Device Story
Handheld laser fluorescence caries detection device; uses Digital Imaging Fiberoptic Transillumination (DIFOTI) principle. Internal laser diode (788 nm) transmits light through tooth structure; carious lesions block light, appearing as dark areas on digital images. CCD sensor captures images; USB connection provides power and data transfer to computer. Used in dentist's office/clinic by dentists. Software displays real-time video (live stream) and static images on monitor; allows image storage. Enables visualization of dental structures without ionizing radiation; assists dentists in identifying and monitoring decay/cracks; facilitates clinical decision-making regarding treatment planning.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data. Substantial equivalence supported by bench testing, including electrical safety (IEC 60601-1, UL 60601-1), electromagnetic compatibility, and biocompatibility studies. Software performance confirmed via validation testing.

Date Summary Prepared: September, 24th 2013
#### Device Name:
- Trade Name DIAGNOcam 2170 .
- Common Name Caries detector, laser light, transmission ●
- Classification Name Laser fluorescence caries detection device, per 21 CFR § 872.1745 .
#### Devices for Which Substantial Equivalence is Claimed:
- DIFOTI USB 2.0 SYSTEM (K043068) .
- . Transillumination Cable Ti2200 (K071429)
#### Device Description:
The DIAGNOcam 2170 is a handheld laser fluorescence caries detection device which uses the DIFOTI technology (Digital Imaging Fiberoptic Transillumination) as the functional principle. KaVo DIAGNOcam 2170 delivers images, which are reminiscent of X-rays but which are completely radiation free - by means of a light that is especially adapted to this examination method. The tooth structures allow the passage of light from the entry site to the camera. Areas that block light transmission (e.g. carious lesions) show up clearly as well delimited, dark areas. A digital camera captures the actual situation and makes it visible in real-time on the screen. The USB connector provides electric power to the unit. The DIAGNOcam 2170 will be delivered with a firmware (unit) at the handheld device which is responsible for steering of the camera functions and a computer based software (image) which is responsible to show / display the pictures, store / save the pictures and the possibility of a life stream. The internal laser diode generates an exact wavelength being detectable by the CCD sensor. The DIAGNOcam 2170 follows the international standards for electrical safety and electromagnetic compatibility which are applicable for the use with human beings. The DIAGNOcam 2170 works with a laser wavelength at 788 nm and an output power of 2mW for each laser diode (2 sources). The maximum output power is 21mW/cm2.
{1}------------------------------------------------
The life stream describes a way how the dentist can use the DIAGNOcam 2170. So it is possible to use the DIAGNOcam 2170 to see life images of the teeth and not only to have the possibility to make single pictures. While using the DIAGNOcam 2170 at the teeth the dentist can see real pictures / a video on his monitor.
The tips of the DIAGNOcam 2170 can be sterilized according to the instructions for use. Two tips (small & large) are supplied with the handheld device. Additionally the DIAGNOcam 2170 will be supplied with a holder for the device. This holder allows the dentist to deposit the DIAGNOcam 2170 in a safe position. The holder is intended to be used outside the treatment for general storage.
#### Intended Use of the Device:
The DIAGNOcam 2170 is a diagnostic aid for the detection of open or incipient caries lesions above the gingiva and for monitoring the progress of such lesions.
Indications:
- Detection of smooth surface caries .
- . Detection of occlusal carries
- Detection of proximal caries .
- . Detection of initial caries
- Detection of secondary caries .
- Detection of cracks .
The device is intended for use in a dentist's office or dental clinic.
#### Substantial Equivalence:
The DIAGNOcam 2170 handheld laser fluorescence caries detection device is substantially equivalent to other legally marketed devices in the United States. The DIAGNOcam 2170 functions in a manner similar to and is intended for the same use as the DIFOTI USB 2.0 SYSTEM marketed by Electro-Optical Sciences, inc. and to the Transillumination Cable Ti2200 marketed by Kerr Corporation. The DIAGNOcam 2170 is similar to all three predicate devices in that it is a handheld laser fluorescence caries detection device which uses the transillumination as the functional principle. As the DIFOTI USB 2.0 SYSTEM an internal light source (laser diode) is used to generate the exact wavelength being detectable by the CCD sensor, a USB connection supplies the DIAGNOcam 2170 with power and additional to that the DIFOTI USB 2.0 SYSTEM works with software consisting of a product firmware and a computer based software, which is responsible to show / display the pictures, to store / save the pictures, for the possibility of a life stream and for steering of the camera function.

The DIAGNOcam 2170 differs from the Transillumination Cable Ti2200 in that the DIAGNOcam 2170 uses an internal light source and a USB connection. Furthermore does the Transillumination Cable Ti2200 not have software and it is not a handheld device by itself. The DIAGNOcam 2170 differs from both predicate devices in that the DIAGNOcam 2170 has autoclaveable tips (small & large).
