The device is supplied sterile for single-use, reducing the risk of needlestick injuries during anesthetic administration. ## Clinical Evidence No clinical data provided; bench testing only. ## Technological Characteristics Materials: Rigid PVC handpiece, flexible vinyl tubing. Principle: Piston and cartridge syringe mechanism. Form factor: Disposable handpiece assembly with retractable needle hub. Connectivity: Integrates with CompuDent™ system for audible status/voice feedback. Sterilization: Sterile, single-use. ## Regulatory Identification A cartridge syringe is a device intended to inject anesthetic agents subcutaneously or intramuscularly. The device consists of a metal syringe body into which a disposable, previously filled, glass carpule (a cylindrical cartridge) containing anesthetic is placed.

Manelli Manelli Denison & Selter, P.L.L.C. 2000 M Street NW (Suite 700) Washington, DC 20036 Phone: 202-261-1000 On behalf of Spintech, Inc. 220 South Orange Avenue Livingston, NJ 07039 SafetyWand™ disposable handpiece for CompuDent™ 510(k) Submission: anesthetic delivery system Date:August 13, 2003 The SafetyWand™ disposable handpiece is a safety engineered syringe Description: component designed for use with the CompuDent™ computer controlled injection system (K992819). The CompuDent® device utilizes hypodermic needles and standard 1.8mm pre-filled carpules manufactured by various third parties. The anesthetic agent reaches the needle by means of a length of flexible vinyl tubing. The hanbdpiece is made of rigid PVC. The anesthetic cartridge holder, the tubing and the handpiece are sold in a sterile condition as a disposable assembly for one-time use. The materials, principal of operation and intended use are the same as other marketed piston and cartridge svringes. The device provides audible status indicators, including optional voice announcement of injection rate, and volume of anesthetic dispensed. > The SafetyWand™ handpiece incorporates a protective barrel inside of which a movable needle hub assembly can be extended and locked in place for use in performing iniections. When not in use, or for disposal, the needle can be retracted within the barrel to aid in the prevention of needlesticks. The SafetyWand™ is substantially equivalent to the company's Wand® handpiece (K992819) and to the IntegriTech Safety Injection System (K962999). Indications for use: To iniect local anesthetic aqents subcutaneously or intramuscularly for dental applications. {1}------------------------------------------------ Image /page/1/Picture/1 description: The image shows the logo for the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services.
