No
The device description and performance studies focus on the mechanical and sterilization properties of a dental handpiece motor, with no mention of AI or ML.

Yes

The device is used to perform clinical procedures in the oral cavity for treating carious teeth, performing prophylaxis, and endodontic preparations, which are all therapeutic interventions.

No

Explanation: The device description and intended use focus on preparing carious teeth for restorations, prophylaxis, and endodontic preparations, which are all treatment procedures, not diagnostic ones. There is no mention of the device being used to identify or assess a medical condition.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "slow speed dental handpiece motor" and describes physical components and sterilization procedures, indicating it is a hardware device.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use describes procedures performed directly on the patient within the oral cavity (preparing teeth, prophylaxis, endodontic preparations). IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a physiological state, health, or disease.
  • Device Description: The description details a mechanical handpiece motor used for dental procedures, not for analyzing biological samples.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological specimens, reagents, or any of the typical components or processes associated with in vitro diagnostics.
  • Performance Studies: The performance study described is a sterilization test, which is relevant for a device used in a clinical setting but not indicative of an IVD's analytical performance.

Therefore, this device is a dental handpiece motor used for direct patient treatment, not for in vitro diagnostic testing.

Sterilization Test and Anaylsis: Autoclave procedures for the 20R "E" type slow speed motor were conducted in a Pelton & Crane Validator 8 at Athena Technology, Inc., 984 N. Amelia Ave., San Dimas, CA 91773, (800) 253-1771. Biological indicator used was Sportrol Spore Strip @106, bacillus stearothermophilus. Manufacturers lot #S51703 with an expiration date of May 1999. The biological testing facility was Namsa, 9 Morgan, Irvine, CA 92718, (714) 951-3110.

One Athena 20R "E" type motor was disassembled and a spore strip inserted into the rotor area of the motor. The motor was reassembled, inserted into an Athena standard autoclaye bag and placed into the autoclave according to the recommendations received with the spore strips.

The 20R "E" type motor was placed on a tray with a pair of tweezers to be used for the removal of the spore strips . In addition, a stainless steel plate was inserted into the autoclave to provide a sterile surface for the device on the removal from the autoclave.

The sterilization cycle in the Pelton & Crane Validator 8 consisted of 12 minutes at 132 degrees Celsius and 210 kPa pressure.

The device was removed from the autoclave using sterile gloves and the spore strip removed with the sterile tweezers. The spore strip was sealed in bag and identified. It was then forwarded to Namsa for incubation.

The spore strip was cultured at Namsa for a period of 7 days using the procedure/test method S-04491-01-00/Immersion. The spore strip tested sterile by Namsa (report included).

In conclusion, Athena devices sterilized in a Pelton & Crane Validator 8 or similar autoclave at 132 degrees Celsius at 210 kPa for 12 minutes will be sterile.

Device Name: Trade or Proprietary Name - Athena 20R E Type Motor Common or Usual Name - Slow Speed Dental Handpiece Motor Classification Name - Air Powered Dental Handpiece

Identification: The following devices are identified to be equivalent in indications for use, design, material and energy source to Athena's 20R "E" Type Slow Speed Dental Handpiece motor:

  • A. Champion Lowspeed Handpiece Motors marketed by Champion Dental Products Inc., 1941 Miraloma, Placentia, California 92870; and
  • B. Lynx Low Speed Handpiece Motors marketed by MTI Precision Products, 175 Oberlin North Avenue, Lakewood, New Jersey 08701; and
  • C. KaVo Handpieces marketed by KaVo America Corporation, 2401 West Hassell Road, Hoffman Estates, Illinois 60195; and
  • D. Medidenta Slow Speed Motors marketed by Medidenta International, Inc., 39-23 62nd Street. Woodside, New York 11377.

Description: 20R "E" type slow speed dental handpiece motor; fully autoclavable (up to 135°C); utilizes an E type coupling to accept standard E type attachments. ISO couplings B, C and D are available.

Device Function: With the air driven motor, air is delivered through a port system which will allow forward, reverse or no operation to a vaned rotor system. The rotor spins as a result of the air delivery and that rotation is converted to RPM and torque used to operate any attachment coupled to the motor.

1

Significant Physical and Performance Characteristics: The exploded drawing (attached) illustrates the typical placement and function of the various components and parts of the motor. Air enters through the hose connector into the drive air port. That air is routed through the air delivery passages to the proper port which controls the direction of rotation of the motor. That porting arrangement is controlled by a rotary ring which permits the user to control either direction or operation. The air, having been ported, enters the motor stator body and impinges on the blades attached to the rotor causing them to spin in the appropriate direction. After approximately a 2/3 to 3/4 revolution, the air is permitted to exhaust from the stator cavity and is expelled from the motor through the exhaust porting to the exhaust tube attached to the air delivery and exhaust hose.

Materials Used: The motor is principally made of the following materials: aluminum; stainless steel and instrument quality stainless steel. Alternatively titanium is used in place of aluminum and stainless steel in certain applications. VITON is used for "O" rings. Flourosilicone is used for the hose to motor gasket.

Material Physical Properties: Aluminum Type 2011 or 6016 is used. Physical properties associated with these materials is defined by ASTM specification. Commonly used in medical and dental instruments and devices. Stainless steel type 300 series and 416 used. Physical properties associated with these materials is defined by ASTM specification. Commonly used in medical and dental instruments and devices. VITON is a medical grade. FDA approved elastomer commonly used in various of medical and dental instruments and devices. Flourosilicone is a commonly used gasket material for medical and dental instruments and devices.

Statement of the Intended Use: Use in combination with attachments, i.e., a nosecone or contra angle to prepare carious teeth for restorations; to perform prophylaxis; endodontic preparations or other procedures used by a dentist in the oral cavity.

Technological Characteristics: The Athena 20R "E" Type Slow Speed Handpiece Motor is similar to predicate devices in indications for use, design (E couplings and ISO couplings); material (aluminum, stainless steel, VTTON and flourosilicone); energy source (air).

Sterilization Test and Anaylsis: Autoclave procedures for the 20R "E" type slow speed motor were conducted in a Pelton & Crane Validator 8 at Athena Technology, Inc., 984 N. Amelia Ave., San Dimas, CA 91773, (800) 253-1771. Biological indicator used was Sportrol Spore Strip @106, bacillus stearothermophilus. Manufacturers lot #S51703 with an expiration date of May 1999.

In conclusion, Athena devices sterilized in a Pelton & Crane Validator 8 or similar autoclave at 132 degrees Celsius at 210 kPa for 12 minutes will be sterile.

Life Cycle Estimates: The Athena 20R "E" Type Slow Speed Motor has an estimated minimum life of 500 cycles when autoclaved for 12 minutes at 132 degrees Celsius and 210 kPa pressure.
