The summary describes a dental abutment and the materials used for the prosthetic restoration. There is no mention of AI or ML in the intended use, device description, or performance studies. The software validation mentioned is for general software principles, not specifically for AI/ML.
No
The device is described as a titanium base placed onto dental implants to provide support for customized prosthetic restorations, indicating it serves a mechanical and structural purpose rather than directly treating a disease or condition.
No
This device is described as a titanium base placed onto dental implants to provide support for customized prosthetic restorations, making it a component of a dental prosthesis, not a diagnostic tool.
No
The device description clearly states it is a physical abutment (titanium base) and a coping/crown made of glass ceramic, which are hardware components. While software is mentioned for design and validation, the device itself is not solely software.
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 a dental abutment placed onto dental implants to support prosthetic restorations. This is a mechanical device used within the body, not a device used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or compatibility testing.
- Device Description: The description reinforces that it's a physical component (titanium base) used in dental prosthetics.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples, detecting analytes, or providing diagnostic information. The performance studies focus on mechanical properties, sterilization, and biocompatibility, which are typical for implantable or surgically placed devices, not IVDs.
Therefore, the Straumann® Variobase® Abutment is a dental prosthetic component, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use
The Straumann® Variobase® Abutment is a titanium base placed onto Straumann dental implants to provide support for customized prosthetic restorations. Straumann® Variobase® Abutments are indicated for screwretained single tooth or cement-retained single tooth and bridge restorations. All digitally designed copings and/or crowns for use with the Straumann® Variobase® Abutment system are intended to be sent to Straumann for manufacture at a validated milling center.

Device Description
The purpose of the subject submission is to add the previously cleared Straumann n!ce glass ceramic material (K160262) as a cleared material suitable for fabrication of the coping or crown that, when bonded to the previously cleared Variobase abutment base (K142890), forms a finished dental prosthesis.
The Straumann Variobase Abutments are pre-manufactured (stock) abutments, sometimes referred to as "Ti-bases". Straumann Variobase Abutments are available to fit Straumann dental implant platforms NNC (Narrow Neck CrossFit®), RN (Regular Neck), WN (Wide Neck), NC (Narrow CrossFit), and RC (Regular CrossFit). A dental laboratory technician would design the corresponding coping and/or crown (the second component of the Variobase two-piece abutment) and/or prosthetic restoration in the dental laboratory via their preferred workflow. The coping and/or crown would be manufactured via traditional laboratory methods for pressing or casting, or via validated Straumann milling.

Dear Jennifer Jackson:
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.

ISO 10993-5 and an inorganic extractables/leachables study
per ISO 10993-18. Software validation per FDA guidance document: General
Principles of Software Validation; Final Guidance for
Industry and FDA Staff, issued on: January 11, 2002 and per
IEC 62304. No animal or human clinical studies were conducted. |
| Conclusions: | Based upon our assessment of the design and applicable
