No
The device description focuses on mechanical components and movement, and there is no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or data-driven algorithms.
No.
The device is a dental handpiece used for procedures like preparation, finishing, polishing, and plaque removal, which are not considered therapeutic interventions aimed at curing or treating a disease or medical condition.
No
Explanation: The device description and intended use clearly state that this device is a contra-angle handpiece used for various dental treatments such as preparation, finishing, polishing, and plaque removal. There is no mention of it being used to diagnose conditions or diseases.
No
The device description clearly states it is a dental contra-angle handpiece powered by an air motor or electric micromotor, involving mechanical components like gearing elements. This indicates a physical hardware device, not software only.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes a device used for mechanical procedures in dentistry (preparation, removing materials, finishing, polishing, plaque removal, IPR). These are physical actions performed directly on the patient's teeth and surrounding tissues.
- Device Description: The description details a mechanical handpiece that transmits movement to a tool. It does not mention any components or processes related to analyzing biological samples or providing diagnostic information.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), detecting analytes, or providing diagnostic results.
IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for the diagnosis, prevention, monitoring, treatment, or alleviation of disease. This device does not fit that description.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use
The reciprocating/oscillating contra-angle handpieces are for the following applications:
Preparation, removing protrusions or excess of filling materials and cements, finishing and polishing in the interdental, supragingival and subgingival regions, plaque removal and IPR (interproximal reduction) in orthodontics.

Device Description
W&H's reciprocating/oscillating handpieces were developed as dental contra-angle handpieces that are powered by either an air motor or an electric micromotor. The internally mounted gearing elements transmit the supplied rotational movement up to the head-side assembly holding the clamped tool and generating its reciprocal movement.
Because of being designed for two different manufacturers´ files/tips (tools), the following types have been developed:
- the Synea Profin handpieces WG-67 LT and WG-67 A, intended to be provided with tips/files offered by the Swedish company Dentatus AB (Establishment Reg. No. 8030870)
- and
- the Synea Intensiv handpieces WG-68 A, WG-69 LT and WG-69 A (incl. Swiss Edition for WG-69 A and WG-69 LT), intended to be provided with tips/files offered by the Swiss manufacturer Intensiv SA (Establishment Reg. No. 8030958).
All these devices´ application is intended in dentistry.

Dear Gerhard Weidler:
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 (the 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 available 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.
