The summary describes a mechanical fluid control device and contains no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or data analysis that would suggest the use of such technologies.
No
The device is described as an "accessory" for a dental operative unit that controls the delivery of air and/or fluid. It does not exert any direct therapeutic effect on the patient.
No
The device is described as an accessory for controlled delivery of air and/or fluid during dental procedures, which falls under treatment or operational assistance rather than diagnosis.
No
The device is described as a "dental operative unit accessory" that controls the delivery of air and fluid. This strongly suggests a physical component interacting with a dental unit, not a standalone software application. The lack of any mention of software in the description further supports this conclusion.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly states it's a "dental operative unit accessory that allows for the controlled delivery of a particular rate of air and/or fluid from a pressurized source during various dental procedures." This describes a device used during a dental procedure on a patient, not a device used to examine specimens in vitro (outside the body) to diagnose a condition.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description doesn't mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
- Analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
- Detecting or measuring substances in those samples
- Providing information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening of diseases or conditions.
The device's function is purely mechanical and related to delivering air and fluid during a dental procedure.

§ 872.6640 Dental operative unit and accessories.
(a)
Identification. A dental operative unit and accessories is an AC-powered device that is intended to supply power to and serve as a base for other dental devices, such as a dental handpiece, a dental operating light, an air or water syringe unit, and oral cavity evacuator, a suction operative unit, and other dental devices and accessories. The device may be attached to a dental chair.(b)
Classification. Class I (general controls). Except for dental operative unit, accessories are exempt from premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to § 872.9.

Dear Mr. Barritt:
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) notification of intent to market the device referenced above and we have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to leqally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (Premarket Approval), it may --be subject to such additional controls. Existing major requlations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 895. A substantially equivalent determination assumes compliance with the Current Good Manufacturing Practice requirements, as set forth in the Quality System Regulation (QS) for Medical General regulation (21 CFR Part 820) and that, Devices: through periodic QS inspections, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will verify such assumptions. Failure to comply with the GMP requlation may result in regulatory action. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Reqister. Please note: this response to your premarket notification submission does not affect any obligation you might have under sections 531

through 542 of the Act for devices under the Electronic Product Radiation Control provisions, or other Federal laws or requlations.
This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your 510 (k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market.
If you desire specific advice for your device on our labelinq regulation (21 CFR Part 801 and additionally 809.10 for in vitro diagnostic devices), please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4692.
