Intended Use
High-speed dental handpieces are used intraorally by trained dental professionals for drilling and preparation of dental caries for restoration, such as fillings. The intended use is identical to that of the predicate 430 Series Lube Free High Speed Handpiece. Autochuck turbines are used in place of a bur tool to facilitate bur changing. The intended use of the Star Autochuck Turbine with Vortex Air Seal is to both provide the convenient:e of tool-free bur changing and to eliminate the necessity of lubrication of the turbin a after use and before sterilization.

The summary describes a mechanical dental handpiece and turbine with features for bur changing and lubrication, with no mention of AI or ML.

No.
The device description indicates it is a high-speed dental handpiece used for drilling and preparation of dental caries, which is a tool for a procedure rather than for therapy itself.

No
Explanation: The device is a dental handpiece used for drilling and preparing dental caries for restoration. Its function is procedural (drilling/preparation) rather than for diagnosing conditions.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "Lube Free Autochuck Turbine with Vortex Air Seal for use with StarDental 430 Series Lube Free High Speed Dental Handpiece." This describes a physical component (a turbine) that is part of a dental handpiece, which is a hardware device.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
  • Device Function: The description clearly states the device is a high-speed dental handpiece used intraorally for drilling and preparing dental caries. This is a mechanical tool used directly on the patient's body for a therapeutic/restorative purpose.
  • Lack of Biological Sample Analysis: There is no mention of the device analyzing any biological samples or providing diagnostic information based on such analysis.

Therefore, this device falls under the category of a medical device used for treatment/procedure, not an in vitro diagnostic.
