Device Facts

• Record ID: K013908
• Device Name: WATERLASE MILLENNIUM
• Applicant: Biolase Technology, Inc.
• Product Code: MXF · Dental
• Decision Date: Feb 12, 2002
• Decision: SESE
• Submission Type: Traditional
• Regulation: 21 CFR 872.4120
• Device Class: Class 2
• Attributes: Therapeutic

Intended Use

Class I, II, III, IV and V cavity preparation. Caries removal. Hard tissue surface roughening or etching. Enameloplasty, excavation of pits and fissures for placement of sealants. Cutting, shaving, contouring and resection of oral osseous tissues (bone).

Device Story

Waterlase Millennium is a hydrokinetic tissue cutting system for dental applications. Device uses Er,Cr:YSGG solid-state laser to energize atomized water droplets; laser energy absorption by water causes micro-expansion and acceleration, creating hydrokinetic forces for mechanical tissue removal. System includes flexible fiberoptic handpiece with visible aiming beam. Clinician adjusts optical power and water spray distribution. Used in dental clinics for incision, excision, and ablation of soft and hard tissues, including bone. Output allows for precise, controlled tissue removal, potentially reducing need for traditional mechanical drills and improving patient outcomes through minimally invasive cutting.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical data provided; substantial equivalence based on feature comparison and technological description.

Technological Characteristics

Er,Cr:YSGG solid-state laser; hydrokinetic tissue cutting via laser-energized atomized water; flexible fiberoptic handpiece; visible light aiming beam; user-adjustable optical power and water spray distribution.

Indications for Use

Indicated for dental patients requiring cavity preparation (Class I-V), caries removal, hard tissue etching/roughening, enameloplasty, pit/fissure excavation, and oral osseous tissue surgery. Contraindicated for patients with conditions complicating local procedures, including anesthetic allergies, heart/lung disease, bleeding disorders, sleep apnea, or immune deficiencies.

Regulatory Classification

Identification

A bone cutting instrument and accessories is a metal device intended for use in reconstructive oral surgery to drill or cut into the upper or lower jaw and may be used to prepare bone to insert a wire, pin, or screw. The device includes the manual bone drill and wire driver, powered bone drill, rotary bone cutting handpiece, and AC-powered bone saw.

Rizoiu CONTACT: BioLase Technology, Inc. 981 Calle Amanecer San Clemente, California 92673 [phone] Fax [phone] TRADE NAME: Waterlase Millennium COMMON NAME: Hydrokinetic tissue cutting system CLASSIFICATION NAME: Hydrokinetic device 79 MXF CLASSIFICATION CODE: EQUIVALENT DEVICES: Dental handpiece Dentsply Dental handpiece Star Dental

# DEVICE DESCRIPTION:

Dental handpiece

The Waterlase™ Millennium® hydrokinetic tissue cutting system is a diverse instrument for performing several dental applications. Waterlase™ Millennium® utilizes advanced laser and water atomization technologies to incise, excise and ablate intraoral soft and hard tissues safely and effectively. An erbium, chromium, yttrium, scandium, gallium garnet (Er, Cr.YSGG) solid state laser provides optical energy to a user controlled distribution of atomized water droplets. As the water droplets absorb the optical energy hydrokinetic cutting effects result.

Siemens

The hydrokinetic process refers to the removal of tissues with laser energized water particles. Strong absorption of laser energy by atomized water droplets results in an intense yet controlled water particle micro-expansion and acceleration. The resulting hydrokinetic forces induce mechanical separation of surface material, yielding quick

and clean mechanical tissue removal.

A flexible fiberoptic handpiece delivers the Waterlase™ Millennium's® unique hydrokinetic tissue cutting technology. A visible light emitted from the handpiece distal end pinpoints the area of treatment. The optical power output and atomized water spray distribution may be adjusted to specific user requirements.

#### INDICATIONS FOR USE:

Class I. II. III. IV and V cavity preparations

Caries removal

Hard tissue surface roughening or etching

Enameloplasty, excavation of pits and fissures for placement of sealants

Cutting, shaving, contouring and resection of oral osseous tissues (bone)

### CAUTIONS AND CONTRAINDICATIONS:

All clinical procedures performed with Waterlase™ Millennium® must be subjected to the same clinical judgment and care as with traditional techniques. Patient risk must always be considered and fully understood before clinical treatment. The clinician must completely understand the patient's medical history prior to treatment. Exercise caution for general medical conditions that might contraindicate a local procedure. Such conditions may include allergy to local or topical anesthetics, heart disease, lung disease, bleeding disorders, sleep apnea or an immune system deficiency. Medical clearance from patient's physician is advisable when doubt exists regarding treatment.

#### SUBSTANTIAL EQUIVALENCE:

The clinical results reported in this Premarket Notification and Feature Comparison Table demonstrate that Waterlase Millennium is substantially equivalent to the Dental handpiece in terms of safety and efficacy.
