Intended Use
exoplan is a medical software, intended to support the planning of dental implants using the visualization of the implant placement within images of the patient's anatomy. The process is based on CT/CBCT data sets originating from other medical devices, and can be supported by optical scan(s) of the patient's anatomy as well as a virtual prosthetic proposal. exoplan allows the design of surgical guides to support the placement of endosseous dental implants in guided surgery. The design of surgical guides is based on 3D surface data representive situation and approved implant positions. The software exports the planning and design results as geometrical data and a digital 3D model of the surgical guide to support the manufacture of a separate physical product. exoplan does not extend or change indications of dental implants. Usage of a surgical guide designed with the software does not change the necessary due diligence required compared to conventional (non-guided) surgery. The software is intended to be used only by dental professionals with sufficient medical training in dental implantology and surgical dentistry in office environments suitable for reading diagnostic dental DICOM data sets. exoplan shall not be used for any purpose other than planning dental implant placement or design of surgical guides.
Device Description
exoplan is a standalone software application for the purpose of pre-operative implant planning and design of surgical guides to support the surgical intervention. The software application runs on "off-the-shelf" PC hardware with current Microsoft Windows operating system (7, 8.1,10, 64 Bit), off-the shell GPU card and otherwise standard peripheral components. The device allows importing 3D CT data and dental scan data (e.g. scans from teeth, dental impression, or stone models) from compatible intraoral or desktop scanners. While the planning of implant position is mainly based on the information of the CT data, the design of a surgical quide is based on the STL data of the dental scan. Both modalities are registered to a common coordinate system to ensure that the implant positions defined by a user can be used for design of a surgical guide. exoplan uses so called Implant Libraries that contain information provided by the original manufacturer of a respective physical implant, reconstruction parts on top of the implant, such as stock abutments or titanium bases. Libraries also contain drilling sleeves and tools of surgical kit items, such as drills and drill handles. The libraries are digitally signed and by that any modification of a library content or the referred library parts of files will be detected by exoplan reported to the user and documented in an Implant Planning Report or Surgical Protocol document. exoplan has no contact with the patient.
More Information

Not Found

No
The document describes standard medical imaging processing and 3D modeling for surgical planning and guide design. There is no mention of AI, ML, or related concepts in the intended use, device description, or performance studies. The accuracy metrics are based on geometric measurements and standard image processing techniques, not AI/ML model performance.

No.
This device is a software for planning dental implant placement and designing surgical guides, not a device that directly treats a medical condition or disease.

No

This device is intended for planning dental implant placement and designing surgical guides, based on CT/CBCT data. While it uses diagnostic data, its function is for planning and design, not for making a diagnosis.

Yes

The device is explicitly described as a "standalone software application" and runs on "off-the-shelf" PC hardware. It does not include any proprietary hardware components.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. This typically involves tests performed on blood, urine, tissue, or other bodily fluids.
  • exoplan's intended use is for planning dental implant placement and designing surgical guides. It uses medical imaging data (CT/CBCT and optical scans) of the patient's anatomy to visualize and plan a surgical procedure. It does not perform any tests on biological specimens.
  • The software's function is to support a surgical procedure by providing planning and design tools. It is a pre-operative tool that aids the dental professional in preparing for the surgery, not in diagnosing a condition or monitoring a patient's health through laboratory analysis.

In summary, exoplan is a medical device software used for surgical planning and guide design, which falls under a different regulatory category than In Vitro Diagnostic devices.

Device Description & Summary of Technical Characteristics

exoplan is a standalone software application for the purpose of pre-operative implant planning and design of surgical guides to support the surgical intervention.

The software application runs on "off-the-shelf" PC hardware with current Microsoft Windows operating system (7, 8.1,10, 64 Bit), off-the shell GPU card and otherwise standard peripheral components.

The device allows importing 3D CT data and dental scan data (e.g. scans from teeth, dental impression, or stone models) from compatible intraoral or desktop scanners. While the planning of implant position is mainly based on the information of the CT data, the design of a surgical quide is based on the STL data of the dental scan. Both modalities are registered to a common coordinate system to ensure that the implant positions defined by a user can be used for design of a surgical guide.

exoplan uses so called Implant Libraries that contain information provided by the original manufacturer of a respective physical implant, reconstruction parts on top of the implant, such as stock abutments or titanium bases. Libraries also contain drilling sleeves and tools of surgical kit items, such as drills and drill handles. The libraries are digitally signed and by that any modification of a library content or the referred library parts of files will be detected by exoplan reported to the user and documented in an Implant Planning Report or Surgical Protocol document.

exoplan has no contact with the patient.

Note! In the US, the physical surgical guide for endosseous dental implant placement is a medical device to be manufactured at an FDA reqistered and listed manufacturing location.

Non-clinical Testing

Software verification and validation is performed in accordance with the applicable quidance document ("Guidance for the Content of Premarket Submissions for Software Contained in Medical Devices", May 11, 2005). Prior to release of exoplan the verification and validation of the device has been completed. Each user requirement and each product requirement derived thereof has an own acceptance criteria. Detected anomalies are evaluated, resolved or where appropriate in case of a minor issue described in the release notes. The verification and validation includes the verification and where appropriate validation of the risk mitiqation measure as defined by the risk analysis. Feedback of software testers and feedback from validation is regarded in the device as appropriate.

Summary of tests and accuracy results
