AI/ML Overview

I am sorry, but based on the provided text, I cannot answer your request. The document is a 510(k) premarket notification acceptance letter for a dental implant system. It confirms that the device is substantially equivalent to legally marketed predicate devices.

However, the provided text does not contain the following information that would allow me to answer your questions:

  • Acceptance criteria and reported device performance: There are no specific performance metrics, benchmarks, or test results mentioned for the Ace HA Screw Dental Implant System.
  • Details of any studies: There is no description of any clinical or non-clinical studies conducted for this device, including information on sample sizes, data provenance, ground truth establishment, expert involvement, or adjudication methods.
  • Information regarding AI or algorithm performance: The device described is a physical dental implant system, not a software device or an AI-powered system. Therefore, questions related to standalone algorithm performance, AI assistance, or MRMC studies are not applicable.

The document is purely an administrative confirmation of market clearance based on substantial equivalence, not a detailed report of device testing or performance.

§ 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.
