Intended Use
The S.S. White Technologies 6500 Series Air Abrasion Devices are used for cavity preparation in Classes I, II, III, IV, and V. The uses include removal of tooth structure and restorative dental materials, and site preparation for pit and fissure sealant therapy and bonding of porcelain and ceramic. They are also used for restoration prophylaxis.
Device Description
The 6500-D, 6500-E, and 6500-F are pneumatic devices which combine pressurized air and abrasive powder (e.g. aluminum oxide or sodium bicarbonate) to produce a high velocity stream of particles to perform dental restorative procedures. The abrasive particulate is delivered via a small handpiece which is approximately the size of a dental drill handpiece. The systems are designed for ease of service and maintenance with a readily accessible refillable container for the particulate supply.

Not Found

No
The device description and intended use describe a purely mechanical/pneumatic system for air abrasion. There is no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or data analysis that would indicate the use of such technologies.

No.
The device is used for mechanical procedures like cavity preparation and removal of tooth structure, not for treating a disease or condition in a therapeutic sense.

No
The device description and intended use clearly state that it is used for "cavity preparation," "removal of tooth structure and restorative dental materials," and "site preparation" using "pressurized air and abrasive powder." These are all therapeutic or preparatory procedures, not diagnostic ones.

No

The device description clearly states it is a pneumatic device that combines pressurized air and abrasive powder delivered via a handpiece, indicating it is a hardware-based medical device.

No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information about a person's health. This testing is done outside of the body (in vitro).
  • Device Function: The S.S. White Technologies 6500 Series Air Abrasion Devices are used directly on the tooth structure for physical procedures like cavity preparation and material removal. They do not analyze biological specimens.

The device description and intended use clearly indicate it's a tool for performing dental procedures in vivo (within the living body), not for diagnostic testing of samples in vitro.

Device Name:

6500 Series Air Abrasion Systems

Predicate Devices:

KV-1, K#940776 (Kreativ, San Diego, CA), Mach Series, K#980216 (Kreativ, San Diego, CA), K#921748 (American Dental Technologies, Troy, MI), Microetcher, K#902836 (Danville Engineering) and the MicroPrep Cavity Preparation System, K#932997 (Sunrise Technologies, Inc.)

Device and Indications for Use:

The 6500-D, 6500-E, and 6500-F are pneumatic devices which combine pressurized air and abrasive powder (e.g. aluminum oxide or sodium bicarbonate) to produce a high velocity stream of particles to perform dental restorative procedures. The abrasive particulate is delivered via a small handpiece which is approximately the size of a dental drill handpiece. The systems are designed for ease of service and maintenance with a readily accessible refillable container for the particulate supply.

The 6500-D, 6500-E, and 6500-F are used for cavity preparation in Classes I, II, III, IV, and V. The uses include removal of tooth structure and restorative dental materials, and site preparation for pit and fissure sealant therapy and bonding of porcelain and ceramic. They are also used for restoration prophylaxis.

Discussion:

Since the intended use and technical specifications of the 6500-D, 6500-E, and 6500-F are virtually identical to the predicate devices, and the differences in the devices only serve to make them marketable, we believe the 6500 Series devices are substantially equivalent to the predicate devices and can be marketed under section 510(k) of the FD & C Act.
