Intended Use

The RePlus Dental Implants with HA coating are dental implant fixtures that are a part of a two-piece implant system. The RePlus implants are intended for use in the mandible and maxilla, in support of single or multiple-unit cement or screw receiving fixed restorations and for retention and support of overdentures. The implants are intended for immediate loading for support of single tooth and/or multiple tooth restorations, provided initial implant stability and appropriate occlusal load requirements are met.

Device Description

The RePlus Implant system consists of tapered screw-type endosseous implants with the same standard "V" thread configuration, the same 2mm of mini-threads near the top of each implant, are manufactured using the same medical grade titanium alloy material and are coated with the same soluble blast media (SBM) blasted surface treatment or HA plasma sprayed. The HA coated variety of these implants are the subject of this submission.

AI/ML Overview

The provided document is a 510(k) summary for the RePlus Dental Implants With HA Coating. It does not contain information about acceptance criteria or a study proving the device meets acceptance criteria.

The document focuses on:

  • Device Description: Tapered screw-type endosseous implants with specific thread configurations, materials (medical grade titanium alloy), and surface treatments (SBM blasted or HA plasma sprayed).
  • Intended Use: For use in mandible and maxilla to support single or multiple-unit restorations and for retention/support of overdentures, including immediate loading under specific conditions.
  • Device Comparison: States that the device compares favorably to predicate devices (Zimmer Dental Tapered Screw-Vent, Nobel Biocare Tapered Groovy Implants, and Implant Direct's Spectra-System) in function, technological characteristics, intended use, and materials.
  • Substantial Equivalence: The FDA's letter confirms substantial equivalence to legally marketed predicate devices, which allows the device to be marketed.

Therefore, I cannot provide the requested information regarding acceptance criteria and a study proving their fulfillment as this information is not present in the provided text.

To answer your specific questions, if such a study were to be described, it would typically include details like:

  1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance: This would list specific quantitative or qualitative targets (e.g., bone-to-implant contact percentage > X%, maximum torque value > Y Ncm) and the results obtained from testing.
  2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance: How many implants were tested, where were they tested (e.g., specific clinics, animal models), and was the data collected retrospectively from existing records or prospectively through a new study?
  3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts: This would apply more to image-based diagnostic devices, not typically for dental implants.
  4. Adjudication method: Again, more relevant to diagnostic interpretations.
  5. Multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study: Not typically applicable for dental implants, which are hardware devices.
  6. Standalone performance: Also not applicable as this relates to an algorithm's performance without human interaction.
  7. Type of ground truth used: For dental implants, ground truth often relates to histological measurements of bone integration, mechanical stability testing, or clinical follow-up data on success rates.
  8. Sample size for the training set: Not applicable for a device like a dental implant; this refers to AI/machine learning models.
  9. How the ground truth for the training set was established: Not applicable for a dental implant.

Based on the provided text, the RePlus Dental Implants With HA Coating achieved market clearance through a 510(k) submission by demonstrating substantial equivalence to existing predicate devices, rather than through a study proving it met specific novel acceptance criteria. Substantial equivalence means the device is as safe and effective as a legally marketed device that is not subject to premarket approval (PMA).

Dear Mr. Gottenbos:

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.

§ 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.
