Intended Use
The Stern AC Dental Implant System can be used in dental implant applications for oral rehabilitation of edentulous and partially dentate patients in the maxilla and mandible. Implant retained restorations may consist of single crowns or bridges as well as complete or partial dentures. The Stern AC Dental Implant System is intended for delayed loading. It is also indicated for immediate loading with good primary stability and appropriate occlusal loading. The Stern AC Dental Implants are compatible with the Straumann Rn Synocta, Straumann SynOcta Meso Abutments, Straumann RC Temporary Abutments, Straumann RC Cementable abutments and Stern IC Solid Abutments. The Stern AC Dental Implant System is only intended for use with straight abutments.
Device Description
The proposed implant is a self-tapping, double thread screw implant, manufactured from pure grade 4 titanium. The implant is acid etched except for the neck, which is machined to a smooth finish. Stern AC Implants are manufactured with a flared neck, used for one-stage, transgingival implantation. The neck and body include an internal taper and octagon. The implants are manufactured with three body diameters, 3.3 mm, 4.0 mm, and 5.0 mm, all with the same prosthetic head. The proposed implants are prosthetically compatible with the Straumann ITI implant system and the Stern IC Dental Implant System previously approved for market: Straumann Rn Synocta - K073628 Straumann SynOcta Meso Abutments - K033243 Straumann RC Temporary Abutments - K093027 Straumann RC Cementable abutments - K072071 Stern IC Solid Abutments - K111798 They are packaged sterile in a double blister, which contains implant with an implant mount screw secured in a titanium tube. The Mount Body is screwed into the using the mount screw, which keeps it in place. This configuration is known as "Direct Delivery", which allows the surgeon to transport the implant from the package to the prepared implant site and save chairside time. The proposed Stern AC Dental Implant will be available in a range of lengths and diameters.
More Information

No
The document describes a physical dental implant system and its components, with no mention of software, algorithms, or any technology related to AI or ML.

Yes.
The device is used for oral rehabilitation of edentulous and partially dentate patients, which is a therapeutic purpose.

No

This device is a dental implant system used for oral rehabilitation, which is a therapeutic rather than a diagnostic function.

No

The device description clearly details a physical implant made of titanium, packaged sterile, and intended for surgical implantation. There is no mention of software as the primary or sole component of the device.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes a device for oral rehabilitation through dental implant applications. This is a surgical procedure, not a diagnostic test performed on samples taken from the body.
  • Device Description: The description details a physical implant made of titanium, designed to be surgically placed in the jawbone. This is a medical device, not a diagnostic reagent or instrument used to analyze biological samples.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), detecting specific analytes, or providing diagnostic information about a patient's health status.

The device is a dental implant system, which falls under the category of medical devices used for surgical and restorative purposes.

§ 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.
