K103697 is an FDA 510(k) clearance for the TORQTECH. Classified as Handpiece, Contra- And Right-angle Attachment, Dental (product code EGS), Class I - General Controls.

Submitted by J. Morita USA, Inc. (Washington, US). The FDA issued a Cleared decision on January 20, 2012 after a review of 396 days - an unusually long review period, suggesting complex equivalence evaluation.

This device falls under the Dental FDA review panel, regulated under 21 CFR 872.4200 - the FDA dental device regulatory framework. The Traditional 510(k) pathway establishes clearance through substantial equivalence to a legally marketed predicate device, without requiring clinical trial data.

Device pattern: Standard predicate-based submission. Elevated predicate reliance profile. This clearance follows a standard predicate-based equivalence path within the Dental review framework, consistent with the majority of Class II 510(k) submissions.
