Dear Ms. Lewis:
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.

The Cavitron Touch™ Ultrasonic Scaling System is an ultrasonic scaler which is intended to be used for all general supra and subgingival scaling applications as well as periodontal debridement for all types of periodontal diseases. The Cavitron Touch™ Ultrasonic Scaling System has the same intended use, incorporates the same fundamental technology, and has similar indications for use as the predicate Cavitron® RF Ultrasonic Scaler System with Sterimate Handpiece cleared under premarket notification K052334. The differences in the table above do not raise any new or different types of questions of safety and effectiveness.
{9}------------------------------------------------
- 7. Non-Clinical Performance Data.
Performance testing focused on verification of design, ultrasonic scaling performance, and function of the Cavitron Touch® Ultrasonic Scaler. Below is a summary of the testing performed:
- AAMI ANSI ES 60601-1 Medical Electrical Equipment Part 1: General requirements . for basic safety and essential performance (2005; reapproved 2012)
- . IEC 60601-1-2 Medical Electrical Equipment PART 1-2: General Requirements for Basic Safety and Essential Performance Collateral Standard: Electromagnetic Compatibility (2007)
- . FDA - Guidelines for the Content of Premarket Submissions for Software Contained in Medical Devices- Software Validation
- . Internal specification and testing for handpiece operation, including lavage control
- . Internal specification and testing for autocycle operation
- Internal specification and testing for touch screen and user interface functionality
- . Internal specification and testing for radio frequency distance for Tap-On™ Wireless Foot Pedal (K130862)
The results of these performance tests support the substantial equivalence of the proposed Cavitron Touch™ Ultrasonic Scaling System with the predicate Cavitron® RF Ultrasonic Scaler System with Sterimate Handpiece (K052334).
New biocompatibility testing was not required to support the substantial equivalence between the proposed Cavitron Touch™ Ultrasonic Scaling System and the predicate device, Cavitron® RF Ultrasonic Scaler System with Sterimate Handpiece (K052334). Biocompatibility testing was submitted with the predicate device, Cavitron® RF Ultrasonic Scaler System with Sterimate Handpiece and cleared under premarket notification K052334. The Cavitron® Steri-Mate™ Sterilizable Handpiece was previously cleared as Jet-Mate™ Sterilizable Handpiece under premarket notification K023697.
#### 1. Clinical Performance Data
No data from human clinical studies has been included to support the substantial equivalence of the Cavitron Touch™ Ultrasonic Scaling System.
#### 2. Conclusion Regarding Substantial Equivalence
The Cavitron Touch™ Ultrasonic Scaling System is an ultrasonic scaler which is intended to be used for all general supra and subgingival scaling applications as well as periodontal debridement for all types of periodontal diseases. The Cavitron Touch™ Ultrasonic Scaling System has the same intended use, incorporates the same fundamental technology, and has similar indications for use as the predicate Cavitron® RF Ultrasonic Scaler System with Sterimate Handpiece cleared under premarket notification K052334. Testing to verify the performance of the Cavitron Touch™ Ultrasonic Scaling System shows that the key features and performance of the Cavitron Touch™ Ultrasonic Scaling System are substantially equivalent to the predicate device, Cavitron® RF Ultrasonic Scaler System with Sterimate Handpiece (K052334).
