Intended Use
The devices claimed hereis are the air turbines only, and are not the handpiece itself. The devices are intended for use in the Miwest's Quiet-Air or Tradition handpieces, in place of Midwest's original turbines. The device, therefore, is, with Midwest handpiece, intended for use in general dental applications; such as cutting a tooth for crown preparation, cavity preparation, finishing the crown, inlay or the filling, etc.

More Information

Not Found

Unclear

No
The summary describes a mechanical dental turbine and does not mention any software, algorithms, or AI/ML capabilities.

No
The device, an air turbine for dental handpieces, is used for mechanical actions like cutting and drilling teeth for various dental procedures. It does not exert a therapeutic effect on the body; its function is purely instrumental in facilitating the dental treatment.

No

The device is described as an air turbine for dental handpieces used for procedures like cutting teeth and preparing cavities, which are treatment procedures, not diagnostic ones.

No

The device description explicitly states it is an "air turbine," which is a physical component, not software.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for "general dental applications; such as cutting a tooth for crown preparation, cavity preparation, finishing the crown, inlay or the filling, etc." This describes a mechanical action performed on a patient's tooth, not a test performed on a sample taken from the body to diagnose a condition.
  • Device Description: The device is an "air turbine" for a dental handpiece. This is a mechanical component used in a dental procedure.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), detecting markers, or providing diagnostic information based on in vitro testing.

IVD devices are specifically designed to be used in vitro (outside the body) to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. This device clearly operates in vivo (within the body) during a dental procedure.
