## Device Story

SP 4055 and SP 4055 LUX are modular piezoelectric ultrasonic generators for integration into dental units. Device uses piezoelectricity to generate ultrasonic waves (27-35 kHz) for cavitation at the tip. System includes automatic control electronics that adjust power output instantaneously based on resistance encountered by the insert and vary frequency to optimize performance. Used by dental professionals for scaling, endodontics, and periodontics. Benefits include efficient cavitation, high operating power, and reduced handpiece heat generation, facilitating subgingival work and prosthesis loosening without thermal discomfort. Output is mechanical vibration of dental tips.

## Clinical Evidence

No clinical data provided. Substantial equivalence is based on identical technological characteristics, materials, and intended use to the predicate device.

## Technological Characteristics

Piezoelectric ultrasonic generator; frequency range 27-35 kHz. Modular sub-assembly for dental units. Includes automatic control system for power/frequency adjustment based on resistance. Materials and components identical to predicate SUPRASSON P5 Booster.

## 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.

## Predicate Devices

- SUPRASSON P5 Booster ([K961158](/device/K961158.md))

## B. Device Identification

Common/Usual Name Proprietary Name:

Piezoelectric Ultrasonic Scaling Generator SP 4055 and SP 4055 LUX Modules

- C. Identification of Predicate Device(s)
The SP 4055 and SP 4055 LUX Modules are substantially equivalent to its predicate device, SUPRASSON P5 Booster (K961158) previously cleared and currently marketed.

#### D. Device Description

and SP 4055 LUX modules are sub-assemblies of the The SP 4055 SUPPRASON P5 Booster Piezoelectric Ultrasonic Scaling Generator which received 510(k) clearance for dental applications (K961158) on May 23, 1996. The SP 4055 and SP 4055 LUX Modules maintain all the functions and the main components of the SUPRASSON P5 Booster, but are stand-alone sub-assemblies manufactured by SATELEC, all with the same components and materials used in the manufacture of the original SUPRASSON P5 Booster product, which can be used in standard dental units. The intended use, technical performance, and clinical indications are identical to those of their predicate device, the SUPRASSON P5 Booster (K961158).

The SP 4055 and SP 4055 LUX modules are multi-purpose ultrasonic generators to be marketed as modular sub-assemblies to manufacturers of dental units. Each module is shipped with three standard tips, 1, 2, and 10P. The SP 4055 and SP 4055 LUX are comprised of 3 setting ranges:

- · scaling, prosthesis removal, amalgam plugging,
- · ultrasonic endodontic treatment, and
- · ultrasonic periodontal treatment.

{1}------------------------------------------------

As the ultrasonic waves are produced by piezoelectricity, the SP 4055 and SP 4055 LUX module handpieces give off very little heat, making it possible for surgeons to perform both periodontal work (subgingival work at low power, where the absence of overheating is vital), as well as loosening (requiring high power, but without the unpleasant side-effect of a hot handpiece).

With the activation of a simple spray, the system ensures efficient cavitation and maximum operating power.

The electronics automatic control system has the capability to adjust power instantaneously in function of the resistance encountered by the insert, and varies handpiece and tips frequency so as to optimize power output.

The SP 4055 and SP 4055 LUX Modules, similar to their predicate device, SUPRASSON P5 Booster (K961158), operate from the action of cavitation, following the propagation of ultrasounds in a frequency spectrum comprised between 27 and 35 kHz.

## E. Substantial Equivalence

The technical characteristics of the SP 4055 and SP 4055 LUX Modules are almost identical to those of the Satelec SUPRASSON P-5 Booster. Differences that exist between these devices relating to technical specifications, materials, physical appearance, and control systems do not affect the relative safety or effectiveness of the SP 4055 and SP 4055 LUX Modules relative to its predicate.

The SP 4055 and SP 4055 LUX Modules are intended to provide overall prophylaxis and preservation of soft and hard tissue during the 3 standard dental treatments; Scaling, Periodontics, and Endodontics.
