Device Description
The DentaPure™ Cartridge is an in-line filter assembly Incorporating iodinated resin and a .22 micron filter. It consists of A schematic of the cartings is vith the outer chamber filled with a lichiorane type in mage resin that imparts 2-4 ppm of iodine into the water as it flows through. The filter portion is of a sufficiently small porosity to be bacterially retentive, and would thereby reduce the amount of bacteria that would reach the patient from the dental water system. The iodine that is released reduces the chance of cross contamination by introducing the germicide, iodine, into the water system downstream of the filter. The DentaPure™ Cartridge is a disposable unit, retrofittable to all modern dental operatory units. The filter is installed in each dynamic instrument water tubing with quick connect fittings for ease of changing on a weekly basis.

No
The device description and performance studies focus on the physical filtration and chemical properties of the iodinated resin, with no mention of AI or ML.

No
The device is described as an "in-line filter assembly" that reduces bacteria and prevents cross-contamination in dental water systems, rather than directly treating a disease or condition in a patient.

No

The device is an in-line filter assembly designed to reduce bacteria and cross-contamination in dental water systems by releasing iodine, not to diagnose medical conditions.

No

The device description clearly states it is an "in-line filter assembly incorporating iodinated resin and a .22 micron filter," which are physical components, not software.

Based on the provided text, the DentaPure™ Cartridge is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to filter and treat water in dental water systems to reduce bacteria and prevent cross-contamination. This is a treatment/prevention function, not a diagnostic one.
  • Device Description: The device description focuses on the physical components (iodinated resin, filter) and their function in treating the water. There is no mention of analyzing biological samples or providing diagnostic information.
  • Performance Studies: The performance studies evaluate the effectiveness of the device in reducing bacteria in the water and maintaining an iodine residual. These are performance metrics related to water quality and contamination control, not diagnostic accuracy.

IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for the diagnosis, treatment, or prevention of disease. The DentaPure™ Cartridge does not perform this function.

Intended Use / Indications for Use

The DentaPure™ Cartridge is an in-line filter assembly Incorporating iodinated resin and a .22 micron filter. The filter incorporating fournated roshe connection to the handpiece.
The filter portion is of a sufficiently small porosity to be bacterially retentive, and would thereby reduce the amount of bacteria that would reach the patient from the dental water system. The iodine that is released reduces the chance of cross contamination by introducing the germicide, iodine, into the water system downstream of the filter.
The DentaPure™ Cartridge is a disposable unit, retrofittable to all modern dental operatory units. The filter is installed in each dynamic instrument water tubing with quick connect fittings for ease of changing on a weekly basis.
The instructions for use of the DentaPure™ Cartridge require that the dental instruments be sterilized in conformity with current recommendations for sterilization and flushing. When used in conjunction with these normal practices, the DentaPure™ Cartridges commonly reduce bacteria levels to less than 1 cfu/ml. Current recommendations of the ADA recommend having less than 200 cfu/ml in dental unit water lines, so this device exceeds those recommendations.

Device Description

The DentaPure™ Cartridge is an in-line filter assembly Incorporating iodinated resin and a .22 micron filter. The filter incorporating an iodide resin is designed for connection to the handpiece. It consists of an outer chamber filled with a film of an iodophor type in image resin that imparts 2-4 ppm of iodine into the water as it flows through. The resin is registered with EPA. The filter portion is of a sufficiently small porosity to be bacterially retentive. The iodine that is released reduces the chance of cross contamination by introducing the germicide, iodine, into the water system downstream of the filter. The DentaPure™ Cartridge is a disposable unit, retrofittable to all modern dental operatory units.

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

Two tests have been conducted to show the efficacy of the DentaPure™ Cartridge and its substantial equivalence to the Clearline™ filter.

  1. Tests of the effectiveness of the iodine residual in cross contamination were conducted. Results showed an iodine residual in the tubing of .5 ppm in the first 5 ml, and less than 1 cfu/ml. Samples of the first 5 ml taken the next day showed little or no recontamination after 43 days.
  2. The second set of tests to show equivalence and effectiveness were performed in a dental office, under actual conditions. Tests showed that inclusion of a 0.45 micron filter in conjunction with iodinated resin reduced the number of colony forming units from 10 cfu/100ml to less than 10cfu/100ml.

Key Metrics (Sensitivity, Specificity, PPV, NPV, etc.)

  • Iodine residual in tubing: 0.5 ppm in the first 5 ml
  • Bacterial levels: less than 1 cfu/ml (after 43 days, little or no recontamination)
  • Reduction of colony forming units: from 10 cfu/100ml to less than 10cfu/100ml
