Intended Use
NobelParallel™ Conical Connection implants are endosseous implants intended to be surgically placed in the upper or lower jaw bone for anchoring or supporting replacements to restore patient esthetics and chewing function. NobelParallel™ Conical Connection implants are indicated for single or multiple restorations in splinted applications. This can be achieved by a 2-stage or 1-stage surgical techniques in combination with immediate, early or delayed loading protocols, recognizing sufficient primary stability and appropriate occlusal loading for the selected technique. Implants with <7mm length are for delayed loading only when appropriate stability has been achieved.
Device Description
NobelParallel™ Conical Connection (herein referred to as NobelParallel™ CC) implants are threaded, root-form, endosseous implants intended to be surgically placed in the upper or lower jaw bone for anchoring or supporting tooth replacements to restore a patient's chewing function. The sterile, single-use only implants, made of commercially pure titanium (ASTM F67-13), range in length from 6.5 – 17.5 mm (physical implant length) and are provided in four (4) diameters (Ø 3.75 mm, 4.3 mm, 5.0 mm, and 5.5 mm). The implants feature a conical connection which is compatible with Nobel Biocare's narrow platform (NP), regular platform (RP), and wide platform (WP) abutments. The conical connections are color coded to identify the compatible abutment platform(s). Each implant is individually packaged and provided with its corresponding titanium alloy cover screw (Ti-6Al-4V, per ASTM F136-13 and ISO 5832-3).
More Information

No
The summary describes a physical dental implant and its associated components, with no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate the use of AI/ML.

No.
The device is an endosseous implant intended to restore patient esthetics and chewing function by anchoring or supporting tooth replacements, which pertains to structural restoration rather than treating or curing a disease or medical condition.

No

This device is an implantable medical device (dental implant) used to restore chewing function and esthetics, not to diagnose a condition.

No

The device description clearly states it is a physical implant made of commercially pure titanium, ranging in length and diameter, and includes a cover screw. This is a hardware device, 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 states that the NobelParallel™ Conical Connection implants are "endosseous implants intended to be surgically placed in the upper or lower jaw bone for anchoring or supporting replacements to restore patient esthetics and chewing function." This describes a surgical implant used in vivo (within the body) for structural support and functional restoration.
  • IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections. They are used outside the body.
  • Device Description: The device description details a physical implant made of titanium, designed for surgical placement in bone. This aligns with an in vivo medical device, not an in vitro diagnostic test.

The information provided consistently describes a surgical implant, not a diagnostic test performed on samples outside the body.

Implants with

§ 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 Charlemagne Chua:

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. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database located at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. 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.
