#### u DEVICE DESCRIPTION
The Sirona PerioScan Ultrasonic Scaler consists of a table-top unit with two detachable irrigant bottles with lids, a footswitch, an ultrasonic handpiece, hoses and connectors, a variety of optional tips for different dental procedures, and a tool for attaching the tips to the handpiece.
The PerioScan table-top houses the operator input and controls for the supply of irrigant, cooling liquid and light for the handpiece. The device is connected to 115V mains power supply and it may be connected to an external water-supply. The irrigant for the handpiece is drawn from either of the two internal liquid containers or an external water supply. The handpiece is connected to the table-top unit via a hose and can be deposited in the claw. A footswitch with two single switches controls the handpiece. The PerioScan Handpiece is an electrically operated scaler driven by a piezo oscillator. The handpiece includes an illumination LED located in the hose and a spray water controller.
#### BASIS FOR SUBSTANTIAL EQUIVALENCE 6.
The overall design of the Sirona PerioScan Ultrasonic Scaler is similar to the design of the Piezon® Master 600. Both these devices include a dental handpiece and ultrasonic generator. They all contain software, which controls delivery of the ultrasonic power, and include various tip configurations for the differing dental procedures.
On both the proposed and predicate Piezon 600 scaler units, the ultrasonic power can be adjusted on the control unit and delivery of the ultrasonic energy is via a foot control.
The Sirona PerioScan Scaler and the Piezon® Master 600 allow the operator to select among different operating modes. These modes have different ultrasonic power ranges to assist the operator in maintaining the ultrasonic power within an appropriate range for specific applications.
Both systems allow for irrigation using two internal containers (small and large) or an external water source. Irrigation flow is controlled by handpiece, operator's panel and footswitch for the Sirona PerioScan as well as for the Piezon® Master 600.
{2}------------------------------------------------
Based on the comparison of intended use and technical features, Sirona Dental Systems believes that the PerioScan is substantially equivalent to the Piezon® Master 600. The proposed and predicate devices have the same general intended use and principles of operation. The overall design of the proposed and predicate devices is similar.
