No
The provided text describes dental implant abutments, which are used for structural support of crowns, bridges, and overdentures. There is no indication that these abutments collect data, analyze a condition, or provide a diagnosis. They are components used in restorative dental procedures.

No

The device description clearly states that the device is a physical titanium dental implant abutment, which is a hardware component.

IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic)

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 used in conjunction with dental implants to provide support for crowns, bridges and overdentures. This describes a structural and mechanical function within the body.
Device Description: The description details the material (titanium), design, and components (abutment screw, burn-out cap) of a dental implant abutment. This aligns with a medical device used for physical support and restoration.
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 biological samples. This device is implanted within the body to support dental prosthetics.

Device Description

VARIOeco abutments are titanium dental implant abutments for use with Thommen System dental implants for fabrication of porcelain-fused-to-metal (PFM) restorations. VARIOeco includes two abutment designs, one for single tooth (crown) and one for multi-tooth (bridge) restorations. A laboratory burn-out cap and abutment screw are provided together with the abutment in the VARIOeco set. Both VARIOeco abutment designs are provided in five platform diameters (3.5, 4.0, 4.5, 5.0 and 6.0 mm) corresponding to Thommen System dental implants (ELEMENT, CONTACT and ONETIME).

INTENDED USE

Thommen VARIOeco dental implant abutments are intended to be used in conjunction with Thommen System dental implants in the maxillary and/or mandibular arch to provide support for crowns, bridges and overdentures.

DEVICE DESCRIPTION

V ARIOeco abutments are titanium dental implant abutments for use with Thommen System dental implants for fabrication of porcelain-fused-to-metal (PFM) restorations. VARIOeco includes two abutment designs, one for single tooth (crown) and one for multi-tooth (bridge) restorations. A laboratory burn-out cap and abutment screw are provided together with the abutment in the VARIOeco set. Both VARIOeco abutment designs are provided in five platform diameters (3.5, 4.0, 4.5, 5.0 and 6.0 mm) corresponding to Thommen System dental implants (ELEMENT, CONTACT and ONETIME).

EQUIVALENCE TO MARKETED DEVICE

Thommen Medical AG has submitted information in this Premarket Notification to demonstrate that, for the purposes of FDA's regulation of medical devices. VARIOeco is substantially equivalent in indications and design principles to the following legally marketed predicate devices:

Thommen Medical AG. SPI® EASY 4.0 Abutment - K071453. Thommen Medical AG, SPI® Dental Implant Abutments - K031747, Altatec GmbH, CAMLOG® Vario SR Abutments - K103252,

The subject VARIOeco abutment and predicates straight SPI EASY Abutment and straight VarioSR Abutment are all titanium abutments with a burn-out plastic sleeve for restoration fabrication.

The subject device and the predicate devices have the same intended use and have the same technological characteristics. They encompass the same range of physical dimensions, including platform diameter, abutment height and abutment/implant interface. The subject and predicate devices are packaged in similar materials and sterilized using similar methods. Any differences in the technological characteristics do not raise new issues of safety or efficacy.

Dear Ms. Schulz:

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.
