Intended Use
The Sterngold 2.2mm Angled ERA dental implants are intended for long term as well as temporary surgical implantation in the bone of the patient's upper or lower arch to provide immediate load or delayed load of prosthetic systems, such as artificial teeth, in order to restore the patient's chewing function. Immediate loading of the ERA Implant should only occur when the position of the implants provides adequate bone quantity and quality to allow proper immediate mechanical stabilization of the self-tapping screw into the bone and where occlusal and lateral forces can be limited with appropriate occlusal design and a soft diet.
Device Description
The Sterngold 2.2mm Angled Micro ERA Dental Implant System consists of a threaded, external-hex, selftapping, root-form endosseous implant with integral female insert (abutment). The thread major diameter is 2.2 mm; available implant lengths will be 10, 13 & 15 mm. The implants will be available in anglecorrection (0°, 5°, 11° & 17°) versions with cuff heights ranging from 0.76 - 4mm. The implants are manufactured from pure, implant-grade titanium alloy. The external surface of the implants (excluding the neck and the implant head) is lightly acid etched to remove any surface contaminants remaining from the manufacturing operation, and to achieve a slightly roughened microsurface to aid in implant osseointegration. The female insert is titanium nitride coated.

No
The 510(k) summary describes a physical dental implant system and does not mention any software, algorithms, or data processing capabilities that would indicate the use of AI or ML.

No
The device is a dental implant used to restore chewing function by providing a base for artificial teeth, which is a restorative rather than therapeutic function.

No

The provided text describes a dental implant system used for restoring chewing function by surgically implanting artificial teeth. It focuses on the physical characteristics and surgical application of the implant, not on diagnosing medical conditions or diseases.

No

The device description clearly details a physical implant made of titanium alloy, which is a hardware component. The 510(k) summary focuses on the physical characteristics and intended use of this implant, not software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the device is for "surgical implantation in the bone of the patient's upper or lower arch to provide immediate load or delayed load of prosthetic systems... in order to restore the patient's chewing function." This describes a surgical implant used directly in the patient's body for a functional purpose.
  • Device Description: The description details a physical implant made of titanium alloy, designed to be surgically placed in bone.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue, etc.) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment.

IVD devices are used outside the body to analyze samples and provide diagnostic information. This device is a surgical implant used inside the body.

§ 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.
