It consists of a console, a footswitch, and an autoclavable handpiece with interchangeable scaling tips. The device uses piezoelectric technology to generate ultrasonic vibrations (27-32 kHz) at the tip to perform scaling and endodontic procedures. Coolant water is supplied via an external source. The device aids in the removal of dental calculi, stains, and periodontal debris, as well as endodontic cleaning and filling. Clinical benefit is derived from the mechanical action of the vibrating tip, which facilitates dental hygiene and endodontic therapy. ## Clinical Evidence Bench testing only. Evidence consists of performance validation comparing scaler tip movement, vibration frequency (27-32 kHz), coolant flow rates (12-82 ml), and water pressure requirements against predicate devices to ensure substantial equivalence. ## Technological Characteristics AC mains-powered piezoelectric ultrasonic scaler. Class II equipment with Type BF applied part. Features a console, footswitch, and autoclavable handpiece with interchangeable tips. Vibration frequency: 27-32 kHz. Coolant flow: 12-82 ml. Water pressure: 14.5-73 psi (1-5 bar). ## Regulatory 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. ## Predicate Devices - Satelec Suprasson P5 Booster ([K961158](/device/K961158.md)) - NSK Varios 350 ([K031421](/device/K031421.md)) ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).
