## Intended Use

The i-ROOT 100 is intended for measuring the length of the root canal for the purpose of performing root canals and related dental procedures

## Device Story

i-ROOT 100 is an electronic apex locator used by dental professionals to measure root canal length. The device consists of a main unit, lip clip, cable assembly, and file holders. It operates by measuring electrical impedance at specific frequencies (500 Hz and 5 kHz) to determine the position of the file tip within the root canal. The device provides visual feedback via a graph and audible feedback via a buzzer to indicate the proximity of the file to the apex. This information assists the clinician in accurately determining the working length during endodontic procedures, potentially improving the precision of root canal treatments. The device is powered by three 1.5V AA alkaline batteries.

## Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Performance was verified through documented procedures compliant with ISO 9001, ISO 13485, and Medical Device Directives 93/42/EEC. Accuracy is specified at ±0.5mm.

## Technological Characteristics

Electronic apex locator; uses 500 Hz and 5 kHz frequencies; patient auxiliary current <10 µA; accuracy ±0.5mm; power consumption <0.27VA; powered by 3x 1.5V AA alkaline batteries; includes main unit, lip clip, cable assembly, and file holders.

Dear Ms. Nam:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.
