Regulatory Class: I Product Code: EFB
### III. PREDICATE DEVICE
Primary predicate: 430 Torque High Speed Handpiece Series (K153411) Reference device: Concentrix MX-AC High-Speed Handpiece (K173465)
### IV. DEVICE DESCRIPTION:
The SD500 High-Speed Handpiece Series includes a fiber optic high speed handpiece, to be marketed as a SD500 Elite Handpiece and a non-fiber optic handpiece, to be marketed as a SD500 Pro Handpiece. Both the Elite and the Pro versions are available as lubefree or lubricated turbine handpieces. Each is a pneumatically driven handheld device with multiport water spray that is capable of reaching rotational speeds of 367,200 – 448,800 rpms at a recommended air pressure of 38 to 43 PSI. The series delivers a range of 39 - 50 watts of power providing .28 oz.-in. of stall torque at 43 psi. 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 handpiece also uses PEEK in its construction.
The handpieces incorporate either a lubefree ceramic bearing turbine assembly or a lubricated ceramic bearing turbine assembly. Both versions of the turbine assembly use a push button autochuck. The stainless steel and aluminum air driven turbine assembly provides rotation to the bur.
{4}------------------------------------------------
The SD500 High-Speed Handpiece Series uses a quick disconnect coupler that allows easy connection to the dental line delivery tubing. This coupler allows for easy rotation of the handpieces when attached to the tubing. These couplers include both fiber optic and nonfiber optic versions with Type 3 or 2 connections. The fiber optic version uses LED technology to deliver the light to the handpiece. All couplers are autoclavable.
The burs used with the SD500 High Speed Handpiece Series are ISO 1797-1, type 2 burs. Only burs with hardened, tempered steel shanks or carbide shanks should be used.
All handpieces in this series incorporate RFID (radio frequency identification) technology. This passive RFID tag does not have a built-in energy source. The RFID tag will allow the practitioner to track the device within the office only if the practitioner has a separate reader. A reader will enable the practitioner to track such things as usage and maintenance.
### V. INDICATIONS FOR USE
The SD500 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 SD500 High Speed Handpiece Series and the primary predicate device have the same technological characteristics:
- Intended use
- Method of operation
- Use of the same base materials for the stainless steel components ●
- Autoclavable
The following technological differences exist between the SD500 High Speed Handpiece Series and the predicate:
- Multi-port spray
- . RFID technology
The proposed SD500 High Speed Handpiece Series and the reference device have the same technological similarities and differences as noted above for the primary predicate. In addition, the reference device incorporates a lubricated turbine assembly in the handpiece. This lubricated turbine will be incorporated into the lubricated version of the proposed handpiece.
The difference between the proposed devices and the primary predicate device is the number of water spray ports, addition of RFID technology and the addition of PEEK (Polyether Ether Ketone) to the base materials. These differences do not affect the performance or safety of the device.
The following table summarizes the comparison of the proposed SD500 High Speed Handpiece Series to the primary predicate device and the reference device for use and technological characteristics.
