Device Description
The Bollard Miniplate Skeletal Anchorage System provides a fixed anchorage point for the attachment of orthodontic appliances to facilitate orthodontic movement of teeth. Small stationary points connected to bone inside the mouth allow connection of wire, elastic, or other hardware. The Bollard Miniplate Skeletal Anchorage System includes Commercially Pure Titanium miniplates fixed by miniscrews to the cortical bone. After insertion by the surgeon the miniplates are completely covered by soft tissue. The miniplates and miniscrews are sold sterile and are sterilized using Gamma Radiation per ISO 11137-1. The bone anchor consists of a miniplate (M) with 2 or 3 holes, a round connecting bar (C), and a fixation unit (F) with a blocking screw (S). The miniplate is fixed to the bone by self-tapping or selfdrilling screws. The fixation unit contains 2 slots with a diameter of 0.045" (1.1mm). A square connecting wire with a maximum size of 0.032x0.032" can be inserted and tightly fixed by the blocking screw. The Bollard miniplates are also offered with a hook. The Bollard with hook is smaller than the original model and contains a tube with section 0.020"x0.020". The hook can affix directly to elastics or coil springs. The subject devices are used with standard instrumentation for orthodontic surgery including pliers, punches, screwdrivers, burrs, and grasping or holding instruments.

The device description focuses on the mechanical components and materials of a skeletal anchorage system for orthodontic procedures. There is no mention of software, algorithms, or any features that would suggest the use of AI or ML. The "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML" and "Mentions image processing" sections are explicitly marked as "Not Found".

No.
Explanation: The device is intended as an anchor in orthodontic procedures and provides a fixed anchorage point for facilitating orthodontic movement of teeth, which is a structural or mechanical function, not a therapeutic one that restores, corrects, or modifies physiological functions.

No

Explanation: The device is described as an anchor for orthodontic procedures, providing a fixed point for the attachment of orthodontic appliances to facilitate tooth movement. Its function is to provide mechanical support, not to diagnose a condition.

No

The device description clearly outlines physical components made of titanium (miniplates, miniscrews, connecting bar, fixation unit, blocking screw, connecting wire, hook, tube) that are surgically implanted. This is a hardware device, not software only.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is "to be placed in the mouth for use as an anchor in orthodontic procedures." This describes a device used in vivo (within the body) for a structural purpose.
  • Device Description: The description details a physical implantable device made of titanium, designed to be fixed to bone. It facilitates mechanical movement of teeth.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Purpose: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes.

IVD devices are typically used to test samples like blood, urine, or tissue outside of the body to detect diseases, conditions, or other health information. This device is clearly a surgical implant used for mechanical anchorage.

§ 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.

KLS Martin - Ortho Anchorage System - K040891 Stryker Leibinger Skeletal Anchoring System - K041651

Indications for Use |21 CFR 807.92(a)(5)]

The subject devices are intended to be placed in the mouth for use as an anchor in orthodontic procedures.

Description of the Device [21 CFR 807.92(a)(4)|

The Bollard Miniplate Skeletal Anchorage System was invented by Dr. Hugo DeClerck.

The Bollard Miniplate Skeletal Anchorage System provides a fixed anchorage point for the attachment of orthodontic appliances to facilitate orthodontic movement of teeth. Small stationary points connected to bone inside the mouth allow connection of wire, elastic, or other hardware.

The Bollard Miniplate Skeletal Anchorage System includes Commercially Pure Titanium miniplates fixed by miniscrews to the cortical bone. After insertion by the surgeon the miniplates are completely covered by soft tissue. The miniplates and miniscrews are sold sterile and are sterilized using Gamma Radiation per ISO 11137-1.

The bone anchor consists of a miniplate (M) with 2 or 3 holes, a round connecting bar (C), and a fixation unit (F) with a blocking screw (S). The miniplate is fixed to the bone by self-tapping or selfdrilling screws. The fixation unit contains 2 slots with a diameter of 0.045" (1.1mm). A square connecting wire with a maximum size of 0.032x0.032" can be inserted and tightly fixed by the blocking screw.

2

The Bollard miniplates are also offered with a hook. The Bollard with hook is smaller than the original model and contains a tube with section 0.020"x0.020". The hook can affix directly to elastics or coil springs.

The subject devices are used with standard instrumentation for orthodontic surgery including pliers, punches, screwdrivers, burrs, and grasping or holding instruments.

Technological Characteristics [21 CFR 807.92(a)(6)|

TITA-LINK believes that the subject device is substantially equivalent to other devices that have previously received FDA 510(k) clearance including the predicate device.

Performance Data |21 CFR 807.92(b)(1)]

The subject device is composed of well characterized and biocompatible material that meets applicable standards.

Conclusion [21 CFR 807.92(b)(3)|

We believe the changes are minor and conclude that the subject devices are as safe and effective as the predicate device.
