This document is a 510(k) Pre-market Notification for the Implanova® Dental Implant System. It aims to demonstrate substantial equivalence to legally marketed predicate devices. The document does not describe acceptance criteria or a study proving the device meets specific performance criteria with numerical results for the device itself (Implanova®). Instead, it relies on demonstrating substantial equivalence to predicate devices through comparisons of design, materials, intended use, and non-clinical testing for safety and appropriate material and manufacturing characteristics.
Here’s a breakdown of the information that is available within the provided text, and what is not present based on your request:
1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance:
This information is not explicitly provided in the format requested. The document asserts that "the fatiguetest result of the subject device supports that the subject device is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices" (Pages 11 and 12), and that non-clinical testing "supported that the subject device is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices and it is in conformance with the FDA guidance document: Root-form Endosseous Dental Implants and Endosseous Dental Abutments" (Page 17). However, the specific acceptance criteria for these tests (e.g., minimum fatigue strength in MPa or N) and the numerical results achieved by the Implanova® device are not listed. The document focuses on similarity to predicate devices rather than meeting discrete performance metrics presented in a table.
2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g. country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective):
This information is not provided. The document lists types of non-clinical tests but does not specify the sample sizes used for these tests, nor the data provenance. These are typically details found in the full test reports, which are not included here.
3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts (e.g. radiologist with 10 years of experience):
This information is not applicable/provided. The document describes non-clinical, laboratory-based testing (e.g., fatigue, sterilization, cytotoxicity, SEM/EDS) rather than clinical studies requiring expert review of data for ground truth establishment.
4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set:
This information is not applicable/provided. As above, this pertains to clinical study design and human interpretation of results, which is not described here.
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:
This information is not applicable/provided. This document describes an endosseous dental implant system, which is a physical medical device, not an AI-assisted diagnostic or decision support system that would involve human readers or AI improvement metrics.
6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done:
This information is not applicable/provided. This is a physical medical device, not an algorithm.
7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc):
This information is not applicable/provided in the context of clinical "ground truth." The ground truth for the non-clinical tests would be the established scientific methods and standards (e.g., ISO 14801 for fatigue testing, ISO 11137-1 for sterilization).
8. The sample size for the training set:
This information is not applicable/provided. As this is a physical medical device, there is no "training set" in the context of machine learning or AI models.
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established:
This information is not applicable/provided. As above, there is no "training set."
Summary of available information related to performance and predicate devices:
The document primarily demonstrates substantial equivalence by comparing the Implanova® device to several predicate devices.
Key similarities highlighted for Implanova® Bone Level Implants (compared to BioHorizons Tapered Internal Plus, BioHorizons Internal Implants, U fit Dental Implant System):
- Intended Use: Same intended use (endosseous implantation in mandible and maxilla for artificial root structure, single/multiple missing teeth, support prosthesis, immediate loading when primary stability achieved).
- Operating Principle: Same.
- Basic Design: Incorporates same basic design (self-tapping, bone-level type implant, micro-threaded implant collar, tapered implant body).
- Material: Titanium Alloy grade 23 (Ti6Al4V ELI).
- Surface Treatment: Resorbable Blast Texture Media (calcium phosphate), partial surface treatment.
- Sterile: Yes.
- Sterilization Method: Gamma Radiation.
- Size Range: Similar (e.g., Diameter: 3.5mm, 4.5mm, 5.5mm; Length: 8mm, 10mm, 12mm, 14mm).
Key differences and justification for substantial equivalence despite differences:
- Micro-machined grooves vs. Micro threads: Laser-Lok® micro-machined grooves on predicates vs. micro threads on Implanova®. Justification: "functionally identical" as osteocytes cannot differentiate microscopic differences for osseointegration.
- Flute Lengths: Implanova® has longer flute lengths. Justification: "more tapping edges simply ease the tapping processes but functions the same."
- Twist Direction of Vertical Flutes: Implanova® has a minor left-hand twist (18mm pitch) vs. straight or slight right-hand twist on predicates. Justification: "only slightly increases the sharpness of the edges... and passively guides the swarf materials to consolidate... should not render the device NSE."
- Partial Surface Treatment: Implanova® has partial surface treatment (apical 5mm untreated) vs. modified throughout the implant body on predicates. Justification: Untreated apical area maintains sharpness for cutting bone; surface treatment is not a requirement for osseointegration.
- Fatigue Test Result: The document states that "the fatiguetest result of the subject device supports that the subject device is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices." (No numerical results are provided in the excerpt).
Key similarities highlighted for Implanova® All-in-One 3.0mm Implants (compared to Zimmer One-Piece Implant System, NobelDirect 3.0):
- Intended Use: Similar indications for support and retention of fixed single tooth and fixed partial dentures in specific mandibular/maxillary incisor regions, with immediate loading when good primary stability is achieved and appropriate occlusal loading.
- Design & Size: 3.0mm diameter.
- Connection Type: N/A (one-piece design).
- Basic Design: Self-tapping, tissue-level type implant, micro-threaded implant collar, tapered implant body.
- Material: Titanium Alloy grade 23 (Ti6Al4V ELI) (NobelDirect uses CP Titanium grade 4).
- Surface Treatment: Resorbable Blast Texture Media (calcium phosphate), partial surface treatment (Zimmer uses Hydroxyapatite blast media, NobelDirect uses TiUnite).
- Sterile: Yes.
- Sterilization Method: Gamma Radiation.
Key differences and justification for substantial equivalence despite differences:
- Microthreads: Implanova® has microthreads vs. lack of microthreads on predicates. Justification: "only slightly increase the surface area... insignificant deviation... does not render the subject device NSE."
- Flute Lengths, Twist Direction, Partial Surface Treatment: Similar justifications to the bone-level implants regarding these differences.
- Surface Treatment Material: Implanova® uses calcium phosphate blast media; predicates use Hydroxyapatite or TiUnite. Justification: "chemical analysis data... supports that the blast media used for the subject device does not alter surface chemical compositions."
Non-Clinical Testing Performed (Page 17):
- Fatigue Testing (ISO 14801)
- 3rd Party Compatibility
- Sterilization Validation (ISO 11137-1, ISO 11137-2, ISO11737-1, ISO11737-2, ISO 17665-1 and ISO 17665-2)
- Shelf-life Validation (ASTM F1980, ISO 11607-1, ISO 11607-2, ASTM F88, and ASTM F 1929)
- Cytotoxicity Testing (ISO 10993-5)
- SEM/EDS Chemical Surface Analysis
These tests are stated to have "supported that the subject device is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices and it is in conformance with the FDA guidance document: Root-form Endosseous Dental Implants and Endosseous Dental Abutments."

7. Basis for Substantial Equivalence
Implanova® is substantially equivalent to previously marketed devices. Overall, the Implanova® has the following similarities to the predicate devices:
- has the same intended use,
- uses the same operating principle,
- I incorporates the same basic design,
- incorporates the same material and the surface treatment.
- I has similar size range
The subject device is similar to the predicate devices based on the intended use, the principle of operations, the materials, the surface treatment, the size range and the technological characteristics. The external design of the subject device is slightly different from the predicate devices; however, the performance testing provided in this 510K submission supports that the subject device is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices.
