Intended Use

Blue Sky Bio Zygomatic Implant System is indicated for surgical installation in the zygoma region, in cases of severe jaw resorption, in order to restore patient esthetics and chewing function. Blue Sky Bio zygomatic implants are recommended for the posterior (pre-molar/molar) region, one implant on each side, with at least two standard dental implants in the anterior region to support a fixed restoration. Blue Sky Bio zygomatic implants may be loaded immediately when good primary stability is achieved and with appropriate occlusal loading.

Device Description

Blue Sky Bio Zygomatic Implant System submission includes threaded root-form dental implants and mating abutments designed for placement into the zygomatic bone. The zygomatic implants are provided with an internal hexagon connection and a tapered internal hexagon interface for connection to the subject abutments. The internal hexagon connection implants are provided with a body diameter of 4.7 mm and platform diameters of 3.5 mm and 4.5 mm. The tapered internal hexagon connection implants are provided with a body diameter of 4.3 mm and a narrow platform (NP) connection, and with a body diameter of 5.0 mm with a regular platform (RP) connection. All implants are provided in multiple overall threaded lengths ranging from 35 mm to 55 mm. This submission includes mating abutments with platform diameters of 3.5, 4.3, and 4.5 mm. and each abutment diameter is provided with 17° and 30° of angulation. All subject device abutments are for support of screw-retained overdenture prosthetic restorations. The abutment screws compatible with the subject device abutments were cleared in K060957 and K102034. The subject device zygomatic implants are made of titanium alloy conforming to ASTM F136 Standard Specification for Wrought Titanium-6Aluminum-4Vanadium ELI (Extra Low Interstitial) Alloy for Surgical Implant Applications (UNS R56401). The previously cleared abutment screws also are made of material conforming to ASTM F136.

AI/ML Overview

This is a 510(k) premarket notification for a dental implant system, which primarily relies on demonstrating substantial equivalence to already legally marketed predicate devices rather than proving a device meets specific performance acceptance criteria through a clinical study. Therefore, much of the requested information regarding acceptance criteria, sample sizes for test sets, expert ground truth establishment, adjudication methods, MRMC studies, standalone performance, and training set details are not applicable in this context.

The document mainly focuses on comparing the new device's characteristics to those of predicate devices and showing that any differences do not raise new questions of safety or effectiveness.

Here's a breakdown of the information that is available or applicable from the provided text:

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance:

Since this is a substantial equivalence submission, formal "acceptance criteria" in the sense of predefined thresholds for clinical performance against a disease are not provided. Instead, the device demonstrates performance through engineering analysis, dimensional analysis, and dynamic compression-bending testing to show it is comparable to predicate devices.

Acceptance Criteria (Implied by Substantial Equivalence to Predicate)Reported Device Performance (Summary)
BiocompatibilityReferenced from predicate devices K102034 and K060957, implying the new device materials are biocompatible.
Dimensional AnalysisCompared to predicate devices. The subject device implants are in the same overall length range as the primary predicate K141777 (35 mm to 52.5 mm), and the 55 mm length is supported by reference predicate K093562. Smaller body diameter (4.3 mm) is supported by reference predicate K093562 (4.05 mm) and dynamic compression-bending testing. Abutment platform diameters (3.5, 4.3, 4.5 mm) and angulations (17°, 30°) are presented.
Dynamic Compression-Bending Testing (Fatigue Performance)According to ISO 14801 (Dentistry - Implants - Dynamic fatigue test for endosseous dental implants). Demonstrated fatigue performance substantially equivalent to that of the primary predicate K141777, especially for worst-case constructs (smallest diameter implant - Taper Hex 4.3 mm body diameter - and largest angulation - 30°). This implies meeting or exceeding the predicate's fatigue resistance as tested per the standard.
Material CompositionTi-6Al-4V conforming to ASTM F136, same as previously cleared components in K102034 and K060957.
Surface FinishGrit blasted and acid etched for endosseous surface, same as predicate implants in K102034 and K060957.
Sterilization & PackagingSimilar materials and processes as described in K102034 and K060957 (implants sterilized, abutments provided non-sterile for sterilization by user).

2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance:

  • Sample Size for Test Set: Not explicitly stated in terms of a "number of cases" or "number of patients" as this was a non-clinical submission. For the dynamic compression-bending testing per ISO 14801, the standard typically specifies the number of samples required for fatigue testing, but the exact number used in this specific test is not provided in the summary.
  • Data Provenance: Non-clinical (lab-based engineering and material testing). Not applicable in terms of country of origin or retrospective/prospective for clinical data.

3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts:

Not applicable. Ground truth in a clinical sense (e.g., disease presence/absence determined by expert radiologists) is not relevant for this type of non-clinical device submission.

4. Adjudication method for the test set:

Not applicable. No expert adjudication process as this was a non-clinical submission.

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:

Not applicable. This device is a physical dental implant system, not an AI-powered diagnostic tool. Therefore, MRMC studies and AI assistance metrics are irrelevant.

6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done:

Not applicable. This is not an algorithm or AI device.

7. The type of ground truth used:

  • For Biocompatibility: Material specifications (ASTM F136) and prior clearance of similar materials in predicate devices (K102034 and K060957).
  • For Dimensional Analysis: Engineering drawings and measurements, compared against predicate device specifications.
  • For Dynamic Compression-Bending Testing: The performance requirements of the ISO 14801 standard and the comparative performance of the primary predicate device (K141777).

8. The sample size for the training set:

Not applicable. This is not a machine learning or AI device that requires a training set.

9. How the ground truth for the training set was established:

Not applicable. No training set was used.

The subject device and the primary predicate K141777 have substantially equivalent indications for use, including restoration of patient esthetics and chewing function, and immediate loading when used with standard dental implants placed in the anterior region to support a fixed restoration. The implants of the subject device and the predicate device K141777 have similar designs and dimensions, including lengths appropriate for zygomatic placement.

The subject zygomatic implants are very similar in design to endosseous dental implants from Blue Sky Bio cleared in K102034 and K060957. except for a slight change in the endosseous thread and the longer lengths appropriate for zygomatic placement. The subject zygomatic implants are provided in a range of implant body diameters (maximum endosseous thread diameters) of 4.3 mm to 5.0 mm, the same as the predicate implants cleared in K102034 and K060957. The smaller subject device implant body (4.3 mm diameter) as compared to the primary predicate K141777 (4.4 mm diameter) is supported by the reference predicate K093562 (4.05 mm body diameter), and by and dynamic compression-bending testing according to ISO 14801.

The subject device implants are provided in the same range of overall lengths as the primary predicate K141777 (35 mm to 52.5 mm), and the subject device 55 mm length implant is supported by the reference predicate K093562.

This submission includes abutments with an internal hexagon and tapered internal hexagon interfaces for connection to the subject zygomatic implants. The subject device abutments are provided with platform diameters of 3.5. 4.3. and 4.5 mm. and angulation of 17° or 30°. The subject device abutments are substantially equivalent to the abutments cleared in K102034 and K060957 in terms of implant-abutment connections, platform diameters, angulation, and materials. The subject abutments are to be used with compatible abutment screws cleared in K102034 and K060957.

Differences between the subject device and the primary predicate K141777 include the location of angulation correction (subject device includes abutments with angulation, versus K141777 implant designs included angulation at the abutment-implant connection), and the amount of angulation (subject device 17° or 30°, versus K141777 only 45°). These differences between the subject device and the primary predicate are supported by dynamic compression-bending testing according to ISO 14801. Dynamic testing of worst case subject device constructs consisting of the smallest diameter implant (Taper Hex 4.3 mm body diameter) and largest angulation (30°)

{7}------------------------------------------------

demonstrated fatigue performance substantially equivalent to that of the primary predicate K141777.

The subject device implants and abutments are made of titanium alloy conforming to ASTM F136 Standard Specification for Wrought Titanium-6Aluminum-4Vanadium ELI (Extra Low Interstitial) Alloy for Surgical Implant Applications (UNS R56401), the same as these components cleared in K102034 and K060957. The endosseous surface finish of the subject device implants is the same as the predicate implants cleared in K102034 and K060957.

The subject device implants have similar packaging and are sterilized using the same materials and processes as described in K102034 and K060957. The subject device abutments are provided nonsterile in similar packaging and are to be sterilized using the same processes as described in K102034 and K060957.

CONCLUSION

The subject device and the predicate devices have intended use, have similar technological characteristics, and are made of similar materials. The subject device and predicate devices encompass the same range of physical dimensions, including diameter and length of the implants, and the diameter and angulation of the abutments. The subject and predicate devices are packaged in similar materials and sterilized using similar methods.

The data included in this submission demonstrate substantial equivalence to the predicate devices listed above.
