No
The device description and intended use are purely mechanical, and there are no mentions of AI, ML, or related concepts in the provided text.
No
The device is described as fixed anchorage for orthodontic appliances to facilitate tooth movement, indicating it is an accessory for a therapeutic process rather than a therapeutic device itself.
No
The device is described as fixed anchorage for orthodontic appliances to facilitate tooth movement, indicating a treatment rather than diagnostic function.
No
The device description clearly states the device is made of stainless steel and titanium alloy, describing physical dimensions and design features. This indicates a hardware device, not software.
No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health. This information is used for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
- Device Function: The description clearly states that these screws are used as a "fixed anchorage for attachment of orthodontic appliances to facilitate the orthodontic movement of teeth." They are physically implanted into the bone to provide a point of attachment for orthodontic forces.
- Lack of Specimen Analysis: There is no mention of analyzing any biological specimens from the patient. The device's function is purely mechanical and structural within the body.
The device described is a medical device, specifically an orthodontic implant/appliance component, but it does not fit the definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic 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)
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.

4. Performance Data (Nonclinical Testing)
The procedure of evaluating the pull out strength and insertion torque was according to the standard of ASTM-F543. Both of comparative testing was done to our own predicate device to demonstrate substantial equivalence.
5. Substantial Equivalence
The Syntec Wetali Orthodontic Mini Screws is as safe and effective as Syntec Orthodontic Mini Screws (K090476). The Syntec Wetali Orthodontic Mini Screws has the same intended uses and similar indications, technological characteristics, and principles of operation as its predicate device. The minor technological differences between the Syntec Wetali Orthodontic Mini Screws and its predicate devices raise no new issues of safety or effectiveness. Performance data demonstrate that the Syntec Wetali Orthodontic Mini Screws is as safe and effective as Syntec Orthodontic Mini Screws (K090476). Thus, the Syntec Wetali Orthodontic Mini Screws is substantially equivalent and presents no new concerns about safety and effectiveness.
