Intended Use
combi touch incorporates, within a single device, the functions of an ultrasonic scaler and of an air-polishing prophylaxis unit. Ultrasonic scaler function: combi touch, by using the appropriate associated inserts and the ultrasonic handpiece, is intended for use in the following dental applications: - Removing supra and subgingival calculus deposits and stains from teeth - Periodontal therapy and debridement for all types of periodontal disease, including periodontal pocket lavage with simultaneous ultrasonic tip movement - Scaling and root planing - Releasing crowns, bridges, inlays, and posts as well as condensing gutta percha - Plugging for amalgam condensation - Amalgam burnishing - Preparing, cleaning and irrigating roots canals - Cavity preparation - Cleaning restorations and implant surfaces Air-polishing prophylaxis function: By using the appropriate air polishing handpiece, combi touch is intended for a complete supra-gingival and sub-gingival prophylaxis treatment. The prophylaxis treatment is obtained by the projection of water, air and appropriate dental prophylaxis powders, onto the tooth surface. The device removes dental plaque, soft deposits, and surface stains from pits, grooves, interproximal spaces, or smooth surfaces of teeth. combi touch is intended for the following oral prophylaxis procedures: - Plaque removal for placement of sealants - Surface preparation prior to bonding/cementation of inlays, onlays, crowns and veneers - Surface preparation prior to placing composite restorations - Effective plaque and stain removal for orthodontic patients - Cleaning prior to bonding ortho brackets - Cleaning implant fixtures prior to loading - Stain removal for shade determination - Plaque removal prior to fluoride treatment - Plaque and stain removal prior to whitening procedure combi touch is also intended for use as an air-polisher in patients suffering from periodontal disease. combi touch is indicated for the non-surgical removal of subgingival plaque in pockets up to 5 mm after initial periodontal treatment.
Device Description
The combi touch combines, in a single appliance, a multi-purpose piezoelectric scaler and water jet, air, and powder polisher, intended for complete supra- and subgingival dental prophylaxis. In regards to the various possible ultrasonic treatments, combi touch can be used either connected directly to the main water supply in the dental practice, or with independent irrigation through the special liquid container, which can hold different types of medical solutions. The appliance is equipped with an automatic tuning circuit which compensates the wear of the inserts, thus always allowing operation in conditions of maximum efficiency. The operating principle of the polisher is based on the mechanical action obtained from a jet of various crystal types accelerated by a flow of compressed air. The kinetic energy thus imprinted at the particles, dissipates almost completely due to impact against the surface of the enamel, producing a gentle but effective cleaning action. The action is completed by a jet of water which, using the vacuum created around the air-polishing handpiece, has a bellshape around the main flow, thus producing a double effect: to prevent much of the rebound and the leakage of the cloud of powder and perform continuous washing of the treated area, dissolving the powder.
More Information

No
The description focuses on the mechanical and physical principles of ultrasonic scaling and air polishing. There is no mention of AI, ML, or any computational analysis of data for diagnosis, treatment planning, or device control beyond basic automatic tuning.

Yes
The device is intended for various dental applications including removing calculus deposits, periodontal therapy, root planing, and oral prophylaxis, all of which aim to treat or prevent disease and restore health.

No

This device is intended for dental prophylaxis, including cleaning, scaling, and polishing, which are therapeutic and maintenance procedures, not diagnostic ones.

No

The device description clearly details hardware components such as an ultrasonic handpiece, air polishing handpiece, liquid container, and a tuning circuit, indicating it is a physical medical device with integrated functions, not software only.

Based on the provided information, 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 for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Device Function: The combi touch is a dental device used for cleaning teeth and surrounding tissues through ultrasonic scaling and air polishing. It performs procedures directly on the patient's teeth and in their mouth.
  • Lack of Specimen Analysis: The device does not analyze any specimens taken from the body. Its function is entirely external and mechanical/physical in nature, applied directly to the anatomical site (teeth and soft tissues in the mouth).

Therefore, the combi touch falls under the category of a dental device used for treatment and prophylaxis, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

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

The results of the tests indicated that combi touch, when used in combination with the commercially-available prophylaxis powders identified above (Sodium Bicarbonate based powder, Glycine based powder):

  1. was effective in the removal of simulated plaque from dental surfaces.
  2. did not cause any damages to dental surfaces, as verified by the examination of tooth surfaces morphology after the treatment;
  3. proved to be safe and effective for its intended use, producing erosion that is comparable to, or even lower than, the erosion produced by the predicate device.
    The results of the tests have demonstrated the safety and effectiveness of the Combi Touch device for the indication for use reported in section 5.
    Animal or clinical testing were not required to prove combi touch's substantial equivalence when compared to the predicate/reference devices

Substantial Equivalence Discussion

The proposed device and the predicate device AIRFLOW Prophylaxis Master (K190124 cleared on 20/10/2019) have the intended use substantially identical

The proposed device and the predicate device share also many identical features, including identical/equivalent principle of operation and technological characteristics

The differences identified in the above table 1.1 clearly have no impact on safety or effectiveness of the device. Any differences identified in above table does not introduce any new questions regarding safety and effectiveness.

These considerations are also confirmed by the performance test carried out in comparison with the predicate device PD1.

The data presented in this submission demonstrates the identities existing between the combi touch device and the predicate devices, and thus support a finding of substantial equivalence between the subject device and the referenced predicated devices, which are already in commercial distribution in the United States.
