No
The description details a standard ultrasonic scaler with manual controls for power and water flow. There is no mention of any adaptive, learning, or intelligent features. The "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML" section explicitly states "Not Found".
Yes
The device is described as an "ultrasonic scaler intended for use during dental cleaning and periodontal (gum) therapy to remove plaque and calculus," which directly indicates a therapeutic purpose.
No
Explanation: The device is described as an "ultrasonic scaler intended for use during dental cleaning and periodontal (gum) therapy to remove plaque and calculus". This is a therapeutic function, not a diagnostic one.
No
The device description clearly outlines physical hardware components including a main chassis, footswitch, handpiece, and cords, indicating it is not a software-only device.
Based on the provided information, the Piezo Tronic is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) device.
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is for dental cleaning and periodontal therapy to remove plaque and calculus from teeth. This is a direct treatment/procedure performed on a patient's body, not a test performed on a sample taken from the body.
- Device Description: The description details a physical device that uses ultrasonic energy and water flow to perform a mechanical action on the teeth. It does not describe any components or processes related to analyzing biological samples.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), detecting biomarkers, or providing diagnostic information based on laboratory testing.
IVD devices are specifically designed to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. The Piezo Tronic's function is purely therapeutic/procedural.

Intended Use / Indications for Use
The Piezo Tronic is a device for delivering ultrasonic movement and water to a stainless steel tip that is used by a dentist or dental hygienist. The intended uses are: Periodontal pocket lavage with simultaneous ultrasonic tip movement Scaling and root planing. Removal of supra and subginqival calculus and stains from teeth.
The Piezo Tronic is an ultrasonic scaler intended for use during dental cleaning and periodontal therapy to remove plaque and calculus with an ultrasonic vibrating scaler tip to the teeth.

Device Description
The Piezo Tronic consists of a main chassis containing a water control valve, an electric power supply, controls and displays, and ultrasonic generator. A footswitch is connected to the main chassis by a footswitch cord and a handpiece containing an ultrasonic scaler tip is connected to the main chassis by a handpiece cord.
When a dental professional has placed the tip in the proper position, the footswitch is depressed which activates the ultrasonic generator and opens the control valve to initiate water flow. The water flow and the level of ultrasonic energy delivered can be adjusted via operator accessible controls. A circular knob with an inked line on the front panel indicates the power level currently selected. Power level is adjusted by rotating the labeled knob clockwise on the front panel. Water flow is adjusted via a knob also on the front panel. When the footswitch is released, both ultrasonic energy and water flow stop immediately.
Safety of the operator and patient is ensured by compliance to IEC 601-1 and EMC 89/336/CEE.

6. Device Description
The Piezo Tronic consists of a main chassis containing a water control valve, an electric power supply, controls and displays, and ultrasonic generator. A footswitch is connected to the main chassis by a footswitch cord and a handpiece containing an ultrasonic scaler tip is connected to the main chassis by a handpiece cord.

The water flow and the level of ultrasonic energy delivered can be adjusted via operator accessible controls. A circular knob with an inked line on the front panel indicates the power level currently selected. Power level is adjusted by rotating the labeled knob clockwise on the front panel. Water flow is adiusted via a knob also on the front panel. When the foot switch is released, both ultrasonic energy and water flow stop immediately.
Safety of the operator and patient is ensured by compliance to IEC 601-1 and EMC 89/336/CEE.
7. Intended Use

- Periodontal pocket lavage with simultaneous ultrasonic tip . movement
- Scaling and root planing ●
- . Removal of supra and subginqival calculus and stains from teeth

8. Device Comparison
The Piezo Tronic is based on the Piezon Master 400 that was found substantially equivalent on August 31. 1990 (Premarket Notification K896749). The ultrasonic generator and the water delivery systems have by modified in this design, but the patient contact parts, the handpiece and the tip are functionally identical to the Piezon Master 400.
There are basically two differences between the Piezo Tronic and the Piezon Master 400. First, the Piezon Master 400 is designed to allow the use of antimicrobial irrigants. This is accomplished by using an electric pump to draw water from a bottle. to which antimicrobials can be added. The Piezo Tronic is not intended for use with antimicrobial irrigants and therefore gets its' water via a connection to the normal office water supply. Secondly, The Piezon Master 400 incorporates a two position foot switch to allow the user to select either water and ultrasound or ultrasound only. The Plezo Tronic has a single position footswitch that turns the water and ultrasound on together. In these respects the Piezo Tronic is similar to another currently marketed device, the Dentsply Cavitron Bobcat® Ultrasonic Scaler which also used tap water and incorporates a single position footswitch.
