Intended Use

The Air Solfy can be used to remove calculus deposits from teeth by application of an air-powered vibrating scaler tip from the teeth during dental cleaning and periodontal therapy.

Device Story

Air Solfy is an air-powered dental handpiece scaler used for removing calculus deposits during dental cleaning and periodontal therapy. The device connects to a dental unit, receiving air for the high-speed air turbine, cooling water for the scaling site, and an optional light source for illumination. It operates by converting air energy into mechanical vibration of a scaler tip, which is applied to the tooth surface. Cooling water is delivered through pouring holes to the treatment area. The device is used in a clinical dental setting by a dentist or dental hygienist. It is available in various configurations, including options for integrated light and power adjustment, and is designed to be autoclavable. The output is the mechanical vibration of the tip, which facilitates the physical removal of calculus, aiding in periodontal health.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical data provided. Substantial equivalence is based on bench testing and compliance with international standard ISO 15606:1999.

Technological Characteristics

Air-powered dental handpiece; energy source: compressed air from dental unit; cooling water delivery system; optional integrated light source; optional power adjuster; autoclavable; compliant with ISO 15606:1999; connection types include MORITA original joint or ISO 9168 type C coupling.

Indications for Use

Indicated for removal of calculus deposits from teeth during dental cleaning and periodontal therapy. For use by dental professionals.

Regulatory Classification

Identification

A dental handpiece and accessories is an AC-powered, water-powered, air-powered, or belt-driven, hand-held device that may include a foot controller for regulation of speed and direction of rotation or a contra-angle attachment for difficult to reach areas intended to prepare dental cavities for restorations, such as fillings, and for cleaning teeth.

The Air Solfy can be used to remove calculus deposits from teeth by application of an air-powered vibrating scaler tip from the teeth during dental cleaning and periodontal therapy. ## Technological Characteristics and Substantial Equivalence This device receives energy resorces in handpiece such as air for high speed air turbine, cooling water for scaling and light source for illumination, through the tubes connected to a dental unit. The cooling water is fed on the part of scaling treatment through pouring holes. Air Solfy is classified into the model as is shown below Table-1 from the variations of connection, light or power adjuster. {1}------------------------------------------------ | ml:<br>1<br>1 | €<br>1<br>1 | | |---------------|-------------|--| | | | | | Table-1 | Model of Air Solfy | |---------|--------------------| |---------|--------------------| | | | | ( - : not included ) | | |-----------|------------------|----------|----------------------|--------------| | Model | Connection | Light | Power<br>Adjuster | Autoclave | | AS-1 | They can be | - | - | | | AS-1-O | connected to the | Included | - | Autoclavable | | AS-1 V | MORITA original | - | Included | | | AS-1-O V | a joint. | Included | Included | | | AS-4H | They can be | - | - | | | AS-4H-O | connected to the | Included | - | Autoclavable | | AS-4H V | CP4 or CP4-O | - | Included | | | AS-4H-O V | coupling.

Specifically, Air Solfy is substantially equivalent to the Siroair L air marketed do from Sirona dental syatem , Inc(K#033812). Air Solfy has similar general seater "from Birona contraciples of operation, and similar technological characteristics as the previously cleared predicate device, Siroair L air scaler. Although we cannot compare specifications of them minutely as we have not obtained Andrough Tre Sailfor sons of Siroair L, but we are able to figure out the specifications und equivalence as there exists a common international standard on the dental airand equivaliere of ISO 15606. Air Solfy is in compliance with ISO 15606:1999. The Air Solfy's substantial equivalence to Siroair L is demonstrated at Comparison Summary Table as below. Although there are minor differences in the characteristics of Air Solfy and its predicate device, these differences do not raise new questions of safety or effectiveness. {2}------------------------------------------------ | FDA file reference number | 510k number<br>K033812 | |-----------------------------------------------------|------------------------| | Attachment inside notification submission file | 510k FDA | | TECHNOLOGICAL<br>CHARACTERISTICS | Comparison result | | Indication for use | Identical | | Target population | Identical | | Design | Similar | | Materials | Similar | | Performance | Similar | | Sterility | Similar | | Biocompatibility | Similar | | Mechanical safety | Similar | | Chemical safety | Similar | | Anatomical sites | Similar | | Human factors | Similar | | Energy used and/or delivered | Similar | | Compatibility with environment<br>and other devices | Similar | | Where used | Identical | | Standards met | Similar | | Electrical safety | Similar | | Thermal safety | Not applicable | | Radiation safety | Not applicable | ## Substantial Equivalent comparison table {3}------------------------------------------------ DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH & HUMAN SERVICES Image /page/3/Picture/1 description: The image shows the logo for the Department of Health and Human Services, USA.
