The AIR-N-GO indications for use are similar to the EMS AIR-FLOW MASTER for (PERIO) sub-gingival dental applications (PERIO) and supra-gingival dental applications (SUPRA). ## Does New Device Have Same Technological Characteristics, e.g., Design, Materials, etc.? The AIR-N-GO is the same as the EMS AIR-FLOW handy PERIO (K092289) predicate device in terms of principle. Both systems consist of a dental handbiece intended for the projection of a mixture of air, water and dental powder on the surface of teeth in subgingival dental applications. Also, both systems are composed of a fank, and lid tank and PERIO Nozzle. Both systems are connected to dental operative units with a turbine connector. The AIR-N-GO is the same principle as the EMS AIR-FLOW handy 2 (K022119) predicate device in terms of principle. Both systems consist of a dental handpiece intended for the projection of a mixture of air, water and dental powder on the surface of teeth in supragingival dental application. Also, both systems are composed of a tank, and lid tank and 90° and 120° SUPRA Nozzle. Both systems are connected to dental operative units with a turbine connector. The AIR-N-GO is the same principle as the EMS AIR-FLOW MASTER (K082791) predicate device in terms of principle. Both systems consist of a dental handpiece intended for the projection of a mixture of air, water and dental powder on the surface of teeth in supragingival dental application and sub-gingival dental applications. Both systems can be used for supra-gingival dental application and sub-gingival dental applications. ### Is there a Summary of the non-clinical testing? The evaluation was to demonstrate the substantial equivalence of the AIR-N-GO device and these selected predicates. In order to facilitate the evaluation, the devices were categorized in two groups according to their clinical applications: SUPRA for supra-gingival application and SUB for Sub-gingival application. For the supra-gingival applications, the AIR-N-GO and the predicates have been tested on the upper jaw central incisor of a dental study model. A coat of varnish has been applied repeatedly on the same tooth or implant and each device has been used to remove it. The results obtained are quite similar between each system. The varnish was completely eliminated and the tooth surface treated remained intact. In terms of time efficiency the main difference remains on the use of the supra handpiece of the tabletop unit. It can be explained by the fact the device receives a pressure which is fairly high compared to the turbine connection systems. No other danger was observed. Version 4 {6}------------------------------------------------ # 510(k) Pre-Market Notification for AIR-N-GO By SATELEC For the sub-gingival application the AIR-N-GO and the predicates have been be tested first on the root of the upper jaw central incisor of a dental study model . Then, the devices have been be tested on an implant replica located on the lower jaw molar. The varnish has been applied up to 5 mm. The devices have been used to remove varnish on root tooth or implant to verify the effectiveness and integrity of surface. The nozzle has been inserted up to 5mm in the pocket. The results obtained are quite similar between each system. There are no significant differences of the efficiency of removal of varnish between tooth and implant. ## Could the New Characteristics Affect Safety or Effectiveness? The AIR-N-GO is not a clinical innovation and the use is very well known by the practitioners. The AIR-N-GO is the same as the identified predicates in terms of clinical application. Also the used technologies and characteristics are similar to the predicates. The characteristics of the AIR-N-GO used with recommended dental powders do not affect the Safety of the patients or of the operator. Moreover, the A/R-N-GO device it is substantially equivalent to the declared predicate devices. ## Conclusion Based on the intended use and the technical characteristics of, the AIR-N-GO device it is substantially equivalent to the declared predicate devices. {7}------------------------------------------------ # DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH & HUMAN SERVICES Image /page/7/Picture/1 description: The image shows the logo for the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services.
