Intended Use
Cortex Dental Implant System is intended for immediate loading when good primary stability is achieved and with appropriate occlusal loading for use in surgical (single-stage or two-stage procedures) and restorative applications for placement in the bone of the upper or lower jaw to provide support for prosthetic device such as artificial teeth and to restore the patient's chewing function. The System is intended to be used in either single tooth or multiple teeth applications.

The provided text describes a dental implant system and its intended use, with no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or any related concepts.

No
Explanation: A therapeutic device is used to treat or cure a disease or medical condition. This device is an implant system used to provide support for prosthetic devices (artificial teeth) and restore chewing function, which is a restorative rather than purely therapeutic function.

No
Explanation: The Intended Use describes the Cortex Dental Implant System as a device for supporting prosthetic devices like artificial teeth and restoring chewing function, which is a therapeutic and restorative purpose, not a diagnostic one.

No

The device description is not found, but the intended use clearly describes a "Cortex Dental Implant System" which is a physical implant and associated components, not software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes a device implanted into the bone of the jaw to support prosthetic teeth and restore chewing function. This is a surgical and restorative application, not a diagnostic test performed on samples taken from the body.
  • Device Description: While the description is "Not Found," the intended use is the primary indicator of whether a device is an IVD.
  • Other Sections: The absence of information about image processing, AI/ML, input imaging modality, training/test sets, performance studies, and key metrics further supports that this is not a diagnostic device. These sections are typically relevant for devices that analyze data or samples to provide diagnostic information.

In summary, the Cortex Dental Implant System is a medical device used for surgical and restorative purposes, not for performing in vitro diagnostic tests.

§ 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.

Dear Raymond Kelly:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food. Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
