Used in dental clinics by practitioners for endodontic and general procedures. System inputs include user-defined speed (300-30,000 RPM), torque settings (gram/cm), gear ratios, and drive modes (forward, reverse, reciprocating) via console interface. Foot pedal provides operational control. Motor supports geared handpieces, including those with LED optics for illumination. Device transforms electrical input into mechanical rotation for handpiece operation. Output is controlled mechanical motion for drilling or material removal. Clinical benefit includes precise control over speed/torque and illumination for improved visibility during procedures. System allows user-defined presets for workflow efficiency. ## Clinical Evidence Bench testing only. Performance assessed via comparative design verification against predicate devices. Safety and electromagnetic compatibility verified per IEC 60601-1 and IEC 60601-1-2. Motor performance verified per ISO 11498. ## Technological Characteristics Software-controlled dental handpiece system. Features: 300-30,000 RPM motor speed, adjustable torque (gram/cm), gear ratio selection, forward/reverse/reciprocating drive modes, and LED illumination support. Connectivity: Electronic foot pedal control. Standards: IEC 60601-1 (safety), IEC 60601-1-2 (EMC), ISO 11498 (low-voltage motors). ## 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 - Aseptico Model AEU-925 ([K030163](/device/K030163.md)) - Aseptico AEU-5000 ([K103399](/device/K103399.md)) - ATR TECNIKA ([K000547](/device/K000547.md)) ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).

See Table 1 of comparisons provided at the end of this summary {1}------------------------------------------------ #### Substantial Equivalence #### Feature equivalency to Aseptico Model AEU-925: All but two of the features listed above "Technological Characteristics" for the AEU-26L are already part of Aseptico's model AEU-925, which was cleared under 510(k) number K030163. Both models can be used for endodontic surgery. #### **Allows attachment of lighted handpieces The AEU-26L allows use of contra angle handpieces that include optics for a light, to provide illumination from the Light Emitting Diode (LED) of the AE-250L motor. This technology is substantially equivalent to the Aseptic AEU-5000 cleared under 510(k) number K103399. #### **Reciprocating drive Reciprocating drive is a forward and reverse cycle that can be selected as an alternate motion to simply driving forward or reverse. Bench testing of the AEU-26L establishes that the AEU-26L provides the same type of reciprocation as the ATR TECNIKA device, cleared under K000547. ** Technological characteristics from predicate devices other than Aseptico's Model AEU-925 #### Performance data The AEU-26L was assessed to IEC 60601-1:1988-Medical electrical equipment-Part 1: General requirements for safety. This included thermal and electrical safety of the AE-250L-30 motor containing the Light Emitting Diode (LED). The AEU-26L met electromagnetic compatibility requirements of IEC 60601-1-2—Medical electrical equipment-Part 1: General requirements for safety-2. Collateral standard: Electromannetic compatibility. Specific performance testing relevant to the AE-250L-30 motor is met by application of ISO 11498 Dental handpieces -- Dental low-voltage electrical motors All of the functional characteristics for the AEU-26L (e.g. directional and reciprocating drive, speed, torque control, ability to attached selected geared handpieces, etc) were established using comparative design verification methods between the predicate devices and the AEU-26L. Records of these design verification activities are maintained in the Design History File. #### Conclusions The AEU-26L bears all the features necessary to perform endodontic surgery of its predecessor AEU-925. using all of the same technological developments and feature that are in place for performing endodontic dental surgery. In addition, the AEU-26L includes the ability to utilize legally marketed geared handpieces that have optics to carry the light for illuminating the working area of the tooth. It also includes a reciprocating drive feature that is substantially equivalent to the ATR TECNIKA device, cleared under K000547. {2}------------------------------------------------ ### TABLE 1 ### SUMMARY ONLY -- See Substantial Equivalence Discussion for more details ## Comparison chart of AEU-26L Essential Performance and Features | | AEU-26L | AEU-925 | ATR TECNIKA | AEU-5000 | |-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|--------------------------------------------------------------------|--------------------------------------------------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|--------------------------------------------------------------------| | a) Allows
