Indications for Use

This air scaler is intended to remove dental plaque, calculus and stain from tooth surface or root by dental professionals only.

Device Story

Air-powered dental scaler; handpiece design similar to dental turbines; connects to dental treatment unit; activated by compressed air. Compressed air drives internal vibratory cartridge; generates elliptical movement of scaling tip; removes dental calculus, plaque, and stain. Used in dental clinics by dental professionals. Modification includes increased vibration frequency (16,000–17,000 Hz) to reduce noise and improve user/patient comfort; redesigned cartridge allows for field replacement by dental office staff. Benefits include efficient calculus removal with reduced audible noise compared to predicate.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical data. Substantial equivalence supported by bench testing, design control activities, and FMEA risk analysis.

Technological Characteristics

Air-powered dental handpiece; vibration frequency 16,000–17,000 Hz; pneumatic energy source. Complies with ISO 15606 (air-powered scalers), EN 1639 (dental medical devices), and ISO 14971 (risk management). Field-replaceable vibratory cartridge. No software or electronic components.

Indications for Use

Indicated for removal of dental calculus, plaque, or stain from tooth surfaces or roots by dental professionals.

Regulatory Classification

Identification

An ultrasonic scaler is a device intended for use during dental cleaning and periodontal (gum) therapy to remove calculus deposits from teeth by application of an ultrasonic vibrating scaler tip to the teeth.

The basic design of the predicate and modified devices are same: both are made in the shape of handpiece like dental turbines, used on a dental treatment unit and activated by compressed air delivered from the dental unit. The common operation principle to the predicate is used in the modified device: When the compressed air runs into scaler's built-in vibratory cartridge, it generates elliptical movement of the scaling tip mounted. The scaling tip movement removes dental calculus, plaque or stain from teeth. {1}------------------------------------------------ # 6. 510 (k) Summary of Safety and Effectiveness (revised) Page 2/2 510 (k) number k032995 [As required by 21 CFR 807.87 (h) ] Micron Corporation Submitter/Manufacturer: 1-34-14, Higashiyukigaya, Ota-ku, Tokyo, 145-0065 JAPAN Air scaler SSS Product name: #### 6.5 Indications for Use SSS is intended for the applications below in the area of dental treatment by dental professionals. · Removal of dental calculus, plaque or stain #### 6.6 Description of Modification The running noise of SSS is substantially reduced by applying vibration frequency of 16.000 to 17.000 Hz for increased comfort of the user and patient, while the predicate device has frequency of 5,000 to 6,000 Hz and emits audible noise. The vibration cartridge is redesigned so that the user can easily replace in his / her dental office. #### 6.7 Standards Met 1) ISO 15606 : 1999 - Dental handpieces -- Air-powered scalers and scaler tips 2) EN 1639 : 1996 - Dentistry - Medical devices for dentistry - Instruments 3) AAMI / ISO 14971-1 : 1998 - Medical Devices - Risk Management - Part 1: Application of risk analysis (General) #### 6.8 Summary of Design Control Activities The risk analysis method to assess the impact of the modifications was based on a Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA). This analysis built upon the risk analysis of the predicate device. #### 6.9 Substantial Equivalence Conclusion The modified air scaler SSS has the following commonalities to its predicate device: - · the equivalent indication of use, - · the same operating principle applied, - · the same basic product design, - · conformity to the same and similar standards Thus we believe the Micron SSS described in this submission has the substantial equivalence to the predicate device, submitter's VIP 60 air scaler. {2}------------------------------------------------ Image /page/2/Picture/1 description: The image shows the logo for the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services.
