Intended Use

KJ External Implant System is indicated for use in partially or fully edentulous mandibles and maxillae, in support of single or multiple-unit restorations including; cemented retained, or overdenture restorations, and terminal or intermediate abutment support for fixed bridgework. KJ External Implant System is for stage surgical procedures. It is intended for delayed loading.

Device Description

The KJ External Implant System is a dental implant system made of Titanium 6AL 4V ELI alloy intended to be surgically placed in the bone of the upper or lower jaw arches for loading after a conventional healing period. The implants may be used to replace one or more missing teeth. The 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 of the implants has been treated with R.B.M (Resorbable Blast Media).

AI/ML Overview

This document is a 510(k) premarket notification summary for the KJ External Implant System, a dental implant device. It establishes substantial equivalence to predicate devices, but it does not contain the kind of detailed study information (acceptance criteria, specific performance metrics, sample sizes for training/test sets, expert qualifications, etc.) that would typically be found in a study proving a device meets acceptance criteria for an AI/algorithm-based medical device.

The information provided relates to the physical and material properties of a dental implant, not to an algorithm's performance. Therefore, I cannot extract the requested information as it is not present in the provided text.

Here's why and what kind of information is provided:

Why the requested information is not present:

  • Device Type: The KJ External Implant System is a physical medical device (a dental implant), not a software or AI-based device. The detailed requests about acceptance criteria, performance metrics, sample sizes for test/training sets, expert ground truth, adjudication methods, and MRMC studies are primarily relevant for evaluating the performance of algorithms or diagnostic imaging devices where subjective interpretation or computational accuracy is key.
  • 510(k) Summary Purpose: A 510(k) summary aims to demonstrate "substantial equivalence" to a legally marketed predicate device. This often involves comparing intended use, technological characteristics, materials, and non-clinical performance (like sterilization, shelf life, and material composition for physical devices). It rarely includes detailed clinical trial data or algorithm validation studies unless the device itself is a diagnostic algorithm or introduces novel performance claims requiring such studies.

What is provided in the document (and why it's different from your request):

  • Device Description: It describes the physical characteristics of the dental implant, including its material (Titanium 6AL 4V ELI alloy), surface treatment (R.B.M), and available sizes (diameters and lengths).
  • Intended Use/Indications for Use: For use in partially or fully edentulous mandibles and maxillae, supporting various restorations, and intended for delayed loading.
  • Predicate Devices: The document identifies predicate devices (US SYSTEM by Osstem Implant Co., Ltd. (K062030) and Hero II/IS Dental Implant System by KJ Meditech Co., Ltd. (K121047)) to which the new device is compared for substantial equivalence.
  • Non-Clinical Testing: This section mentions tests performed to demonstrate safety and performance for a physical implant:
    • Sterilization validation (ISO 11137, ISO 11737-1 & -2, ISO 17665-1 & -2)
    • 3-year shelf-life validation (accelerating testing)
    • Chemical and SEM image analyses for residual RBM treatment (on fixtures)

Therefore, an actual table of acceptance criteria and the requested study details for an AI/algorithm device cannot be constructed from this document.

6. Indication for use:

The KJ External Implant System is indicated for use in partially or fully edentulous mandibles and maxillae, in support of single or multiple-unit restorations including; cemented retained, screw retained, or overdenture restorations, and terminal or intermediate abutment support for fixed bridgework. KJ External Implant System is for single and two stage surgical procedures. It is intended for delayed loading.

7. Basis for Substantial Equivalence

Similarities

The KJ External Implant System has the same intended use as the identified predicate device (K062030). The KJ External Implant System and US System are similar in fundamental scientific technology in that they are all threaded, root form implants constructed of titanium with RBM roughened surfaces. They all share same external hexagon abutment connection system with external beveled interface for maximum prosthetic stability. The subject and predicate devices are both bone-level implants that share similar neck design and cutting edge.

Difference

The difference is the body shape: the subject device has straight body. whereas the predicate device (K062030) has semi-tapered shape. However this is only the minor design factor, so it does not raise new questions on safety and effectiveness of the subject device.

8. Non-Clinical Testing

  • . Sterilization validating testing has been performed in accordance with ISO 11137. ISO 11737-1 & ISO 11737-2 for gamma sterilization and ISO 17665-1 and ISO 17665-2 for steam sterilization.
  • Three year of shelf life has been validated through accelerating testing. .
  • . Chemical and SEM image analyses have been performed to verify that there is no residual after RBM treatment on the fixtures.

9. Conclusion

The subject devices and the predicate devices have the same intended use and have similar technological characteristics. The subject and predicate implants are all made of commercially pure titanium and have the same surface treatments.

Overall, the KJ External Implant System has the following similarities to the predicate devices:

    • has the same intended use,
    • uses the same operating principle,
    • incorporates the same basic design,
    • incorporates the same material and the surface treatment.

{6}------------------------------------------------

Based on the similarities, we conclude that the KJ External Implant System is substantially equivalent to the predicate device.

§ 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)
