The device description focuses on physical filtration and chemical disinfection using iodinated resin and a polyolefin filter. There is no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate the use of AI or ML.
No
The device is used to reduce bacteria and particulate in dental unit water lines for instruments, not to directly treat a patient's disease or condition.
No
The device is a water purification cartridge for dental unit water lines intended to reduce bacteria and biofilm. It does not diagnose any condition or disease.
No
The device description clearly states it is a physical cartridge containing iodinated resin and a polyolefin filter, which are hardware components.
Based on the provided information, the DentaPure® DP40 Cartridge is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is to reduce bacteria in dental unit water lines to improve water quality for patient safety during dental procedures. This is a water treatment device, not a device used to examine specimens derived from the human body for the purpose of providing information for diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment.
- Device Description: The device description details a filter and iodinated resin that treats water flowing through it. This aligns with a water purification or treatment function, not an in vitro diagnostic function.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples, detecting specific analytes in those samples, or providing diagnostic information.
Therefore, the DentaPure® DP40 Cartridge falls outside the definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic device.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use
The DentaPure® DP40 Cartridge is for use on dental unit water lines attached to the dynamic dental instruments, i.e., high-speed handpiece, three-way air/water syringe and ultrasonic scaler. This cartridge in conjunction with currently recommended practices regarding sterilization and flushing of dental instruments reduces bacteria from the water supplied through the instruments to a level that will meet or exceed the current ADA recommendations for water quality having a maximum of 200 cfu/ml.

Device Description
The DentaPure® DP40 Cartridge is an in-line assembly incorporating iodinated resin and a polyolefin filter. The cartridge is connected to the pickup tube of a bottle water system. A schematic of the cartridge is shown in Figure 2. It consists of a polyolefin in-line filter with the inner chamber filled with an iodinated ion exchange resin that imparts 2-6 ppm of iodine into the water as it flows through. The resin is registered with EPA. The filter portion is of a sufficiently small porosity to retain water-born particulate, and would thereby reduce the amount of particulate that would reach the patient from the dental water system. The iodine that is released reduces biofilm and the chance of cross contamination by introducing the germicide, iodine, into the water system downstream of the filter. The DentaPure® Cartridge is a disposable unit, retrofittable to all modern dental operatory units with independent bottle water systems. The cartridge is installed in the bottle reservoir tubing with quick connect fittings for ease of change.

§ 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.

Device Description and Intended Use:
The DentaPure® DP40 Cartridge is an in-line assembly incorporating iodinated resin and a polyolefin filter. The cartridge is connected to the pickup tube of a bottle water system. This is illustrated in Figure 1.
A schematic of the cartridge is shown in Figure 2. It consists of a polyolefin in-line filter with the inner chamber filled with an iodinated ion exchange resin that imparts 2-6 ppm of iodine into the water as it flows through. The resin is registered with EPA. The

filter portion is of a sufficiently small porosity to retain water-born particulate, and would thereby reduce the amount of particulate that would reach the patient from the dental water system. The iodine that is released reduces biofilm and the chance of cross contamination by introducing the germicide, iodine, into the water system downstream of the filter.
The DentaPure® Cartridge is a disposable unit, retrofittable to all modern dental operatory units with independent bottle water systems. The cartridge is installed in the bottle reservoir tubing with quick connect fittings for ease of change.
The instructions for use of the DentaPure® Cartridge require that the dental instruments be sterilized in conformity with current recommendations for sterilization and flushing. When used in conjunction with these normal practices, the DentaPure® DP40 Cartridges commonly reduce bacteria levels to less than 100 cfiv/ml. Current recommendations of the ADA recommend having less than 200 cfu/ml in dental unit water lines, so this device exceeds those recommendations.
