Intended Use

The MS SA Implant (Denture) is intended to be placed in the bone of the upper or lower jaw arches to provide support of the prosthetic devices to restore the patient's chewing function, including the denture stabilization. The MS SA Implant (Denture) is intended for single use only. It is intended for delayed loading.

The MS SA Implant (Narrow Ridge) is intended to use in the treatment of missing mandibular central and lateral incisors to support prosthetic device, such as artificial teeth, in order to restore chewing function in partially edentulous patients. The MS SA Implant (Narrow Ridge) is intended for single use only. It is intended for delayed loading.

Device Description

The MS SA Implant System is a dental implant made of titanium alloy (Ti-6Al-4V) metal. The MS SA Implant System is similar to other commercially available products based on the intended use, the technology used, the claims, the material composition employed and performance characteristics. The surface treatment of MS SA Implant System is SA (Sandblasting and Acid etching).

AI/ML Overview

The provided text describes a 510(k) premarket notification for the "MS SA Implant System," a dental implant device. This type of submission focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a legally marketed predicate device, rather than proving direct clinical efficacy through new clinical trials against acceptance criteria. Therefore, much of the requested information regarding acceptance criteria, specific study designs (like MRMC), and detailed performance metrics derived from such studies is not available in this document.

Here's what can be extracted and inferred from the text:

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance:

Since this is a 510(k) submission, the "acceptance criteria" are implicitly met by demonstrating substantial equivalence to predicate devices. The performance is assessed by comparing the device's characteristics to those of the predicate devices. The table below summarizes the comparison presented in the document.

2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance:

  • Not applicable / Not provided. The submission states "No clinical studies are submitted." The evaluation relies on comparison to predicate devices and nonclinical testing.
  • Data provenance: For mechanical testing ("Fatigue testing"), it is conducted according to "Guidance for industry and FDA staff Class II Special Controls Guidance Document Root-form Endosseous Dental Implants and Endosseous Dental Abutment." This implies a standardized laboratory test, not patient data.

3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts (e.g., radiologist with 10 years of experience):

  • Not applicable. No clinical test set requiring expert ground truth assessment was submitted.

4. Adjudication method (e.g., 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set:

  • Not applicable. No clinical test set requiring adjudication was submitted.

5. If a multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done, If so, what was the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance:

  • Not applicable. This device is a dental implant, not an AI-powered diagnostic or assistive tool for human readers. No MRMC study was conducted or is relevant here.

6. If a standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done:

  • Not applicable. This device is a physical dental implant, not an algorithm.

7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.):

  • Not applicable. For the comparative evaluation, the "ground truth" is established by the documented characteristics, materials, and intended uses of the legally marketed predicate devices. For nonclinical testing (fatigue), the ground truth is adherence to established engineering standards and performance requirements for dental implants.

8. The sample size for the training set:

  • Not applicable. No machine learning or AI component requiring a training set is involved.

9. How the ground truth for the training set was established:

Dear Mr. Lim:

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.

§ 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.
