Mechanical drive unit with coolant supply for transmission instruments with ISO 3964 (DIN13940) compatible coupling system, for use in dental surgery, implantology and maxillofacial surgery (CMF) for treatment of dental hard tissue.
The Dental Implant Unit is intended for use in dental surgery, implantology and maxillofacial surgery (CMF) for treatment of dental hard tissue. The device is composed of main unit, motor with tube, handpiece, foot pedal and holder. Eight different programs can be selected by the user. Switching between these programs is performed by foot control or via touch display. The programs include Positioning, Hole-drilling, Hole-Broadening, Tapping, Implanting, Lock the Abutment Screw, User Defined Mode and Cleaning. The control unit is intended to be used with the motor.
The provided FDA 510(k) clearance letter and associated summary pertain to a Dental Implant Unit, which is a Class I medical device (a "Dental Handpiece and Accessories"). Class I devices are generally subject to general controls and are considered low-risk.
The documentation does not detail performance testing results for the device against specific, quantitative acceptance criteria for a clinical or software-based performance study as would be expected for a higher-risk Class II or Class III device, particularly those involving AI or diagnostic capabilities.
Instead, the submission focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence ("SE") to a predicate device (K231845, also a dental implant unit) primarily through:
- Engineering and design comparisons: Showing similar indications for use, fundamental operating principles, and safety features.
- Compliance with recognized electrical safety and biocompatibility standards: This is the primary form of "performance testing" described.
Therefore, the following information will reflect what is discernible from the provided document, highlighting the absence of typical AI/diagnostic device study elements.
Acceptance Criteria and Device Performance (Based on Provided Document)
| Acceptance Criteria Category | Specific Criteria (Derived from standards compliance or SE assertion) | Reported Device Performance (Summary from document) |
|---|---|---|
| Electrical Safety | Compliance with IEC 60601-1 | Compliance Met: Passed IEC 60601-1 test. |
| Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) | Compliance with IEC 60601-1-2 | Compliance Met: Passed IEC 60601-1-2 test. |
| Software Validation | Compliance with IEC 62304 | Compliance Met: Software Validation performed. |
| Biocompatibility | Compliance with ISO 10993-1 | Compliance Met: Biocompatibility testing performed compliant with ISO 10993-1. |
| Functionality | Device functions as intended (e.g., provides coolant, motor control, programming). Includes usability compliance. | Compliance Met: Function test performed; usability compliance ensured; enhanced power and lower start speed do not affect safety/effectiveness. |
| Sterilization & Shelf Life | Device can be sterilized, and maintains integrity over shelf life. | Compliance Met: Sterilization and Shelf Life & Packaging Test performed. |
Study Information (Where applicable, based on provided text)
1. Sample sized used for the test set and the data provenance:
* Test Set Sample Size: Not specified in terms of patient data or typical "test set" for AI/diagnostic algorithms. The "test set" here refers to the device units themselves undergoing engineering and safety tests. The specific number of units tested is not provided, but implies typical engineering validation.
* Data Provenance: Not applicable in the context of patient data. The tests are laboratory/benchtop tests conducted to verify compliance with engineering standards.
2. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts:
* This is not applicable as the "ground truth" for a dental implant unit (a mechanical drive) is established by engineering specifications, calibration, and standardized testing procedures, not by expert human interpretation of medical images or clinical data. Experts involved would be engineers or technicians with relevant expertise in electrical safety, mechanical testing, and quality assurance.
3. Adjudication method (e.g., 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set:
* Not applicable for this type of device and testing. Engineering tests rely on quantitative measurements against defined thresholds—there's no "adjudication" in the sense of resolving conflicting human interpretations.
4. If a multi reader multi case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done, If so, what was the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance:
* No MRMC study was done. This device is a mechanical drive unit for dental surgery, not an AI-powered diagnostic or assistive tool for human readers. Therefore, there is no "human reader" component or effect size to report.
5. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done:
* Not applicable. This device is not an algorithm or AI system. It is a piece of hardware. While it has software ("Compliance with IEC 62304"), this software controls the mechanical functions of the unit (e.g., motor speed, irrigation), not performs diagnostic or interpretive tasks.
6. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.):
* Engineering Specifications and International Standards: The "ground truth" for this device's performance is compliance with established international standards for electrical safety (IEC 60601-1, IEC 60601-1-2), software (IEC 62304), and biocompatibility (ISO 10993-1), as well as verification against its own design specifications (e.g., speed range, output power). There is no "pathology" or "outcomes data" ground truth in this context.
7. The sample size for the training set:
* Not applicable. This is a hardware device; it does not have a "training set" in the machine learning sense. The software it contains likely undergoes traditional software development and validation, but not machine learning training.
8. How the ground truth for the training set was established:
* Not applicable. See point 7.

8.3. Review of Differences:
Note 1 Dimensions Difference
The proposed device has slightly different dimensions on control unit, foot control, and motor cable length compared to the predicate device. Despite this, the usability compliance ensures that the subject device is safe and effective for its intended use. Furthermore, the subject device has demonstrated electrical safety by passing IEC 60601-1, IEC 60601-1-2, and IEC 80601-2-60 tests. Therefore, this difference does not affect the safety and effectiveness of the subject device compared to the predicate device.
Note 2 Dimensions Difference
The proposed device has a higher maximum mechanical output power (150 W) compared to the predicate device (120 W). This increase in power provides greater flexibility and efficiency during dental procedures, particularly when dealing with harder tissues or when more torque is required. Despite this, the proposed device has passed series of electrical safety and usability tests which demonstrates the enhanced power capacity simply offers improved performance without altering the device's fundamental operation or intended use. Therefore, this difference does not affect the safety and effectiveness of the proposed device compared to the predicate device.
Note 3 Motor speed range difference
The proposed device operates at a speed range of 200 - 40,000 rpm, whereas the
Page 11
predicate device operates at 300 - 40,000 rpm. The lower starting speed allows for more precise control during delicate procedures, such as initial drilling or preparation stages where lower speeds are advantageous. The upper speed limit remains the same (40,000 rpm) for both devices, ensuring that the proposed device maintains the same high-speed capabilities as the predicate. The expanded speed range enhances the versatility of the device without compromising safety or effectiveness. Therefore, this difference does not affect the safety and effectiveness of the proposed device compared to the predicate device.
9. Discussion of Non-clinical Tests Performed for Determination of Substantial Equivalence are as follows:
The proposed device is the same as the predicate device but the two devices are different. A series of safety and performance tests were conducted on the subject device:
- Sterilization and Shelf Life & Packaging Test
- Biocompatibility
- Software Validation
- Electromagnetic Compatibility and electrical safety
- Function test
All the test results demonstrate the proposed device meets the requirements of its pre-defined acceptance criteria and intended uses, and is substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
10. Conclusion
Based on the comparison and analysis above, the proposed device is determined to be Substantially Equivalent (SE) to the predicate device.
