Intended Use
The 3i Locator Implant Anchor Abutment for Endosseous Dental Implants is appropriate for use with overdentures retained in whole or in part by endosseous implants in the mandible or maxilla.
Device Description
The 3i Locator Abutment System consists of a titanium alloy socket that is attached to a dental implant having an internal threaded socket. Both devices have a nylon component that has a shape on one end that mates into the socket. The other end of the nylon component is attached to the denture. This arrangement provides snap-fit retention of the denture. The system is identical to the predicate devices, except for a modification to allow use with 3i's Osseotite implant, and a modification of the system prior to distribution by 3i.

No
The device description and performance studies focus on mechanical properties and retention, with no mention of AI or ML. The "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML" field is explicitly "Not Found".

No.
The device is an abutment system for dental implants used to retain overdentures, which is a supportive rather than a therapeutic function.

No
The device is described as an "Implant Anchor Abutment" used for retention of overdentures. Its function is to provide a mechanical connection and retention for dentures, not to diagnose a disease or condition. The performance studies mentioned relate to mechanical properties like retention and fatigue strength, not diagnostic accuracy.

No

The device description clearly outlines physical components made of titanium alloy and nylon, which are hardware. There is no mention of software as the primary or sole component.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for retaining overdentures on dental implants within the mandible or maxilla. This is a mechanical function within the body, not a diagnostic test performed on samples taken from the body.
  • Device Description: The device is described as a system of titanium and nylon components that provide a "snap-fit retention of the denture." This is a physical mechanism for holding a prosthetic in place.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Elements: There is no mention of the device being used to analyze biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.) or to provide information about a patient's health status or disease.
  • Performance Studies: The performance studies focus on mechanical properties like retention, occlusal forces, and fatigue strength, which are relevant to the device's function as a dental prosthetic attachment, not a diagnostic test.

IVD devices are specifically designed to be used in vitro (outside the body) to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. This device clearly operates in vivo (within the body) and serves a mechanical purpose.

§ 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.
