spray head, nozzle, powder storage chamber, and tail cord connector, which are hardware components. The performance studies also focus on physical and biological testing of the hardware.
Based on the provided text, the Dental Air Polishing Handpiece, AP-H Plus is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
- Device Function: The Dental Air Polishing Handpiece, AP-H Plus is a dental handpiece used directly on the patient's teeth and surrounding structures for cleaning, polishing, and removing deposits. It does not analyze specimens taken from the body.
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes a procedure performed in vivo (on the living body), not in vitro (in a lab setting).
Therefore, the device falls under the category of a general medical device used for dental procedures, not an IVD.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use
The Dental Air Polishing Handpiece, AP-H Plus is a dental handpiece intended for use in the cleaning and polishing of teeth by the projection of a mixture of water, air, and powder onto the tooth surface. The device removes soft deposits and areas of discoloration and can be used to prepare teeth for dental procedures such as the placement of composite fillings, porcelain inlays, and laminate veneers. The device can be used to clean implant abutments and to clean teeth prior to treatments such as shade matching, fluoridation, and bleaching. The device can also be used to degrease crowns and bridges prior to placement and clean fixed bands and brackets on orthodontic appliances.
The Dental Air Polishing Handpiece, AP-H Plus is intended for patients suffering from periodontal disease.
The Dental Air Polishing Handpiece, AP-H Plus is indicated for the non-surgical removal of subgingival plaque in pockets up to 4 mm after initial periodontal treatment.

Dear Charles Mack:
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.
