Intended Use
Dental Morelli Orthodontic Dental Implant is a threaded titanium dental implant screw intended to serve as a fixed anchorage point for attachment of orthodontic appliances to facilitate the orthodontic movement of teeth. The device is used temporarily and is removed after orthodontic treatment.
Device Description
The Orthodontic Miniscrew for Absolute Anchorage is an implantable medical device used as a temporary skeletal anchorage point for orthodontic movements. The mini screw is intended to receive low intensity static clinical loads. Maximum dynamic forces may occur at low frequencies for short periods; which is inadequate to compromise the performance of the product through fatigue. The device is available in different lengths (6, 8, 10, mm), diameter 1.5 mm, and supplied in sealed sterile polyethylene bags.

No
The summary describes a physical dental implant and its mechanical properties, with no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate AI/ML.

No
The device is used as a fixed anchorage point for attachment of orthodontic appliances to facilitate the orthodontic movement of teeth. It is not intended to treat or cure a disease or condition directly.

No

The device is an orthodontic implant used as an anchorage point for facilitating tooth movement, not for diagnosing conditions. Its function is interventional, not diagnostic.

No

The device description clearly states it is an "implantable medical device" and a "threaded titanium dental implant screw," indicating it is a physical hardware device, not software.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health.
  • Device Description: The description clearly states that the Dental Morelli Orthodontic Dental Implant is a "threaded titanium dental implant screw intended to serve as a fixed anchorage point for attachment of orthodontic appliances." It is an implantable device used directly in the body.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is to facilitate orthodontic movement of teeth by providing an anchorage point. This is a mechanical function within the body, not a diagnostic test performed on a sample outside the body.

Therefore, this device falls under the category of an implantable medical device, not an In Vitro Diagnostic.

§ 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.

Substantial Equivalence

The Orthodontic Miniscrew for Absolute Anchorage is made from the same material as the predicate Aarhus Anchorage System K041527 and has similar dimensions and characteristics. Micro Titanium Plate System following ASTMF 136-98 which is generally used in this kind of bone screw therefore no further testing was conducted.

All reports show that the Orthodontic Miniscrew for Absolute Anchorage is substantially equivalent in design, material, intended use and function to Aarhus Anchorage System K041527. They are made of the same material and have similar dimensions and characteristics. Potential adverse effects are identical. Both devices are manufactured from titanium ASTMF 136-98 which is generally used in this kind of bone screw.

Performance Testing

The Orthodontic Miniscrew for Absolute Anchorage conforms to the following . standards:

  • ASTM F136 .
  • ASTM F1980-07 .
  • ISO 11137 �

ASTM F136: This specification covers the chemical, mechanical, and metallurgical reguirements for wrought annealed titanium-6aluminum-4vanadium ELI (extra low interstitial) alloy (R56401) to be used in the manufacture of surgical implants. The products are classified into: strip, sheet, plate, bar, forging bar, and wire. The heat analysis shall conform to the chemical composition requirements specified. Product analysis tolerances do not broaden the specified heat analysis requirements but cover variations between laboratories in the measurement of chemical content. Tension test and bend test shall be performed to meet the requirements specified.

ASTM F1980-07: The loss of sterile barrier system integrity may occur as a result of physical properties of the materials and adhesive or cohesive bonds degrading over time and by subsequent dynamic events during shipping and handling.

ISO 11137: Sterilization of Health Care Products Package provides the requirements for developing, validating and routinely controlling the sterilization process of medical devices. In addition to providing the requirements for the sterilization process of medical devices, this package also considers the
