More Information

No
The summary describes a system of dental implant abutments and their manufacturing process using CAD/CAM technology. There is no mention of AI or ML being used in the design, manufacturing, or function of the device. The "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML" field is explicitly marked as "Not Found".

No.
The device specifically states it provides support for prosthetic restorations and is not intended to treat or cure a disease or condition.

No

The device description indicates that Sherlock abutments are dental implant components designed to support prosthetic restorations. Their function is structural and restorative, not diagnostic.

No

The device description explicitly states that the Sherlock abutments are premanufactured from Ti-6Al-4V ELI (Grade 23) titanium and are available as physical components (customizable titanium blank abutment and multi-unit abutment). While CAD/CAM technology is mentioned for customization, the core device is a physical implant abutment.

Based on the provided text, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • 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.
  • Device Description: The description clearly states that the Sherlock abutments are dental implant abutments intended to be used in conjunction with dental implants to support prosthetic restorations in the mouth.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is to provide support for dental prosthetics, which is a mechanical function within the body, not a diagnostic test performed on a sample outside the body.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The text does not mention any analysis of biological samples, detection of biomarkers, or diagnostic purposes.

Therefore, the Sherlock abutments are a medical device, but not an in vitro diagnostic device.

The Subject and Predicate devices include Ti-Blank Abutments which can be customized by CAD/CAM technology. The Subject, Predicate and Reference devices all offer Straight or Angled Multi-Unit abutments. Customized Ti-Blank abutments, Multi-Unit abutments and "stock" or fixed angle abutments are all intended to provide support for the prosthetic devices.

Slight differences in available multi-unit abutment angles, maximum gingival height design parameters and platform diameters for the Subject, Predicate and Reference devices do not change the intended use of the devices to provide support for single and multi-unit prostheses. Offering fewer restorative platform diameters than the Predicate device does not change the intended use of the devices to provide support for single and multi-unit prostheses.

Overall, there may be slight differences in wording of Indications for Use or Mode of Operation statements, but the Subject. Predicate and Reference devices share a common intended use to provide support for prosthetic devices.

Overall, there may be slight differences between the Subject, Predicate and Reference devices in device design parameters, such as restorative implant system, platform diameters, abutment configurations, abutment correction angles, wall thicknesses, gingival heights, etc... Those differences don't change the intended use to provide support for prosthetic devices. Any differences in parameters, have been validated through performance testing and support a finding of Substantial Equivalence.

Overall, the Technological Characteristics of the Subject device are substantially equivalent to that of the Predicate and Reference devices.

NON-CLINICAL PERFORMANCE DATA

Non-clinical performance data submitted to demonstrate substantial equivalence included: sterilization validation according to ISO 17665-1 and ISO 14937; biocompatibility according to ISO 10993-5 and ANSI/AAMI ST72; reverse engineering of the OEM implant abutments and OEM implant abutment screws to confirm compatibility; and fatigue testing according to ISO 14801. No clinical data is included in this submission.

CONCLUSION

Slight variations in the wording of the Indications for the Subject and Predicate devices do not change the intended use of the devices to provide support for single or multi-unit prosthetic restorations.

Slight differences in the Technological Characteristics of the Subject and Predicate devices do not change the intended use of the devices to provide support for single or multi-unit prosthetic restorations. Differences in Subject device abutment design parameters were validated with respect to intended use through Performance testing, supporting a finding of substantial equivalence.

Overall, the Sherlock Subject device is substantially equivalent to the Predicate device.
