Rockwell St. Chicago, IL 60618 Tel. 773-975-6100 Fax 773-868-3558 Date Prepared 03/30/07 Device Name Trade name Common name Classification name Symmetry IQ Dental Ultrasonic Scaler Ultrasonic Scaler Legally marketed Devices to which equivalence is claimed: Nakanishi, Inc. Varios 150/350/550 K031421 Description of the device The Hu-Friedy® brand Symmetry IQ Ultrasonic Scalers are similar to the Ultrasonic Scalers of the predicate device listed above. These devices are intended for use by dental professionals only. These devices generate ultrasonic vibrations intended for use in dental applications such as scaling, periodontal therapy, root canal treatment and cavity preparation. Hu-Friedy will purchase the generators from NSK, Inc. (Nakanishi) and own brand private label the device. The modifications to the Hu-Friedy product are cosmetic in nature and consist mainly of new shape and design to the housing of the control unit. All of the internal electrical and technical specifications are identical to the marketed NSK units. Hu- Section 5-1 pg 1 {1}------------------------------------------------ K070975 282 Friedy currently has a 510k (K053178) approval for the Symmetry line of piezoelectric tips that are compatible with Satelec and NSK piezoelectric ultrasonic scalers. The addition of the Symmetry IQ generators and handpiece will complete our ultrasonic piezo scaling product line. The Symmetry IQ Ultrasonic Scalers have essentially the same design as the predicate device's ultrasonic generators. The Symmetry IQ 2000 series is equivalent to the Varios 150 Lux (Optic), which is an integrated version of the Varios 350 Lux (Optic) to be used in the delivery tray table as a built in system. The Symmetry IO 3000 series is equivalent to the combination of the Varios 550 control unit with the handpiece used in the Varios 350 Lux (Optic). The Symmetry IQ 3000 unit is based on the NSK Varios 560 which is currently pending FDA 510k approval. The addition of a silicone grip to the ultrasonic generator handpiece used in both models is the only significant change and the reason for the new 510k application. Hu-Friedy performed laboratory tests such as a sterilization study of the handpiece (study #582), biocompatibility testing of the silicone grip(study #574) and ISO 22374 life testing(study#579) of the ultrasonic unit to determine the safety of the Symmetry IQ generators and handpiece. The decision to private label NSK ultrasonic generators was made after market research and a focus group study(study #581) were conducted by Hu-Friedy. The key features of the Varios line of NSK scalers such as fiber-optic lighted handpieces, easy to read touchpad controls, quick connect components and broad range of power settings met the Hu-Friedy customer requirements.
