## 510(k) Summary

SOPRO feels the S575 Dental Camera is substantially equivalent to the many marketed devices already in commercial distribution. The legally marketed devices already in commercial distribution are : Dentsply, Dynamic, Rosch, Welch Allyn, Air Technologies just to name a few.

The design of the S575 is virtually identical to the comparative devices, which are listed and displayed in Exhibit 2 and 3. Since the design is comparable, technology virtually identical, the specifications very similar, and the intended use the sames, SOPRO feels that these minors differences have no impact on the safe use and/or effectiveness of the device.

For information purposes and completeness, SOPRO has also incorporated other legally marketed devices in the filling to illustrate the wide general use of similar other devices. This wide use had led us to the safe use of this device in many practitioner's hands.
