The device description clearly outlines multiple hardware components including a console, motor, foot pedal, and electric cord, indicating it is not a software-only device.
Based on the provided information, the Nouvag AG TCM 3000 and TCM Endo is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) device.
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is for "dental drilling and tightening of the various types of screws during dental implantation and microsurgery." This describes a surgical procedure performed directly on a patient, not a test performed on a sample taken from the body.
- Device Description: The device is a "microprocessorcontrolled dental hand piece with controlled electric motor-torque." This is a tool used for mechanical manipulation during surgery.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention any components or functions related to analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.) or providing diagnostic information based on such analysis.
IVD devices are specifically designed to perform tests on samples taken from the human body to provide information for the diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment of diseases or conditions. The TCM 3000 and TCM Endo does not fit this description.

Intended Use
Nouvag AG's ("Nouvag") TCM 3000 and TCM Endo is a microprocessorcontrolled dental hand piece with controlled electric motor-torque. The TCM 3000 and TCM Endo is intended to be used for dental drilling and tightening of the various types of screws during dental implantation and microsurgery. The TCM 3000 and TCM Endo are the same device with the same components. For marketing reason they just have different names.
Technological Characteristics
The TCM 3000's and TCM Endo's primary components are (1) a console; (2) a motor; (3) a microprocessor; (4) a foot pedal; and (5) an electric cord and plug. The TCM 3000 and TCM Endo is not supplied with dental drills or contra-angles or contra-angles torque wrenches, which are also called dental hand pieces. The Micromotor has a standard E-Type coupling that will fit any E-Type hand pieces and contra-angles.
The console houses the microprocessor and the motor. The buttons for setting the motor speed, contra-angle reduction ratio, motor torque are located on the front panel of the console. The buttons that may be used to start and stop the motor and change the cut-direction of the drill also are located on the front panel. The port connections for the contra-angles and the foot pedal and the main power switch are located on the back of the console.
A lever is located on the foot pedal for starting and stopping the motor. For the second version of the foot pedal the lever also can adjust the motor speed. The TCM 3000/Endo contains an audible alarm that sounds when the drill is turning in the reverse- cut direction.
The TCM 3000/Endo requires an AC current of 115V or 230V. An electrical cord, which is intended to be plugged into a standard electrical outlet, is attached to the back of the console.

Principles of Operation
The operator of the TCM 3000/Endo turns the main power switch to the .on" position to start the device. The operator then sets the motor speed, the contraangle reductions ratio and the motor torque by pressing buttons at the front panel of the console. The preset motor speed is displayed on the front panel. The built - in torque controller ensures that the drill is working constantly at the pre - selected motor torque and the pre - selected drill speed.
The operator also has the option of setting the AS - Torque - Driver Mode. This function is used for tightening and releasing the screws. As soon as the motor torque is equal to the pre-selected value, the motor will automatically shut-off. By utilizing this torque driver mode, the operator can avoid the risk of under - or over tightening of screws.
The operator starts the motor with the foot pedal or the "motor" button. There are two different foot pedals available: one with just the start/stop foot switch, the second foot control with the variable speed foot pedal. In this case the operator starts cutting with the drill by depressing the lever on the foot pedal; the drill continues to cut as long as the lever remains depressed. The drill stops immediately when the operator releases the foot lever.
The operator can use the drill in the forward-cut direction or the reversecut direction pressing the "FORW/REV" button on the control panel. The green LED indicator light on the "FORW/REV" button will illuminate and an alarm will sound when the drill turns in the reverse-cut direction.
The TCM 3000/Endo microprocessor implements the operator's commands, displays the motor speed, and sounds an alarm if there is an electric overload or the drill is turning in the reverse cut direction. The microprocessor has no external user interface; it simply implements the operator's commands. The preselected drill speed and motor torque for each drill and the torque value are retained in memory if the main switch is shut off.

Summary of the Basis for the Finding of Substantial Equivalence
The safety or effectiveness of the TCM 3000/Endo is based on the safety or efficacy of the predicate device.
The TCM 3000/Endo and the Micro-Dispenser 7000/8000 have the same general intended use: microprocessor-controlled dental drilling and torque-controlled system. These devices also have very similar indications: dental implantation and oral or microsurgery. In addition, these devices have the same principles of operation. The operator of the device sets the motor speed, contra-angle reduction ratio, and the torque-levels and operates the drill by pushing buttons on the console or on the foot pedal. The operator of the Micro-Dispenser 7000/8000 has the option of operating the drill(s) and changing the cut directions of the drill(s) by using either the hand control buttons on the front panel or the foot pedal. The operator of the TCM 3000/Endo can also use the hand control panel or the foot pedal, but only for start/stop function of the motor. The TCM 3000/Endo and the Micro-Dispenser 7000/8000's microprocessors implement the operator's commands.
The TCM 3000/Endo and the Micro-Dispenser have very similar technological characteristics. More specifically, these dental drilling systems have the following features: (1) buttons on the console for setting the motor speed, torque levels, contra-angle reduction ratios and starting and stopping the motor; (2) a foot pedal for starting and stopping the motor, (3) motor torques that are preset according to the selected contra-angle reduction, (4) safety-overload protection; and (5) they require AC current. Both are microprocessor controlled. Neither device is supplied with drills or contra-angles. Both devices can be used with any E-type contra-angles. Although there are some minor differences in their technological characteristics, namely their contra-angle reduction-ratios and their pre-selectable torque levels, as well their irrigation pump and their foot control. These differences do not present any new issues of safety or effectiveness. Thus, the TCM 3000/Endo is substantially equivalent to the Micro-Dispenser 7000/8000.

The dental drills and contra-angles are the only components of the TCM 3000/Endo that may come into contact with the patient's body during dental implantation or microsurgery. As noted above, the TCM 3000/Endo is not supplied with the dental drills and E-type contra-angles. Therefore, the bio-compatibility of these products need not to be demonstrated in this submission. Nevertheless, the bio-compatibility of dental drills and contra-angles has been demonstrated by their long history of safe use.
