Intended Use
The IMMEDIATELOAD Dental Implant System is intended to be surgically inserted into the jawbone for support and retention of dental prosthesis such as artificial teeth, crowns, bridges and overdenture to restore the aesthetics of the patient and the mastication function. The IMMEDIATELOAD dental implant system is indicated also for immediate loading when good primary stability is achieved and with appropriate occlusal loading. The UNIVERSE implants can be used for surgery in two stages or in single stage. The POWER and SOLUTION implants can be used for surgery in single stage.
Device Description
All IMMEDIATELOAD dental implants have a double external thread that looks flattened from the proximal area to the distal area. There are three types of implants: UNIVERSE (conical biphasic), POWER (conical monophasic), and SOLUTION (cylindrical monophasic), available in different diameters and length combinations. All the implants are made of Titanium Grade 4. They are provided sterile and are ready to be implanted. For each measure, the connection between the biphasic implant and the relative prosthetic component is secured by a locking taper connection and a preformed hexagon and by a retained screw. The abutments are prosthetic accessories made of Titanium Grade 5; they are used to engage, form and create dentures. In particular, the abutment is designed to be applied on the biphasic implant during the surgical reopening, after osseointegration. The straight abutment IMMEDIATE has a straight axis compared to implant's axis. It has a transmucosal collar height ranging from 1 mm to 4 mm. The inclined abutment IMMEDIATE has axis inclined of 15° compared to the implant's axis. It has a transmucosal collar height ranging from 1 mm to 3 mm. These abutments are fixed to the UNIVERSE implant via a connection screw. The OTK abutment is straight and contains an internal connection screw. It has a transmucosal collar height from 1 mm to 3 mm. The abutments are provided non-sterile and the connection screw for abutments are all provided non-sterile and are intended to be sterilized before use.
More Information

No
The summary describes a standard dental implant system made of titanium, with no mention of AI or ML in its intended use, device description, or performance studies.

Yes

The device is a dental implant system intended to restore aesthetics and mastication function in patients, which is a therapeutic purpose.

No

The device description clearly states that the dental implant system is for surgical insertion into the jawbone to support and retain dental prostheses, which is a therapeutic function rather than a diagnostic one.

No

The device description clearly details physical components made of titanium (implants and abutments) that are surgically inserted into the jawbone. This is a hardware medical device, not software-only.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the device is surgically inserted into the jawbone to support dental prostheses. This is a direct surgical intervention on the patient's body.
  • Device Description: The description details the physical components of the implant system (implants, abutments, screws) which are designed for surgical implantation and mechanical support.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue samples) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment.

IVD devices are used in vitro (outside the body) to analyze biological samples. This device is used in vivo (inside the body) for structural support.

IMMEDIATELOAD S.A. has conducted laboratory testing and determined device functionality and conformance to design input requirements. The material used for the IMMEDIATELOAD dental Implant System, as well as the manufacturing methods, are similar to legally marketed devices. Surface treatment used for IMMEDIATELOAD dental Implant System is considered equivalent to the surface treatment method used for the predicate devices.

Non-clinical Testing of the subject device included the following:

  • End User Steam Sterilization Test according to ISO 17665-1:2006, 17665-2:2009 and ANSI/AAMI ST79:2010.
  • · Biocompatibility tests according to ISO 10993-1:2009, ISO 10993-5:2009, and ISO 10993-10:2010.
  • · Fatigue Testing according to ISO 14801:2007

The results regarding the fatigue testing of IMMEDIATELOAD dental implants and the predicate devices were comparable. Therefore, it concluded that the IMMEDIATELOAD dental implants perform as intended. Cytotoxicity testing has demonstrated the biocompatibility of the devices.

DEVICE DESCRIPTION

All IMMEDIATELOAD dental implants have a double external thread that looks flattened from the proximal area to the distal area. There are three types of implants: UNIVERSE (conical biphasic), POWER (conical monophasic), and SOLUTION (cylindrical monophasic), available in different diameters and length combinations. All the implants are made of Titanium Grade 4. They are provided sterile and are ready to be implanted.

For each measure, the connection between the biphasic implant and the relative prosthetic component is secured by a locking taper connection and a preformed hexagon and by a retained screw.

The abutments are prosthetic accessories made of Titanium Grade 5; they are used to engage, form and create dentures. In particular, the abutment is designed to be applied on the biphasic implant during the surgical reopening, after osseointegration. The straight abutment IMMEDIATE has a straight axis compared to implant's axis. It has a transmucosal collar height ranging from 1 mm to 4 mm.

The inclined abutment IMMEDIATE has axis inclined of 15° compared to the implant's axis. It has a transmucosal collar height ranging from 1 mm to 3 mm. These abutments are fixed to the UNIVERSE implant via a connection screw. The OTK abutment is straight and contains an internal connection screw. It has a transmucosal collar height from 1 mm to 3 mm. The abutments are provided non-sterile and the connection screw for abutments are all provided non-sterile and are intended to be sterilized before use.

PERFORMANCE DATA

IMMEDIATELOAD S.A. has conducted laboratory testing and determined device functionality and conformance to design input requirements. The material used for the IMMEDIATELOAD dental Implant System, as well as the manufacturing methods, are similar to legally marketed devices. Surface treatment used for IMMEDIATELOAD dental Implant System is considered equivalent to the surface treatment method used for the predicate devices.

Non-clinical Testing of the subject device included the following:

  • End User Steam Sterilization Test according to ISO 17665-1:2006, 17665-2:2009 and ANSI/AAMI ST79:2010.
  • · Biocompatibility tests according to ISO 10993-1:2009, ISO 10993-5:2009, and ISO 10993-10:2010.
  • · Fatigue Testing according to ISO 14801:2007

The results regarding the fatigue testing of IMMEDIATELOAD dental implants and the predicate devices were comparable. Therefore, it concluded that the IMMEDIATELOAD dental implants perform as intended. Cytotoxicity testing has demonstrated the biocompatibility of the devices. Sterility validation testing was performed and demonstrated the equivalence of the devices to their predicates.

Implants are all made of Titanium medical grade 4 (commercially named pure titanium), while the abutments are grade 5 Ti4Al6V ELI Titanium.

SUBSTANTIAL EQUIVALENCE DISCUSSION

The subject device and the primary predicate device have slight differences in the language of the Indications for Use Statements; however, these slight differences specifying particular models to single or two-stage surgeries do not change the intended use of the device. The subject device and the predicated devices also have similar technological characteristics, and are made of similar, if not identical materials. The subject device and predicate devices encompass a very similar or the exact same range of physical dimensions, including diameter and length of the implants and diameter. height and angle of the abutments and a comparative surface area.

CONCLUSION

IMMEDIATELOAD S.A. has demonstrated that the IMMEDIATELOAD Dental Implants System is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices in terms of intended use, material composition, fundamental scientific technology, principles of operation, and basic design.

Based on the foregoing, the IMMEDIATELOAD Dental Implants System is substantially equivalent to the legally marketed, claimed predicate devices.
