Device Story
430 Torque High-Speed Handpiece Series (SWL fiber optic and SW non-fiber optic versions) are pneumatically driven, handheld dental instruments. Devices connect to ISO Type 2 or 3 quick-disconnect couplers; operate at 350,000–450,000 RPM using 38-43 PSI air pressure. Features include push-button autochuck, lubefree ceramic bearings, and stainless steel/aluminum construction. SWL version includes lead-free, multi-core solid rod fiber optics for oral cavity illumination. Used by dentists for caries/amalgam removal, restorative work, and crown preparation. Higher rotor size compared to predicates provides increased cutting torque (up to 20 watts power; .269 oz.-in. stall torque). Aesthetic modification includes bead-blasted satin finish option. Devices are autoclavable.

### III. PREDICATE DEVICE:
Primary predicate: 430 SW Non-Fiber Optic Handpiece (K902402) Reference predicate: 430 Series High Speed Handpiece (K982593 and K960719)
### IV. DEVICE DESCRIPTION:
The 430 Torque High-Speed Handpiece Series consists of a fiber optic high speed handpiece, marketed as a SWL and a non-fiber optic handpiece, marketed as a SW handpiece. Each is a pneumatically driven hand- held device that is capable of reaching rotational speeds of 350,000 to 450,000 rpms at a recommended air pressure of 38-43 PSI. The series delivers on average up to 20 watts of power providing .269 oz.-in. of stall torque.
The handpieces are constructed of stainless steel, including the internal air and water tubes which provide drive air to the turbine assembly and cooling water to the work site. The stainless steel and aluminum air driven turbine assembly provides spin to the bur, and incorporates lubefree ceramic bearings (K905155) and a push button autochuck. The rotor is larger than the rotor of the predicate, yielding a higher cutting torque.
The fiber optics in the SWL version of the handpiece are lead-free, multi-core glass rod that transmit light from the fiber optic swivel coupler to the oral cavity.
{4}------------------------------------------------
The 430 Torque High-Speed handpiece Series can be assembled to quick disconnect couplers that are ISO Type 3 and ISO Type 2 connections, available as fiber optic or non-fiber optic versions, using a halogen bulb or LED technology. All couplers are autoclavable with the exception of the LED coupler that incorporates the electronics internally.
The following describes the improvements that have been made to the 430 Series High-Speed Handpiece and 430 SW Non-Fiber Optic Handpieces since the last 510(k) clearances, which have also been incorporated into the 430 Torque High-Speed Handpiece Series:
- 1. The fiber-optics used in the SWL version of the handpieces changed from bundled fiber optics to twin-fused solid rod fiber optics.
- 2. The finish of the outer housings on the handpieces has been modified to have a dull appearance (satin) through a process called bead blasting. This is an aesthetic change only and does not affect the performance of the handpiece. The finish of the outer housing on the handpieces continues to be available in the glossy finish as cleared on the predicate devices.
# V. INDICATIONS FOR USE:
The 430 Torque High Speed Handpiece Series are used by trained dental professionals for a variety of procedures including but not limited to caries and amalgam removal, restorative work and crown preparations.
# VI. COMPARISON OF TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS WITH THE PREDICATE DEVICE:
The 430 Torque High-Speed Handpieces and the primary predicate device are both air-driven handpieces used to perform a variety of dental procedures. The proposed devices and the primary predicate device have the same technological characteristics:
- Single water spray without cooling air
- Push button autochuck turbine assembly
- Bur extraction force ●
- Use of the same materials ●
- No lubrication required ●
- Autoclavable
- Connect to coupler allow for ease of rotation on tubing ●
The following technological differences exist between the 430 Torque High-Speed Handpiece and the primary predicate:
- . Free run speed (handpiece speed in RPM with no load applied)
- Power .
- Stall torque ●
{5}------------------------------------------------
The proposed 430 SWL Torque High-Speed Handpiece and the reference predicate device have the same technological similarities and differences as noted above for the primary predicate. In addition, the reference predicate incorporates fiber optics for illumination of the work area. The fiber optics used in the reference predicate device are incorporated in the proposed 430 SWL Torque High-Speed Handpiece.
The following table summarizes the comparison of the 430 Torque High-Speed Handpieces Series to the primary predicate device and reference predicate for indications for use and technological characteristics.
