Intended Use

Drive unit with a piezoceramic oscillating system, which moves the tip in a linear oscillation. The drive unit is used for the removal of supragival calculus and subgingival concretions and for endodontic application and preparation of tooth enamel.

Device Story

Proxeo ULTRA is a dental ultrasonic scaler system comprising a control unit, handpiece, and foot control (wired or wireless via Bluetooth Low Energy). Device converts electrical energy into mechanical linear oscillation of a piezoceramic tip. Used in dental clinics by professionals for calculus removal, endodontics, and enamel preparation. Coolant water is delivered to the treatment site via a solenoid valve. Foot control allows operator adjustment of program, coolant, motor direction, speed, and power. Output is mechanical vibration of the tip, which the clinician uses to perform dental procedures. Benefits include efficient removal of deposits and preparation of tooth structures.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Evidence includes biocompatibility testing per ISO 10993 series, electrical safety and EMC testing per IEC 60601-1 and IEC 60601-1-2, and reprocessing validation per FDA guidance. Functional testing confirmed device performance against specifications.

Technological Characteristics

Piezoceramic oscillating system; 22-35 kHz frequency; 100-230 V power supply; wired/wireless (BLE) foot control; non-sterile delivery; Class II; IEC 60601-1/60601-1-2 compliant. Software follows IEC 62304 (moderate level of concern).

Indications for Use

Indicated for removal of supragingival calculus, subgingival concretions, endodontic applications, and preparation of tooth enamel in dental patients.

Regulatory Classification

Identification
