Intended Use

BLT Dental Implant Systems are intended to be placed in the upper and lower jaw to support prosthetic devices and to restore a patient's chewing function. BLT Dental Implant systems are also indicated for immediate or early implantation following extraction or loss of natural teeth. Implants can be placed with immediate function on single-tooth and/or multiple tooth applications when good primary stability is achieved and with appropriate occlusal loading to restore chewing function. The prosthetic restorations used are single crowns, bridges and partial or full dentures, which are connected to the implants through the corresponding components (abutments). In cases of fully edentulous patients, 4 or more implants must be used in immediately loaded cases.

Device Description

The proposed devices, BLT Dental Implant Systems, are indicated for oral endosteal implantation in the upper and lower jaw and for the functional and esthetic oral rehabilitation of edentulous and partially dentate patients. The proposed devices can also be used for immediate or early implantation following extraction or loss of natural teeth. The proposed device contains dental implant, healing cap and abutment. The dental implant system is available in two types, NC type and RC type.

AI/ML Overview

The request asks for acceptance criteria and details of the study proving these criteria are met. The provided text is a 510(k) Summary for a dental implant system. This type of submission focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device, primarily through non-clinical testing and comparison of characteristics, rather than a clinical study with detailed acceptance criteria and performance metrics typically found for AI/ML devices. Therefore, much of the requested information (like effect size, ground truth, sample size for training/test sets, expert qualifications, and adjudication methods) is not applicable or unavailable from this document.

However, I can extract information related to the device's performance based on non-clinical testing and the acceptance criteria implicitly defined by compliance with recognized standards and demonstrated equivalence to the predicate device.

Here's the summary based on the provided document:

Acceptance Criteria and Study Details for BLT Dental Implant System (K212364)

The "acceptance criteria" for this device are implicitly defined by its compliance with various ISO and ASTM standards, and its demonstrated substantial equivalence to a legally marketed predicate device (K150388) and several reference devices.

2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance

  • Sample Size: Not explicitly stated for specific non-clinical tests. Non-clinical tests like mechanical testing (ISO 14801) typically involve a specific number of samples for destructive testing, but the exact count isn't provided in the summary.
  • Data Provenance: The tests were conducted by the manufacturer, Bio Concept Co., Ltd. and leverage data from previously cleared devices where materials or processes are identical. The document does not specify the country of origin of the raw test data (e.g., where the mechanical tests were physically performed) beyond the manufacturer's location in China. The data is retrospective in the sense that prior clearance data (K192274, K150388) is referenced for aspects like biocompatibility and surface analysis.

3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications of Those Experts

  • This is not applicable as this is a non-clinical submission for a physical medical device (dental implant system), not an AI/ML device relying on expert-annotated ground truth. The "ground truth" for non-clinical tests comes from physical measurements against established standards.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

  • Not applicable as this is a non-clinical submission for a physical medical device.

5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study was done, If so, what was the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance

  • Not applicable. This device is a physical dental implant system, not an AI/ML device, so no MRMC study was performed.

6. If a Standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done

  • Not applicable. This is a physical device, not an algorithm.

7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

  • The "ground truth" for establishing device performance in this context is derived from:
    • Scientific Standards: Compliance with recognized international and national standards (ISO 14801 for mechanical properties, ISO 10993 for biocompatibility, ISO 11137-2 for sterilization, ASTM standards for materials and packaging).
    • Predicate Device Equivalence: Direct comparison of technological characteristics, materials, and intended use to an existing legally marketed device (K150388) and numerous reference devices.
    • Laboratory Testing: Results from mechanical tests, sterilization validation, bacterial endotoxin tests, and packaging integrity tests.

8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

  • Not applicable. This is a physical device, not an AI/ML model that requires a training set.

9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established

  • Not applicable.

§ 872.3640 Endosseous dental implant.

(a)
Identification. An endosseous dental implant is a prescription device made of a material such as titanium or titanium alloy that is intended to be surgically placed in the bone of the upper or lower jaw arches to provide support for prosthetic devices, such as artificial teeth, in order to restore a patient's chewing function.(b)
Classification. (1) Class II (special controls). The device is classified as class II if it is a root-form endosseous dental implant. The root-form endosseous dental implant is characterized by four geometrically distinct types: Basket, screw, solid cylinder, and hollow cylinder. The guidance document entitled “Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Root-Form Endosseous Dental Implants and Endosseous Dental Implant Abutments” will serve as the special control. (See § 872.1(e) for the availability of this guidance document.)(2)
Classification. Class II (special controls). The device is classified as class II if it is a blade-form endosseous dental implant. The special controls for this device are:(i) The design characteristics of the device must ensure that the geometry and material composition are consistent with the intended use;
(ii) Mechanical performance (fatigue) testing under simulated physiological conditions to demonstrate maximum load (endurance limit) when the device is subjected to compressive and shear loads;
(iii) Corrosion testing under simulated physiological conditions to demonstrate corrosion potential of each metal or alloy, couple potential for an assembled dissimilar metal implant system, and corrosion rate for an assembled dissimilar metal implant system;
(iv) The device must be demonstrated to be biocompatible;
(v) Sterility testing must demonstrate the sterility of the device;
(vi) Performance testing to evaluate the compatibility of the device in a magnetic resonance (MR) environment;
(vii) Labeling must include a clear description of the technological features, how the device should be used in patients, detailed surgical protocol and restoration procedures, relevant precautions and warnings based on the clinical use of the device, and qualifications and training requirements for device users including technicians and clinicians;
(viii) Patient labeling must contain a description of how the device works, how the device is placed, how the patient needs to care for the implant, possible adverse events and how to report any complications; and
(ix) Documented clinical experience must demonstrate safe and effective use and capture any adverse events observed during clinical use.
