## Intended Use

Irritrol™ is intended to cleanse and disinfect root canal systems after endodontic instrumentation.

## Device Story

Irritrol™ is an aqueous solution used during the irrigation phase of endodontic root canal preparation. It functions by flushing out debris, disinfecting the canal, and removing the smear layer created during instrumentation. The device is used in a dental clinic setting by a dentist or endodontist. The clinician applies the solution to the root canal system to facilitate cleaning and disinfection, which aids in the success of the root canal procedure and benefits the patient by reducing microbial load and preparing the canal for obturation.

## Clinical Evidence

No clinical data. Evidence consists of bench testing, including biocompatibility testing per ISO 10993, in vitro antimicrobial testing against Enterococcus faecalis, and comparative smear layer removal testing against the predicate device.

## Technological Characteristics

Aqueous liquid solution; clear, green, odorless; slightly basic pH. Shelf life of 2 years. No electronic, software, or mechanical components.

## Predicate Devices

- QMix 2in1 Endodontic Irrigating Solution ([K103244](/device/K103244.md))

Dear Mr. Wan:

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.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls.

### 6. Comparison to Predicate Devices:

A comparison of Irritrol™ and the 510(k) cleared QMix™ 2in1 Endodontic Irrigating Solution indicates the following similarities and differences to the device which received 510(k) clearance:

Irritrol™ is similar to the predicate device QMix™ 2in1 Endodontic Irrigating Solution in that they are both aqueous solutions intended as endodontic irrigants to cleanse and disinfect root canal systems. Two active ingredients contained in the proposed device are also found in the predicate device.

Irritrol 100 is different from the predicate device QMix 100 2in1 Endodontic Irrigating Solution in the secondary components in their respective formulations.

All of the components found in the predicate devices have been used in legally marketed devices and were found safe for dental use. We believe that prior use of components in legally marketed devices, the performance and biocompatibility data provided support the safety and effectiveness of Irritrol™ for the indicated uses.

# 7. Discussion of Non-Clinical Tests Performed for Determination of Substantial Equivalence are as Follows:

Biocompatibility testing, in vitro antimicrobial testing, and smear layer removal testing were conducted to determine equivalence of Irritrol "" to the predicate device QMix 100 2in1 Endodontic Irrigating Solution.

The results of five biocompatibility tests according to ISO 10993 demonstrate equivalence in safety to the predicate device.

{5}------------------------------------------------

The results of comparative in vitro antimicrobial testing between Irritrol™ and QMix™ demonstrate equivalence in their ability to suppress the growth of Enterococcus faecalis.

The results of comparative smear layer removal testing between Irritrol™ and QMix™ demonstrate equivalence in their ability to remove smear layer from instrumented root canals.

## 8. Discussion of Clinical Tests Performed:

Not Applicable

## 9. Conclusions:

Irritrol™ is substantially equivalent to the currently cleared and marketed QMix™ 2in1 Endodontic Irrigating Solution.
