Intended Use
The BTI Dental Implant System UnicCa® for oral implant surgery is to be used for the partial or total replacement of teeth in edentulate patients. Once attached to the bone, the implants act as an anchor for various fixed or removable prosthetic solutions that can be used to improve or restore a patient's mastication function. In the case of 5.5 – 6.5mm long UnicCa® implants should be used in a two-stage surgical procedure. These implants are indicated for delayed loading. These implants are indicated only for straight abutments and to support permanently fixed restorations. In the case of Tiny® 3.0 UnicCa® implants: These implants shall be used only to replace maxillary lateral incisors and mandibular lateral and central incisors. Immediate loading is recommended when there is good primary stability and an appropriate occlusal load.
Device Description
The BTI Dental Implant System UnicCa® is a self-tapping, threaded, root form dental titanium implant provided with two types of connections; external (i.e., Externa®) and internal (i.e., Interna®), in a variety of platforms and range of diameters (3.0 - 6.0 mm) and lengths (5.5 - 18.0 mm). BTI Dental Implant System UnicCa® features an implant surface treatment that improves the hydrophilicity of the implant. The purpose of this 510(k) is to allow B.T.I. to expand the product offering for the Wide and Universal Plus 5.5 mm and 6.0 mm diameter Interna® implants to extend implant length up to 15 mm.
More Information

No
The 510(k) summary describes a physical dental implant system and its intended use, device description, and performance studies (biocompatibility, bench testing, sterilization, human factors). There is no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or any software-based functionality that would suggest the use of these technologies. The focus is on the material properties, design, and surgical application of the implant.

Yes
Explanation: The device is a dental implant system used for the partial or total replacement of teeth in edentulous patients, which directly addresses a medical condition to restore mastication function, thereby classifying it as a therapeutic device.

No

Explanation: The device is a dental implant system used for the partial or total replacement of teeth. Its function is to act as an anchor for prosthetic solutions, not to diagnose a condition or disease.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "self-tapping, threaded, root form dental titanium implant," which is a physical hardware device.

No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states the device is for "oral implant surgery" to replace teeth and act as an anchor for prosthetics. This is a surgical procedure performed directly on the patient's body.
  • Device Description: The device is described as a "self-tapping, threaded, root form dental titanium implant." This is a physical implant designed to be surgically placed.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: An IVD device is used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. This device does not interact with or analyze such specimens.
  • Performance Studies: The performance studies listed are related to the physical properties of the implant (biocompatibility, fatigue, corrosion, sterilization, packaging) and its handling in a surgical setting. They do not involve the analysis of biological samples.

Therefore, based on the provided information, the BTI Dental Implant System UnicCa® is a surgical implant device, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

Biocompatibility Testing
Biocompatibility was established within BTI Dental Implant System UnicCa® 510(k) K151391 in conformance with ISO 10993-1:2009. Sample preparation for testing was made based on ISO 10993-12:2012. As there have been no changes in the materials of manufacture compared with the predicate system, biocompatibility testing included within K151391 is directly applicable to the modified device subject of this submission.
Tests performed:

  • Cytotoxicity Test (ISO 10993-5:2009)
  • Delayed Hypersensitivity (ISO 10993-10:2010)
  • Intracutaneous Reactivity (ISO 10993-10:2010)
  • Acute Systemic Toxicity (ISO 10993-11:2006)
  • Container Cytotoxicity Test (ISO 10993-5:2009)
  • Wetting Solution - Establishment of allowable limits for leachable substances (ISO 10993-17:2002)

Bench Testing
Bench testing was presented within previous BTI Dental Implant System UnicCa® 510(k) K151391, to demonstrate that the devices met the required specifications for complete design verification tests, which included: Fatigue Testing based on EN ISO 14801:2008 (Dentistry. Implants. Dynamic fatigue test for endosseous dental implants; ISO 14801:2007), Corrosion Testing, Surface Hydrophilicity TOF SIMS Analysis, Packaging / Shelf-life Validation and Sterilization Evaluations.
Based on risk analysis activities, previous testing performed encompasses the size range extension proposed for the Interna® implant as described within this current submission and therefore no additional bench testing has been performed.
Shelf life and package integrity to provide for an expiry of 5 years was validated previously within BTI Dental Implant System UnicCa® 510(k) K151391. This test was not repeated since all aspects of packaging and sterile barrier materials, process and process parameters are identical for all implants within the BTI Dental Implant System UnicCa® product family.
Sterilization validation successfully concluded that the gamma irradiation process, when performed per associated process specifications, can reliably sterilize the subject device to a SAL of 10-6. Product integrity and characteristics are not affected by sterilization process, supporting the finding of substantial equivalence with predicate device. All aspects of the Gamma sterilization validation process and test remained unchanged as cleared under K151391.
Furthermore, the Limulus Amebocyte Lysate (LAL) bacterial endotoxin tests performed as per ANSI ST72, USP and USP on the subject device yielded a EU/Device value that was less than the established acceptance criteria of 20 EU/Device for medical devices not intended to contact cerebrospinal fluid.

Human Factors Study
A Human Factors study was performed to assess handling of the proposed a single-barrier packaging and users' ability to maintain sterility of the implant in aseptic field. The study concluded that the tested packaging is adequate for use in dental setting.

| | | 6.0 | 7.5 / 8.5 / 10 / 11.5 / 13 |
| | Universal Plus | 5.5 | 7.5 / 8.5 / 10 / 11.5 / 13 |

The modifications described herein do not alter the overall design of the BTI Dental Implant System UnicCa® or product intended use, nor do the changes alter the fundamental scientific technology. In addition, the material used, the energy type, environmental specifications, performance specifications, ergonomics of the patient-user interface, packaging and expiration dating, manufacturing and sterilization remains unchanged from the predicate device.

V. INDICATIONS FOR USE

The BTI Dental Implant System UnicCa® for oral implant surgery is to be used for the partial or total replacement of teeth in edentulate patients. Once attached to the bone, the implants act as an anchor for various fixed or removable prosthetic solutions that can be used to improve or restore a patient's mastication function.

In the case of 5.5 – 6.5mm long UnicCa® implants should be used in a two-stage surgical procedure. These implants are indicated for delayed loading. These implants are indicated only for straight abutments and to support permanently fixed restorations.

5

In the case of Tiny® 3.0 UnicCa® implants: These implants shall be used only to replace maxillary lateral incisors and mandibular lateral and central incisors. Immediate loading is recommended when there is good primary stability and an appropriate occlusal load.

VI. TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS AND SUBSTANTIAL EQUIVALENCE

The modified UnicCa® Interna® BTI Dental Implant Systems, have the following similarities to those which previously received 510(k) concurrence via K151391:

  • . have the same indication for use,
  • use the same operating principle, ●
  • incorporate the same basic implant design, ●
  • incorporate the same materials, ●
  • have the same surface treatment, ●
  • have the same shelf life, and ●
  • are packaged and sterilized using the same materials and processes. ●

The only modification consists of a dimensional change in the Interna® connection implants. Under the same basic implant design, the diameter is increased over lengths already cleared by K151391. Table 5-2 represents diameters and lengths of the Interna® connection cleared within K151391 and the dental implants subject of this current Traditional 510(k) submission. Even if considered as a dimensional change, the additional size offerings described herein are within the range previously cleared for the BTI Dental Implant System UnicCa® (K151391). Therefore, it might be considered as a range extension of the already cleared BTI Dental Implant System UnicCa®(K151391).

In the case of Tiny® 3.0 UnicCa®
implants: These implants shall be used
only to replace maxillary lateral
incisors and mandibular lateral and
central incisors. Immediate loading is
recommended when there is good
primary stability and an appropriate
occlusal load. | NobelActive® implants are endosseous
implants intended to be surgically
placed in the upper or lower jaw bone
for anchoring or supporting tooth
replacements to restore patient esthetics
and chewing function. NobelActive®
implants are indicated for single or
multiple unit restorations in splinted or
non-splinted applications. This can be
achieved by a 2-stage or 1-stage
surgical technique in combination with
immediate, early or delayed loading
protocols, recognizing sufficient
primary stability and appropriate
occlusal loading for the selected
technique. NobelActive® 3.0 implants
are intended to replace a lateral incisor
in the maxilla and/or a central or lateral
incisor in the mandible. NobelActive®
3.0 implants are indicated for single
unit restorations only. | BIOMET 3i Dental Implants are
intended for surgical placement in
either jaw and used for anchoring or
supporting single- and multiple-unit
prostheses. BIOMET 3i Dental
Implants can be immediately loaded
when primary stability and proper
occlusion have been established. | |

VII. PERFORMANCE DATA

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

Biocompatibility Testing

Biocompatibility was established within BTI Dental Implant System UnicCa® 510(k) K151391. in conformance with ISO 10993-1:2009 Biological evaluation of medical devices - Part 1: Evaluation and testing within a risk management process were performed. Sample preparation for testing was made based on ISO 10993-12:2012. As there have been no changes in the materials of manufacture compared with the predicate system, biocompatibility testing included within K151391 is directly applicable to the modified device subject of this submission.

Bench Testing

Bench testing was presented within previous BTI Dental Implant System UnicCa® 510(k) K151391, to demonstrate that the devices met the required specifications for complete design verification tests, which included: Fatigue Testing based on EN ISO 14801:2008 (Dentistry. Implants. Dynamic fatigue test for endosseous dental implants; ISO 14801:2007), Corrosion Testing, Surface Hydrophilicity TOF SIMS Analysis, Packaging / Shelf-life Validation and Sterilization Evaluations. Based on risk analysis activities, previous testing performed encompasses the size range extension proposed for the Interna® implant as described within this current submission and therefore no additional bench testing has been performed.

Shelf life and package integrity to provide for an expiry of 5 years was validated previously within BTI Dental Implant System UnicCa® 510(k) K151391. This test was not repeated since all aspects of packaging and sterile barrier materials, process and process parameters are identical for all implants within the BTI Dental Implant System UnicCa® product family.

Sterilization validation successfully concluded that the gamma irradiation process, when performed per associated process specifications, can reliably sterilize the subject device to a SAL of 10-6. Product integrity and characteristics are not affected by sterilization process, supporting the finding of substantial equivalence with predicate device. All aspects of the Gamma sterilization validation process and test remained unchanged as cleared under K151391.

Furthermore, the Limulus Amebocyte Lysate (LAL) bacterial endotoxin tests performed as per ANSI ST72, USP and USP on the subject device yielded a EU/Device value that was less than the established acceptance criteria of 20 EU/Device for medical devices not intended to contact cerebrospinal fluid.

Human Factors Study

A Human Factors study was performed to assess handling of the proposed a single-barrier packaging and users' ability to maintain sterility of the implant in aseptic field. The study concluded that the tested packaging is adequate for use in dental setting.

VII. CONCLUSIONS

The comparison of similarities and differences between the modified device and the respective predicate devices demonstrate that the proposed and predicate devices are substantially equivalent.
