Intended Use

InterActive/SwishPlus2 Implant System consists of two-piece implants for one-stage or two-stage surgical procedures. These implants are intended for use in partially and fully edentulous upper and lower jaws in support of single or multiple-unit restorations and terminal or intermediate abutment support for fixed bridgework: Implants can be indicated for immediate loading when good primary stability has been achieved and with appropriate occlusal loading.

Narrow Diameter (3.2, 3.3mm) Implants: Indicated for single-tooth replacement of mandibular central and lateral incisors and maxillary lateral incisors. Also indicated for multiple tooth replacements or denture stabilization.

Compatibility: InterActive and SwishPlus2 implants are prosthetically compatible with InterActive 3.0 and 3.4mm abutments and Nobel Biocare conical connection NobelActive™ NP (Narrow Platform - 3.0mm diameter) and NobelActive™ RP (Regular Platform - 3.4mm diameter) abutments. InterActive 3.0 and 3.4mm abutments are prosthetically compatible with Nobel Biocare conical connection NobelActive™ NP (Narrow Platform- 3.0mm diameter) and NobelActive™ RP (Regular Platform - 3.4mm diameter) (3.5-5.0mmD, 8.5-18mmLength) implants.

Device Description

The InterActive/SwishPlus2 Implant System consists of InterActive implant, SwishPlus2 implant, abutments, healing components, and screws for use in one or two-stage placement and restorations.

The InterActive implants are two-stage implants that offer four body diameters (3.2, 3.7, 4.3 and 5.0mm) in six lengths (All 6 thru 16mm except for the 3.2 which is 8-16mm). The SwishPlus2 implant body diameters (3.3, 4.1, 4.8, and 5.7mm) in six lengths (All 6 thru 16mm except for the 3.3mm which is 8-16mm).

The InterActive dental implant is a tapered screw-type endosseous with an external thread configuration consisting of double-lead threads over the body of the implant and 2mm of quadruple lead mini-threads near the coronal portion of the implant. The implant body features an even taper from the apical along its body and a straight walled coronal aspect. The implants offer two interface diameters (3.0mm and 3.4mm) which are identical to the interface of the predicate devices, NobelActive implants, having a conical leading bevel and an internal hex engaging surface.

The SwishPlus2 dental implant is a screw-type endosseous with an external thread configuration consisting of single lead threads over the body of the implant and 2mm of micro-grooves near the coronal portion of the implant. The implant body features an even taper at the apical end and a straight wall coronal aspect. The SwishPlus2 (two-stage) implant offer two interface diameters (3.0mm and 3.4mm) which are identical to the interface diameters of the predicate devices, NobelActive implants, having a conical leading bevel and an internal hex engaging surface.

The InterActive/ SwishPlus2 implants are available with two surface coatings: SBM Blast and HA Coating.

AI/ML Overview

Here's an analysis of the acceptance criteria and supporting studies for the InterActive/SwishPlus2 Implant System, based on the provided 510(k) summary:

The InterActive/SwishPlus2 Implant System is a dental implant system. The application does not describe an AI/ML device.

Therefore, most of the requested information (like sample size for test/training sets, data provenance, number of experts for ground truth, adjudication methods, MRMC studies, standalone performance, etc.) is not applicable to this submission. The 510(k) primarily focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to predicate devices through technological characteristics and non-clinical performance testing.

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

Since this is a dental implant device and not an AI/ML system, "acceptance criteria" here refers to demonstrating substantial equivalence to predicate devices across various technological characteristics and meeting relevant mechanical safety standards. There isn't a direct "performance metric" in the way one would define it for an AI/ML model (e.g., accuracy, sensitivity, AUC). Instead, performance is demonstrated by meeting or exceeding the mechanical properties of the predicate devices.

Feature / Acceptance Criteria CategoryReported Device Performance (as demonstrated by comparison or testing)
Indications for UseSubstantially equivalent to multiple predicate devices. Intended for use in partially and fully edentulous upper and lower jaws for single or multiple-unit restorations, fixed bridgework support, and immediate loading when primary stability is achieved. Narrow diameter implants are indicated for specific single or multiple tooth replacements and denture stabilization.

Sterilization ValidationValidated in accordance with ISO 17665 -1&2.

2. Sample Sizes Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance

This is not an AI/ML device, so there is no "test set" in that context. The "testing" involved non-clinical performance and mechanical safety testing on the device prototypes/samples. The document does not specify the exact number of units tested for each mechanical test, but mentions "worst-case devices."

The data provenance is from non-clinical laboratory testing conducted by the manufacturer, Implant Direct Sybron Manufacturing LLC, located in Calabasas Hills, CA, USA. This is not retrospective or prospective patient data.

3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications of Those Experts

Not applicable, as this is not an AI/ML device requiring expert-labeled ground truth from medical images or clinical data. The "ground truth" for mechanical testing is established by engineering standards and specifications (e.g., ISO 14801 for mechanical properties of dental implants).

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

Not applicable. Mechanical testing results are typically evaluated against pre-defined engineering thresholds and standards, not through expert adjudication.

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, as this is not an AI/ML device.

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

Not applicable, as this is not an AI/ML device.

7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

For the non-clinical performance testing (mechanical strength, fatigue, torque tests), the "ground truth" is derived from established international and FDA-recognized engineering standards and guidance documents, specifically:

  • FDA "Class II Special Control Guidance Document: Root-form Endosseous Dental Implants and Endosseous Dental Abutments"
  • ISO 14801 (Dentistry - Implants - Dynamic loading test for endosseous dental implants)
  • ISO 17665 -1&2 (Sterilization of health care products - Moist heat - Part 1: Requirements for the development, validation and routine control of a sterilization process for medical devices).

The device's performance is compared against the performance of similar predicate devices (physical products) that have already been cleared by the FDA.

8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

Not applicable, as this is not an AI/ML device. There is no training set.

9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established

Not applicable, as this is not an AI/ML device.


Summary of the Study Proving Device Meets Acceptance Criteria:

The study to demonstrate the device meets acceptance criteria was a non-clinical performance testing program. This program involved:

  • Mechanical Safety (Strength) Testing: Conducted on "worst-case devices" following FDA "Class II Special Control Guidance Document: Root-form Endosseous Dental Implants and Endosseous Dental Abutments" and ISO 14801. This included:
    • Static compression bending tests
    • Fatigue tests
    • Implant driving torque tests
    • Abutment/screw torque to failure tests
      The results showed that the components exhibited equivalent mechanical strength to the predicate devices and that the implant/abutment combinations could withstand loads higher than functional masticatory loads.
  • Sterilization Validation: Carried out in accordance with ISO 17665 -1&2, meeting the requirements and complying with the standards.
  • Substantial Equivalence Comparison: Detailed comparison of the InterActive/SwishPlus2 Implant System's technological characteristics (indications for use, general design, placement method, material, surface treatment, body dimensions, interface, engaging features, and abutment compatibility) against multiple legally marketed predicate devices (e.g., NobelActive 3.0, NobelActive Internal Connection Implants, Spectra-System Dental Implants, SwissPlant Dental Implant System, Bicon Implants, Straumann ITI Dental Implant System). The submission argues that the new device has the same intended use, same technological characteristics, implant/abutment interface, and similar materials and surface treatments as the predicates.

No clinical testing was performed; the decision was supported by clinical evaluation based on the established safety and effectiveness of the predicate devices and the documented substantial equivalence.
