Intended Use

Thommen SPI® VARIOmulti Abutments are intended to be used in conjunction with SPT® System dental implants in the maxillary and/or mandibular arch to provide support for crowns, bridges or overdentures.

Device Description

SPI® VARIOmulti Abutments are dental implant abutments for use with the SP1® Dental Implant System. They have an internal connection to the implant and an external hex prosthetic attachment, and are used for multi-unit screw-retained, prefabricated restorations. The system includes dedicated prosthetic components. VARIOmulti Abutments are appropriate for supporting laboratory cast frameworks as well as machined titanium frameworks using the Nobel Biocare Procera® Implant Bridge Titanium.

AI/ML Overview

The provided text is related to a 510(k) submission for a dental implant abutment (SPI® VARIOmulti Abutment). It focuses on administrative information, device description, and substantial equivalence to predicate devices, leading to FDA clearance.

Crucially, the provided document does not contain information about acceptance criteria, performance studies, sample sizes, expert qualifications, or ground truth establishment. These elements are typically found in the scientific validation section of a 510(k) submission, which is not present in the given excerpt.

Therefore, I cannot fulfill the request to describe the acceptance criteria and the study that proves the device meets them based on the provided text. The document is essentially a summary of the 510(k) clearance process and the device's intended use and classification.

To answer your questions, I would need a different part of the 510(k) submission that details the performance testing and validation results.

Dear Ms. Linda K. Schulz:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.

This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your Section 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market.

If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801), please contact the Office of Compliance at (240) 276-0115. Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21CFR Part 807.97).
