Intended Use
Encode® Patient Specific Dental Abutments made from oral scans provided from 3M ESPE Lava Chair Scanner and the 3M Lava COS (2.0) software are intended for use as an accessory to endosseous dental implants to support a prosthetic device in a partially or edentulous patient. Encode® Patient Specific Dental Abutments are intended for use to support single and multiple tooth prostheses, in the mandible or maxilla. The prostheses can be screw or cement retained to the abutment.
Device Description
Patient Specific Dental Abutments are Encode® designed specifically for a patient using a CAD/CAM system. The abutments are designed from a threedimensional intra-oral optical scan or resin model scan and then machined/milled according to the parameters created in a digital file which are derived from the scan. The abutments are manufactured from titanium alloy (Ti 6Al-4V ELI) or biocompatible Zirconia TZP. The abutment design is limited according to BIOMET 3i Specifications, as follows: | Description | Min. | Max. | |----------------------------------------------------------------------|---------|--------| | A.)

More Information

No
The description focuses on CAD/CAM design and machining based on digital scans and predefined parameters, with no mention of AI or ML algorithms for design or analysis.

Yes
The device is described as an accessory to endosseous dental implants to support a prosthetic device in a partially or edentulous patient, which by definition performs a therapeutic function.

No

Explanation: The device is an accessory to dental implants intended to support prosthetic devices. It is used for design and manufacturing, not for diagnosing medical conditions.

No

The device description clearly states that the device is a physical dental abutment manufactured from titanium alloy or zirconia, which is a hardware component. While software is used in the design process, the final product is 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 clearly states that the device is an accessory to dental implants to support a prosthetic device in a patient. This is a direct clinical application within the body, not a test performed in vitro (outside the body) on biological specimens to diagnose a condition.
  • Device Description: The description details a physical dental abutment designed and manufactured for a patient based on scans. It's a physical implant component, not a reagent, instrument, or system used for diagnostic testing.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue), detecting biomarkers, or providing diagnostic information about a patient's health status.

The device is a medical device used in dentistry for restorative purposes, not for in vitro diagnostic testing.

Equivalence Data:

Encode® Patient Specific Dental Abutments made from oral scans provided from 3M ESPE Lava Chair Scanner and the 3M Lava COS (2.0) software are intended for use as an accessory to endosseous dental implants to support a prosthetic device in a partially or edentulous patient. Encode® Patient Specific Dental Abutments are intended for use to support single and multiple tooth prostheses, in the mandible or maxilla. The prostheses can be screw or cement retained to the abutment.

Validation performed on scanning equipment and software to ensure accuracy of scanning models to produce the intended design as cleared in K032263 & K052648.

Encode® Patient Specific Dental Abutments made from oral scans provided from 3M ESPE Lava Chair Scanner and the 3M Lava COS (2.0) software have the same intended use and indications, principles of operation, and technological characteristics as previously cleared Encode® Patient Specific Dental BIOMET 3i Abutments. The additional option of oral scans as a source of digital images for existing design CAD/CAM software do not raise any new questions of safety or effectiveness. Validation data demonstrates that the modified process results in a finished device that is just as safe and effective as Encode® Patient Specific Dental Abutments that are currently cleared under K032263 & K052648. Thus, the Encode® Patient Specific Dental Abutments are substantially equivalent to its predicate devices.

Dear Ms. Arias:

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. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to 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.
