Indications for Use
The EndoVac® system is intended for the delivery and evacuation of endodontic irrigation solutions during root canal procedures.
Device Story
EndoVac system provides negative pressure irrigation for root canal therapy. Components include Multi-Port Adapter (connects to dental office Hi-Vac system), Master Delivery Tip (simultaneous irrigation/evacuation), MacroCannula (removes coarse debris), and MicroCannula (removes apical debris via 12 laser-drilled 100 um holes). Device operates by drawing fluid apically via vacuum suction, moving irrigants from pulp chamber to apical termination and into Hi-Vac system. Used in dental clinics by practitioners. Benefits include effective apical irrigation and reduced risk of irrigant overflow compared to positive pressure systems.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data. Safety and efficacy supported by bench testing and review of published literature.

The EndoVac® System is intended for the delivery and evacuation of endodontic irrigation solutions during root canal procedures. EndoVac® Apical Negative Pressure Irrigation System is used in root canal therapy and is comprised of four main components. The Multi-Port Adapter is used to connect the Master Delivery Tip to the dental office Hi-Vac system. The Master Delivery Tip provides a constant flow of irrigant that lowers the risk of overflow due to continuous suction. Additional tips include the MacroCannula which is used to remove coarse debris after instrumentation, and the MicroCannula which features microscopic evacuation holes allowing the irrigant to flow to the apical termination.

### Technological Characteristics
The EndoVac® System is intended for the delivery and evacuation of endodontic irrigation solutions during root canal procedures. EndoVac® Apical Negative Pressure Irrigation System presents a method to effectively irrigate during root canal treatments. Unlike positive pressure systems which use a cannula or side-port needles to deliver irrigants to the canal, the EndoVac® is a negative pressure system that draws fluid apically by way of vacuum suction. Because the system utilizes negative pressure irrigation, irrigants are suctioned from the pulp chamber, apically, to the apical termination and then away into the office Hi-Vac system. The EndoVac® Apical Negative Pressure Irrigation System is comprised of a Multi-Port Adapter which attaches to the dental Hi-Vac system, the Master Delivery Tip which allows for simultaneous irrigation and evacuation, the MacroCannula which removes coarse debris left in the canal from instrumentation, and the MicroCannula which removes microscopic debris at the apical 1 mm via 12 microscopic, laser-drilled holes, each 100 um in diameter. Other accessories include handpiece and finger-piece attachments, evacuation tubing and syringes.
EndoVac® Apical Negative Pressure Irrigation System is substantially equivalent to the legally marketed RinsEndo dental handpiece manufactured by Airtechniques, Inc. (K052271). The RinsEndo uses a turbine driven dental handpiece to provide hydrodynamic rinsing and flushing of root canals, but has the same intended use as the proposed EndoVac® Apical Negative Pressure Irrigation System. A comparison of the proposed and predicate devices is provided in Table 1.
