Intended Use
etkon_visual is a software device intended to import patient-specific data from a scanner for CAD (computer aided design) design of individual dental restorations like crowns, bridges, inlays, onlays, veneers and abutments. etkon_visual also facilitates the transfer of 3D data from a dental lab to a remote milling center by internet connection and serves as an order management tool.
Device Description
etkon™ visual is a software package by Institut Straumann AG which allows for digital design of customized abutments. etkon™ visual is also the operating software that controls Straumann's scanner etkon™ es 1. The scanner etkon™ es 1 together with the application software etkon™ visual fall under the definition of 21CFR872.3661, Optical Impression Systems for CAD/CAM. Such systems are defined as class II devices which are exempt from 510(k) requirements. This 510(k) premarket notification submission describes etkon™_visual's dental abutment design functionality. For designing a dental abutment, the etkon™ es 1 scanner collects data from a dental plaster model with a scan body attached intended to provide for the correct positioning of the abutment. The scanning is done extraorally. The scan data is used by the etkon™_visual software design tools to virtually design the shape and size of the dental abutment. Once the design process is finished, the digital dataset is sent to Straumann by internet connection for CAM manufacturing from milling blanks.
More Information

Not Found

No
The description focuses on standard CAD/CAM design tools and data transfer, with no mention of AI or ML capabilities.

No.
The device is a software for CAD design of dental restorations and abutments, which is a design tool that aids in the manufacturing process rather than directly providing a therapeutic effect to a patient.

No

Explanation: The device is described as software for CAD design of dental restorations and order management, not for diagnosing medical conditions. It assists in the design and manufacturing process, not in identifying diseases or conditions.

Yes

The device is described as a "software device" and a "software package." While it interacts with a scanner and facilitates data transfer for manufacturing, the 510(k) submission specifically focuses on the software's design functionality and does not include the scanner or manufacturing equipment as part of this specific submission.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for the CAD design of dental restorations and order management. This is a design and manufacturing process, not a diagnostic test performed on biological samples.
  • Device Description: The description clearly states it's a software package for designing dental abutments based on scanned data from a dental plaster model. It's part of a CAD/CAM system for creating physical dental restorations.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Activity: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, tissue, etc.) or providing information for the diagnosis, treatment, or prevention of disease.

The device falls under the category of "Optical Impression Systems for CAD/CAM" which are classified as Class II devices for dental applications, not IVDs.

Description for the Premarket Notification

etkon™ visual is a software package by Institut Straumann AG which allows for digital design of customized abutments.

etkon™ visual is also the operating software that controls Straumann's scanner etkon™ es 1. The scanner etkon™ es 1 together with the application software etkon™ visual fall under the definition of 21CFR872.3661, Optical Impression Systems for CAD/CAM. Such systems are defined as class II devices which are exempt from 510(k) requirements.

This 510(k) premarket notification submission describes etkon™_visual's dental abutment design functionality.

For designing a dental abutment, the etkon™ es 1 scanner collects data from a dental plaster model with a scan body attached intended to provide for the correct positioning of the abutment. The scanning is done extraorally. The scan data is used by the etkon™_visual software design tools to virtually design the shape and size of the dental abutment. Once the design process is finished, the digital dataset is sent to Straumann by internet connection for CAM manufacturing from milling blanks.

The individual abutments that are finally manufactured at Straumann from zirconium dioxide and titanium blanks meet all properties and specifications of Straumann's already 510(k)-cleared individual abutments ("CARES") as listed above in the "Predicate Devices" paragraph.

Image /page/1/Picture/9 description: The image shows two objects that appear to be some type of mechanical or structural components. The object on the left is mostly black, with some white areas, and has a complex shape with a wider top and a narrower bottom. The object on the right is mostly white, with some black areas, and has a simpler shape with a rounded top and a narrower bottom. Both objects are standing upright.

Verification and validation efforts of etkon™ visual provides evidence that design parameters for the individual abutments are met and that dental abutments meeting design specifications are manufactured by Straumann.

In its functionality, etkon™ visual is substantially equivalent to Nobel Biocare's Procera® Software.

In summary, it can be concluded that safety and effectiveness requirements for etkon™ visual for the design of individual dental restorations including abutments are completely met.
