Intended Use
NobelClinician® (DTX Studio Implant) is a software interface for the transfer and visualization of 2D and 3D image information from equipment such as a CT scanner for the purposes of supporting the diagnostic process, treatment planning and follow-up in the dental and cranio-maxillofacial regions. NobelClinician® (DTX Studio Implant) can be used to support guided implant surgery and to provide design input for and review of dental restorative solutions. The results can be exported to be manufactured.
Device Description
NobelClinician® is a software interface used to support the image-based diagnostic process and treatment planning of dental, cranio-maxillofacial, and related treatments. The product will also be marketed as DTX Studio implant. The software offers a visualization technique for (CB)CT images of the patient for the diagnostic and treatment planning process. In addition, 2D image data such as photographic images and X-ray images or surface scans of the intra-oral situation may be visualized to bring diagnostic image data together. Prosthetic information can be added and visualized to support prosthetic implant planning. The surgical plan, including the implant positions and the prosthetic information, can be exported for the design of dental restorations in NobelDesign® (DTX Studio design). Surgical planning may be previewed using the software and the related surgical template may be ordered.
More Information

No
The document explicitly states "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML: Not Found" and the description focuses on image visualization, planning, and export, without mentioning any AI/ML-specific functionalities.

No.
The device is a software interface for image visualization and processing to support diagnostic processes, treatment planning, and design input for dental solutions, but it does not directly apply a therapeutic effect to a patient.

Yes
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states that the software supports "the diagnostic process." The "Device Description" section also notes that it is used to "support the image-based diagnostic process."

Yes

The device description explicitly states it is a "software interface" and details its functions related to image visualization, planning, and export, without mentioning any accompanying hardware components that are part of the medical device itself. The performance studies focus on software verification and validation.

Based on the provided information, NobelClinician® (DTX Studio Implant) is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD).

Here's why:

  • IVDs are used to examine specimens derived from the human body. The intended use and device description of NobelClinician® clearly state that it processes and visualizes image data from equipment like CT scanners, photographic images, X-ray images, and surface scans. These are imaging modalities and data sources, not biological specimens.
  • The purpose of NobelClinician® is to support diagnostic processes, treatment planning, and follow-up based on imaging. While it supports the diagnostic process, it does so by providing tools for visualizing and analyzing medical images, not by performing tests on biological samples to diagnose a condition.

Therefore, NobelClinician® falls under the category of medical imaging software or treatment planning software, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

§ 892.2050 Medical image management and processing system.

(a)
Identification. A medical image management and processing system is a device that provides one or more capabilities relating to the review and digital processing of medical images for the purposes of interpretation by a trained practitioner of disease detection, diagnosis, or patient management. The software components may provide advanced or complex image processing functions for image manipulation, enhancement, or quantification that are intended for use in the interpretation and analysis of medical images. Advanced image manipulation functions may include image segmentation, multimodality image registration, or 3D visualization. Complex quantitative functions may include semi-automated measurements or time-series measurements.(b)

VI. Comparison of Technological Characteristics

NobelClinician® and the predicate device share the following characteristics:

  • Treatment of same anatomic areas (maxilla, mandible, and cranio-maxillofacial)
  • . Patient data management features
  • 3D planning environment ●
  • Creation of surgical templates (through a radiographic guide workflow) ●
  • Communication module (data sharing capability) using NobelConnect and ● NobelClinician® Viewer
  • . Order module
  • . Support of the NobelGuide1 clinical concept for oral rehabilitation based on dental implants.

NobelClinician® is technologically different from the predicate device as follows:

  • . Acceptance of surface data from the intraoral situation. This surface information is aligned to DICOM data to support the prosthetic implant planning and guided surgery protocols.
  • For partially edentulous patients, the shape of missing teeth is automatically designed
  • Creation of surgical template based on intraoral surface data
  • Export of the surgical template design to be manufactured ●
  • . Export of the treatment plan for dental restoration design in NobelDesign® (DTX Studio design)
  • Option to design surgical templates for fully guided implant insertion or pilot drill ●
  • . Volume based matching of data such as voxel base matching of (CB)CT (e.g. for postop evaluation), and surface alignment of 3D data

Discussion

As seen above, the subject and predicate devices have similar indications for use statements. Slight differences in wording allow for clarity and align with the added functionality within the subject device. These changes in the indications for use statement do not alter the intended use of the product.

8

Added software features within the subject device provide users with more flexibility and options to support the diagnostic process and treatment planning. These technological differences are addressed by the performance data identified below and do not raise different questions of safety or effectiveness.

VII. Performance Data

The following performance data were provided in support of the substantial equivalence determination.

Non-Clinical Studies

  • Software verification and validation per EN IEC 62304:2006 ●

VIII. Conclusion

Although minor differences in design and technology exist between the subject and predicate device, the testing cited above supports these differences. Therefore, it is concluded that the NobelClinician® is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices.
