What is it indicated for?
The device is intended for use in general dental applications, where high speed cutting is required; such as cutting a tooth for crown preparation, cavity preparation, removing metal crown or fillings.
This device uses a USA-patented, long proven check valve, a Non-Retraction Valve, in the water line of the handpiece to prevent the oral fluids, which could be contaminated, from being drawn into the handpiece spray port(s) of the handpiece. The contaminants could reach beyond the handpiece, but this check valve, as being installed in the handpiece body, prevents them from reaching beyond the handpiece.
Indications for use read by OCR from a scanned FDA 510(k) statement, so letters may be misread. Check the PDF before quoting it.
