Device replaces standard dental unit water supply to ensure sterility. System utilizes connector assembly and pinch valve assembly; compressed air controls pinch valve; electrical signal controls solenoid valves. Used in dental clinics by trained dental professionals. Autoclavable components allow for sterilization. Provides sterile irrigation to prevent contamination during surgery. ## Clinical Evidence No clinical data; bench testing only. ## Technological Characteristics System consists of connector assembly and pinch valve assembly. Materials are similar to predicate water delivery systems. Operation uses compressed air for pinch valve control and electrical signals for solenoid valves. Components are autoclavable. ## Regulatory 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. ## Predicate Devices - Steri Water System (Waggoner Dental Manufacturing) - AquaSept (Lares) - Surgic II (NSK) - Suprasson P Max (Satelec) - Suni (Satelec) - Water delivery systems (Baxter) - Water delivery systems (Abbott Labs) ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).

CONFIDENTIAL #### Description/Intended Use: The StarDental® Air Controlled Sterile Irrigation System is used intra-orally by trained dental professionals for delivery of sterile water for oral surgical procedures as a replacement irrigating solution to the dental operative unit's water supply, specifically for cooling a dental rotary instrument. #### Substantial Equivalence: The Air Controlled Sterile Irrigation System as submitted is substantially equivalent to SteriWater, AquaSept and Surgic II currently being marketed by Waggoner Dental Manufacturing, Lares and NSK and additionally substantially equivalent to Suprasson P Max and Suni currently being marketed by Satelec and other water delivery systems currently being marketed by Baxter and Abbott Labs. Materials used to manufacture the components are similar. Means of operation are similar, compressed air controls the pinch valve while electrical signal controls the solenoid valves. The main difference in design is that the Air Controlled Sterile Irrigation System consists of a connector assembly and pinch valve assembly which can be autoclaved as compared to a SteriWater which must be disassembled and autoclaved and also infusion pumps that utilize disposable components. {1}------------------------------------------------ Image /page/1/Picture/1 description: The image is a black and white seal for the Department of Health & Human Services - USA.
