## Intended Use

The ultrasonic scaler is intended to: 1. Remove supra and sub gingival calculus deposits and stain from the teeth; 2. Carry out periodontal pocket lavage with simultaneous ultrasonic tip movement; 3. Clean and irrigate root canals.

## Device Story

Ultrasonic scaler P7 uses piezoelectric technology to generate high-frequency vibrations for dental procedures. Device consists of a control unit, handpiece with cord, and detachable scaling tips. Connects to external water supply for irrigation during operation. Operated by dental professionals in clinical settings. Piezoelectric transducer converts electric power into mechanical vibrations (28kHz ± 3kHz) at the tip to remove calculus, stains, and perform lavage or root canal irrigation. Water delivery through handpiece provides cooling and cleaning. Output allows clinicians to perform periodontal and endodontic maintenance, improving oral hygiene and patient dental health.

## Clinical Evidence

No clinical data. Substantial equivalence supported by bench testing, including electrical safety (IEC 60601-1), electromagnetic compatibility (IEC 60601-1-2), output characteristics (IEC 61205), biocompatibility (ISO 10993-5, ISO 10993-10), and steam sterilization validation (AAMI/ANSI ST79).

## Technological Characteristics

Piezoelectric ultrasonic scaler. Handpiece shell: aluminum alloy. Frequency: 28kHz ± 3kHz. Components: control unit, handpiece, cord, detachable tips. External water supply connection. Sterilization: moist heat (steam) per AAMI/ANSI ST79. Standards: IEC 60601-1, IEC 60601-1-2, IEC 61205, ISO 10993-5, ISO 10993-10.

## Regulatory Identification

An ultrasonic scaler is a device intended for use during dental cleaning and periodontal (gum) therapy to remove calculus deposits from teeth by application of an ultrasonic vibrating scaler tip to the teeth.

Dear Mr. Gu:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

| Device Description:       | Ultrasonic scaler employs piezoelectric technology to produce a<br>steady power. It is composed of a control unit housing a<br>generator that produces piezo-electric vibrations. The working<br>instrument for the ultrasonic scaler is the handpiece, which is<br>connected to the control unit via a handpiece cord. A scaling tip<br>specific to a particular procedure is attached to the end of the<br>handpiece. The ultrasonic scaler connects to an external water<br>supply and delivers water via connected handpiece. |
| Intended Use:             | The ultrasonic scaler is intended to:<br>1. Remove supra and sub gingival calculus deposits and<br>stain from the teeth;<br>2. Carry out periodontal pocket lavage with<br>simultaneous ultrasonic tip movement;<br>3. Clean and irrigate root canals.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            |
| Technology:               | The ultrasonic scaler is powered by the piezoelectric technology                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  |

which is also employed by the predicate device. The electric power is transduced into high-frequency vibration via an ultrasonic transducer.

The working instrument for both the proposed and predicate devices is the handpiece, which is connected to the control unit via a handpiece cord. Both the proposed and predicate ultrasonic scalers connect to an external water supply and deliver water via the handpiece.

Determination of Substantial The ultrasonic scaler and its predicate device : Equivalence:

- have the same intended use;
- both employ piezoelectric technology and produce ultrasonic vibrations at a frequency of 28kHz ± 3kHz;
- Have similar main components, i.e. control unit, handpiece cord, handpiece and detachable scaling tips.

Compared to the predicate device, most of their specifications are identical except that the handpiece of the proposed ultrasonic scaler has a metal shell made from aluminum alloy rather than the plastic material used by the predicate device. The difference does not affect the safety of the proposed device as a biocompatibility testing aiming to the handpiece metal shell was conducted and result pass.

Moist sterilization validation according to AAMI / ANSI ST79:2010 & A1:2010 & A2:2011 & A3:2012 & A4:2013, (Consolidated Text) Comprehensive Guide To Steam Sterilization And Sterility Assurance In Health Care Facilities

Summary of Clinical Tests: The subject of this premarket submission, ultrasonic scaler, did not require clinical studies to support substantial equivalence. Conclusion: Based on the similarities in intended use, principles of operation, design rationale, test results, and performance, Nanning Baolai Medical Instrument Co., Ltd. considers the ultrasonic scaler to be substantially equivalent to the predicate device USD-L ultrasonic scaler.
