Device Story
Oral-B Sonic Complete is a rechargeable electric toothbrush for home use. Device consists of an inductively charged power handle and a vibrating brush head. Brush head oscillates side-to-side at 260 Hz (± 5 degrees). Features include a pressure control system that reduces bristle movement at loads above 2 N to prevent gingival damage, and a professional timer that provides a stuttering signal every 30 seconds to facilitate quadrant-based brushing. Models offer multiple modes: Clean, Soft, and Massage. Users operate the device to perform oral hygiene; the mechanical action of the bristles removes plaque and stimulates gums. The device is intended to improve oral health outcomes by treating and preventing gingivitis.
Clinical Evidence
Multiple controlled clinical studies evaluated oral soft and hard tissue safety, plaque removal, gingivitis, and bleeding. Results demonstrate the device is effective at treating and preventing gingivitis. Specific studies cited include a 90-day clinical comparison of safety and efficacy and an experimental gingivitis healing study.
Technological Characteristics
Rechargeable electric toothbrush with inductive charging. Brush head: 22mm x 9mm, nylon filaments (6 and 6.5 mil), Polyamid/PA6.12 material. Vibrating mechanism: 260 Hz, ± 5 degrees. Pressure control: mechanical load-sensing (decreases movement > 2 N). Timer: 30-second interval stuttering alert. Complies with UL 1431. Thermoplastic enclosure.
Indications for Use
Indicated for individuals seeking to promote oral hygiene, remove plaque, and treat or prevent gingivitis. Suitable for over-the-counter use.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A powered toothbrush is an AC-powered or battery-powered device that consists of a handle containing a motor that provides mechanical movement to a brush intended to be applied to the teeth. The device is intended to remove adherent plaque and food debris from the teeth to reduce tooth decay.

# Device Description and Technological Characteristics:
Oral-B® Sonic Complete™ is a rechargeable electric toothbrush comprised of a charging unit and a rechargeable power handle. The rechargeable power unit is inductively charged and therefore electrically safe in accordance with the Second Edition of the standard for Personal Hygiene and Health Care appliances, UL 1431. The Oral-B® Sonic Complete™ electric toothbrush has a vibrating brush head that moves with a side-to-side movement. The brush head is designed to facilitate deeper penetration of interdental areas. The brush head moves side along the axis of the brush head at 260 Hz at an unloaded angle of ± 5 degrees. The brush head has no moving parts and is similar to a manual brush.
The Oral-B® Sonic Complete™ has a longitudinal brush head with a length of 22 mm and a width of a 9mm. The tufts are angled in 3 directions. The inner row with oval tufts and the outer rows are angled in opposite directions at an angle of 7.5 degrees. In addition, the outer rows are angled outwards for improved gumline cleaning at an angle of 5 degrees. The bristles are standard nylon filaments with a diameter of 6 and 6.5 mil. Two rows of bristles are longer and form a power tip for improved interproximal cleaning. These power tips have a wear indicator function and are colored with the FDA approved colorant FD&C blue No.2. The bristle material is Polyamid or PA6.12.

# 510{k} SUMMARY Cont'd
The Oral-B® Sonic Complete™ features a Pressure Control to help avoid possible gingival damage by users who apply excessive pressure during brushing; the drive system and the soft bristles are designed so that the bristle tip movement dramatically decreases to almost zero at applied loads above 2 N. It also features a Professional Timer and a Push-Push switch. The Professional Timer automatically interrupts the brushing motion briefly with a short stuttering sound every 30 seconds to remind the user to move to another quadrant of the mouth, so that each quadrant is brushed equally. At the moment we only have a "stuttering timer" as described, however there soon will be a version sounding a "beeping noise" after 2 minutes brushing time, Oral-B® Sonic Complete™ offers customized brushing modes for complete mouth care. The basic godel offers two modes and the deluxe model offers three modes controlled by the Push switch: Clears for a complete cleaning of your teeth and gums, Soft: for the gentle care of your tongue and other sensitive areas, and Massage: (deluxe model only) for a gentle stimulation of gums. The toothbrush features a round handle, with anti-slip characteristics for better control in wet conditions.
While power toothbrushes are 510(k) exempt device, we believe the expanded indication for use of treating and preventing gingivitis may exceed the limitation for 510(k) exemption. The expanded indications for use (i.e., treating and preventing gingivitis) are the only changes from the currently marketed device Oral-B® Sonic Complete™ . There are no changes to the design, materials or manufacturing process of this device.
#### Indications for Use:
To promote good oral hygiene, including plaque removal and treating and preventing gingivitis.
#### Testing:
Oral-B® ® Sonic Complete™ powered toothbrush has been tested in numerous controlled clinical studies. These trials evaluated oral soft and hard tissue for safety, plaque, gingivitis and bleeding. Collectively, these studies demonstrate that the Oral-B® Sonic Complete™ powered toothbrush is effective at treating and preventing gingivitis,
Quality assurance testing on the Oral-B® Sonic Complete™ electric toothbrush has been conducted to ensure the integrity of products.
Oral-B® Sonic Complete™ product is a rechargeable battery operated toothbrush. The toothbrush handle is inductively charged so there is no electrical connection between the charger and handle. All electrical components are housed within thermoplastic enclosures and the provided with a Listed 1flexible supply cord terminating in a parallel blade attachment plug for connection to a nominal 100-120 V, 50-60 Hz supply source.
Oral-B® Sonic Complete™ products are evaluated and comply with the applicable requirements to bear the Underwriters Laboratories Inc. Mark (UL 1431).
#### Conclusions:
The results from these tests support the safety and effectiveness of Oral-B® Sonic Complete™ power toothbrush and its substantial equivalence to the predicate device without raising new safety or effectiveness issues.
