Intended Use
The ERA® Micro 23° and 30° Females are intended to be used as a retention device in conjunction with the Sterngold Acid Etch Dental Implant System in the maxillary and/or mandibular arch to provide support for overdentures for partially and fully edentulous patients.
Device Description
The ERA® Micro 23° and 30° Female Abutment is a prosthetic component intended to facilitate functional parallelism of the ERA® Females despite diverging implants during prosthetic rehabilitation. It is intended to be used in conjunction with the Sterngold Acid Etch Dental Implant System in the maxillary and/or mandibular arch to provide support for overdentures for partially and fully edentulous patients. It is intended to support single and multiple tooth prostheses in the mandible or maxilla. It is provided in a 3.22mm diameter and two angles (23° and 30°). These devices have a two piece design configuration; the two-piece assembly consists of a straight base which has a screw post that gets engaged into the internal threading of the dental implant and an angled female, which allows the user to achieve functional parallelism with divergent implants. The ERA® Micro 23° and 30° Female Abutment is manufactured from the same materials as the predicate devices. The specification for the material used to manufacture the ERA® Micro 23º and 30º Female is 6AL-4V ELI titanium classified as ASTM F136-11. The female receptacle of the ERA® Micro 23° and 30° female abutment, which resides at or above the gingival crest and couples with the Stern ERA System male attachments, is coated with titanium nitride (TiN), which has been cleared under K921010. No coating is applied to snap-in post of the angled female insert or the bases. These devices are supplied non-sterile in a sealed pouch including instructions for use. Instructions for Use indicate recommended method of sterilization prior to use. These parts are packaged individually.
More Information

No
The device description and performance studies focus on mechanical properties and materials, with no mention of AI or ML.

No
Explanation: The device is described as a prosthetic component (ERA® Micro 23° and 30° Female Abutment) intended to provide support for overdentures for partially and fully edentulous patients. While it serves a supportive function in a dental prosthesis, it does not actively deliver a therapeutic effect in the sense of treating a disease or condition through biological, chemical, or physical means. It is a mechanical retention device.

No

The device is described as a "retention device" and a "prosthetic component" intended to support overdentures and prostheses, not to diagnose medical conditions or diseases.

No

The device is a physical dental abutment made of titanium, not software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to provide support for overdentures in partially and fully edentulous patients. This is a mechanical function within the body, not a diagnostic test performed on samples taken from the body.
  • Device Description: The description details a prosthetic component used for mechanical retention and parallelism of dental implants. It describes its physical characteristics, materials, and how it connects to implants and other prosthetic components. This aligns with a medical device used for treatment or support, not diagnosis.
  • Lack of IVD Indicators: The text does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
    • Analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
    • Detecting or measuring substances in biological samples
    • Providing information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening of diseases or conditions
    • Reagents, calibrators, or controls used in laboratory testing

The device is clearly a dental prosthetic component used for mechanical support in patients with dental implants.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

Performance testing was performed following "Guidance for Industry and FDA Staff -Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Root-form Endosseous Dental Implants and Endosseous Dental Abutments." and ISO 14801:2007. Performance testing demonstrated that the device performs according to its intended use.

Fatigue testing was conducted in accordance with ISO 14801:2007 Dentistry - Implants-Dynamic fatigue test for endosseous dental implants. The testing was conducted on a 30° angled female abutment and a small diameter (3.75mm) Sterngold Acid Etch Dental Implant finished product. This was determined to be the worst case scenario, largest angle, smallest diameter implant.

Samples were tested with the implants long axis at 40° angle of correction.

The hemispherical cap to fix the moment arm at 11mm, ensuring that no lateral constraint occurs is represented by a white ERA male component, which represents how this device is intended to be used.

Fatigue testing demonstrated that the ERA® Micro 23° and 30° Females have sufficient mechanical strength and resistance to fatigue for the intended clinical application and that they are substantially equivalent to the listed predicate devices.
