Input: compressed air from dental unit supply hose. Transformation: electronic circuitry converts air pressure to electrical signal; footswitch pressure modulates air flow, controlling micromotor rotational speed (1,000–40,000 rpm). Output: electrical power to handpiece; variable intensity light; rotational direction control. Used in dental clinics; operated by dental professionals. Features include adjustable speed ranges and a detachable 'satellite' control panel for improved accessibility. Benefits include enabling use of electric handpieces on existing pneumatic dental units. ## Clinical Evidence Bench testing only. Validation included electrical safety, electromagnetic compatibility, and functional testing of hardware and software components. ## Technological Characteristics System includes supply/control unit, hoses, cables, transformer, and electric micromotors. Converts pneumatic pressure to electrical energy. Features user-adjustable speed control (1,000-40,000 rpm), clockwise/counter-clockwise rotation, and variable light intensity. Satellite control panel option available. Connectivity via dental treatment center pneumatic supply. ## Regulatory Identification A dental handpiece and accessories is an AC-powered, water-powered, air-powered, or belt-driven, hand-held device that may include a foot controller for regulation of speed and direction of rotation or a contra-angle attachment for difficult to reach areas intended to prepare dental cavities for restorations, such as fillings, and for cleaning teeth. ## Predicate Devices - Bell International Mark 20 and Mark 25 Hand Engine Controller ([K964860](/device/K964860.md)) ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).

SPONSOR Sirona Dental Systems GmbH Fabrikstrasse 31 D-64625 Bensheim Germany Contact Person: Fritz Kolle Telephone: 49 6251 16 32 94 Date Prepared: May 1, 2003 ### 2. Device Name | Proprietary Name: | SiroTorque L | |----------------------|---------------------------------------| | Common/Usual Name: | Energy conversion and controller unit | | Classification Name: | Dental Handpiece and Accessories | ### 3. PREDICATE DEVICES Bell International Mark 20 and Mark 25 Hand Engine Controller (K964860) ### INTENDED USE 4. The SiroTorque L is intended to convert pneumatic output from a dental treatment center to electrical energy for operation of electrically-driven dental handpieces. ### DEVICE DESCRIPTION ડ. The SiroTorque L is composed of a supply / control unit, supply hoses, connection cables, a transformer and two alternative electric micromotors. The pneumatic outlet from the dental treatment unit, which would be the supply hose for an air-driven instrument (e.g., a high speed handpiece or an air motor), provides the input to the SiroTorque L supply / control unit. The electronic circuitry within the SiroTorque L {1}------------------------------------------------ converts the air pressure input to an electrical signal, which is output to the supply hose for the handpiece electric micromotor. The handpiece electric micromotor is activated using the footswitch of the existing dental operative unit. As the footswitch is pressed farther down, the pressure of the compressed air supply increases, which in turn increases the rotational speed of the micromotor. The permissible speed range is adjustable by the user from 1,000 to 40,000 rpm, although the highest speeds are only attainable if the compressed air supply has a pressure of at least 3 bars. The minimum and maximum speeds are displayed and can be adjusted using the SiroTorque L control panel. The SiroTorque L also provides the user with the following features: - . Selection of clockwise and counter-clockwise rotation of the dental handpieces - Variable intensity handpiece light . - "Satellite" version: The control panel of the SiroTorque L can be separated . from the supply / control unit and mounted so as to be more easily accessible for the user ## BASIS FOR SUBSTANTIAL EQUIVALENCE 6. The SiroTorque L is substantially equivalent to the Bell International Mark 20 and Mark 25 Hand Engine Controller based on equivalence of the intended uses and technical characteristics. Performance testing to validate the safety and effectiveness of the SiroTorque L included electrical safety, electromagnetic compatibility, and validation testing of both hardware and software functions. {2}------------------------------------------------ Image /page/2/Picture/1 description: The image shows the logo for the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services.
