## Intended Use

The e3 Torque Control Motor is a medical device designed for use by dentists for use with dental root canal instruments in continuous rotation with torque control or in reciprocating movement.

## Device Story

The e3 Torque Control Motor is an electric motor-driven handpiece for endodontic procedures. It consists of a control unit with an LCD screen and a 6:1 contra-angle handpiece. The device operates in continuous rotation or reciprocating modes. Dentists can program 15 custom settings for speed and torque control. The motor connects to a power supply and includes a battery. The device prevents rotary files from exceeding required torque strength. It is used by dentists in a clinical setting. The device includes a USB port for manufacturer-facilitated software updates. The system provides controlled mechanical motion for endodontic instruments, assisting the clinician in root canal preparation.

## Clinical Evidence

No clinical data. Substantial equivalence is supported by bench testing, including electrical safety, electromagnetic compatibility, and software validation per EN 62304. Biocompatibility of patient-contact components was confirmed per ISO 10993.

## Technological Characteristics

Electric motor-driven handpiece with 6:1 contra-angle. Console housing: PC/ABS blend. Power: Battery with AC charger. Connectivity: USB port for software updates. Standards: ISO 10993 (biocompatibility), EN 60601-1 (electrical safety), EN 60601-1-2 (EMC), EN 60601-1-8 (alarm systems), EN 62304 (software). Features: Torque control, continuous and reciprocating motion modes, 15 programmable settings.

## 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.
