Device Description

The MOR 3.0mm Implant System consists of 3.0mm endosseous dental implants. The MOR 3.0mm implant is a one-piece endosseous dental implant, manufactured of Titanium 6AL-4V ELI. The portion of the implant that is submerged in the bone is a treated roughened surface (blasted and etched) to facilitate osseointegration. The MOR 3.0mm implant is similar in design to the MOR 2.4mm implant previously cleared by FDA. The implant lengths are10mm, 13mm, 15mm, and 18mm. The implant has two prosthetic head design options - 0-ball identical to Sterngold MOR 2.4mm Implant (K153173), and a Tapered Abutment similar to the IMTEC MDI MII One Piece Implant 2.9mm (K081653). This implant has the same design threads as the MOR 2.4mm Implant. The MOR Implants will be provided "Sterile" using Gamma sterilization.

The PUR 3.2mm Implant System consists of 3.2mm threaded endosseous dental implants, as well as prosthetic components. The prosthetic components include a Straight Narrow Platform Slim Abutment with a 1.5mm and 3.0mm cuffs and a 0.050' Hex Prosthetic Screw. The purpose of the Slim Abutments is to provide surgical and prosthetic options for smaller spaces. They attach directly to the implant with the aid of the prosthetic screw and provide the transitional link between the head of the implant and the restorative components. These abutments are straight and not intended for angulation. The PUR Straight Slim Abutments are similar to FDA cleared PUR Straight Abutments Narrow and Regular Platforms 1.5mm and 3.0mm cuffs (K151928). The difference is the body of the proposed Straight Narrow Platform Slim Abutment is more tapered. The abutments and prosthetic screw are made of Titanium 6AL-4V ELI. The ancillary component is a 3.2mm cover screw, which is flush with the top surface of the implant to prevent tissue and bone from growing inside the implant. It is screwed onto the immediately after implant placement. It is made of Titanium 6AL-4V ELI. The PUR 3.2mm implant is an endosseous dental implant made of Titanium 6AL-4V ELI with a treated roughened surface (blasted and etched). The implant body is tapered with double-lead threads and10 start micro threads at the collar. The implant lengths are 8mm, 10mm, 12mm and 14 mm. This implant The PUR 3.2mm implant features the same prosthetic platform as the 3.5mm and 4.3mm implants already cleared by FDA (K151928). The purpose of the 3.2mm PUR implant is to provide surgical and prosthetic options for smaller spaces. The PUR 3.2mm Implants will be provided "Sterile" using Gamma sterilization.

7.0 Summary of Non-Clinical Performance Testing

Non-clinical test data was used to support substantial equivalency.

Performance testing of the MOR 3.0mm, and PUR 3.2mm Implant Systems, MOR 2.1x18mm and MOR 2.4x18mm was implemented the FDA guidance Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Rootform Endosseous Dental Implants and Endosseous Dental Abutments.

7.1 Biocompatibility

A risk assessment was performed to identify biological hazards and evaluate estimated risks of known hazards. The evaluation of the biological safety of the proposed devices and their materials consisted of intended use, device characteristics, biological hazard identification, and exposure assessment. A biological evaluation was then performed in accordance with EN ISO 10993-1. The final device was considered during evaluation as well as materials, processes, physical characteristics and properties of finished device, intended use, contact type and duration.

The subject device was compared to the new device and the old submission biocompatibility was sufficient to support SE. There were no changes to material composition or manufacturing process.

7.2 Surface Treatment Analysis

MOR 3.0mm, and PUR 3.2mm Implant Systems, MOR 2.1x18mm and MOR 2.4x18mm are blasted with white aluminum oxide particles followed by acid etching. SEM and EDS analysis was performed on the blasted implant surface of a final device.

SEM photographs and surface analysis confirm that residue and contaminants from the blasting material were not present or detectable in any form and implant surface was homogeneous.

7.3 Sterilization and Shelf-Life Validation

MOR 3.0mm, and PUR 3.2mm Implant Systems, MOR 2.1x18mm and MOR 2.4x18mm are provided sterile and are sterilized using Cobalt 60 gamma radiation VD max25 method that has been validated to ensure a SAL of 10° per BS EN ISO 11137-1: 2015 and BS EN ISO 11137-2: 2015. The Abutments, temporary Cap, prosthetic screw and drills are provided non-sterile and sterilized prior to use by the end user using moist heat sterilization. Validation was conducted according to ANSI/AAMI/ISO 17665-1: 2006 and 17665-2: 2009. The overkill method was used to develop a cycle (time and temperature) that would provide a Sterility Assurance Level (SAL) of 10°. The devices were tested to a SAL of at least106 using the biological indicator overkill method.

The MOR 3.0mm, and PUR 3.2mm Implant Systems, MOR 2.1x18mm and MOR 2.4x18mm are Jabeled sterile with a 5-year shelf life supported by validation performed on Sterngold's own devices. Validation testing using the Accelerated Aging method was conducted and results indicated a successful sterility; dye, burst and aerosol challenge tests showed that the packaging is able to maintain a sterile barrier for up to five (5) years. Shelf life validation was performed according to AAMI/ ANSI /ISO 11607-1: 2006/(R) 2010.

LAL testing was conducted as per the FDA Guidance "Submission and Review of Sterility Information in Premarket Notification (510(k)) Submissions for Devices Labeled as Sterile".

{9}------------------------------------------------

7.4 Torque Testing

Testing consisted of a torque test, which simulates the intended use of the proposed devices. Each implant size was tested to determine how they would perform being inserted in different density test blocks by measuring their final insertion torque values. Very dense urethane foam blocks were used to place the implants in so as to attain high torque values to test for breakage.

All implants were placed without any breakage. The testing goal was to greatly exceed the torque that would be encountered clinically. It was observed that even at 60Ncm, the proposed implants performed successfully with no evidence of breakage. Torque testing and implant to abutment compatibility demonstrated conformance to design input and indications for use.

8.0 Conclusion:

The proposed devices have the same technological characteristics, performance specifications and intended use as of its predicates. Performance testing data and intended use supports a determination of substantial equivalence of the proposed devices to the predicate and the reference devices.
