Intended Use
Temporary anchorage screws are intended to provide a fixed anchorage point for attachment of orthodontic appliances to facilitate the orthodontic movement of the teeth. It is used temporarily and is removed after orthodontic treatment has been completed.
Device Description
The OBS/Biokey Anchorage Screw, consisting of stainless steel (SUS-316LVM) and titanium alloy (Ti-6Al-4V ELI), is a self-tapping screw with various sizes for applications in the orthodontic field. It is intended to serve as a fixed anchorage point for the attachment of orthodontic and pre-prosthetic appliances, in order to facilitate the orthodontic movement of teeth. The OBS/Biokey Anchorage Screw and associated accessories are supplied non-sterile and should be sterilized before use. The devices are used temporarily with the intention to be removed after orthodontic treatment. The average temporary implantation period for the anchorage screw is six months. Screws are intended for single-use only. The purpose of this submission is to implement six additional specification models: BM, AT, AY, CH, FH, and HH. The BD model was previously cleared under K152297. The intended use, materials, manufacturing process, and sterilization method of the OBS/Biokey Anchorage Screw for BD, BM, AT, AY,CH, FH, and HH are the same.

More Information

No
The 510(k) summary describes a physical medical device (temporary anchorage screws) and its specifications. There is no mention of software, algorithms, or any technology related to AI or ML. The performance studies focus on biocompatibility, sterilization, and mechanical properties.

Yes
The device is intended to facilitate the orthodontic movement of teeth, which is a therapeutic purpose.

No

Explanation: The device, OBS/Biokey Anchorage Screw, is described as providing a fixed anchorage point for orthodontic appliances to facilitate tooth movement. Its function is to assist in treatment, not to diagnose a condition.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a physical screw made of stainless steel and titanium alloy, intended for temporary implantation. It also mentions associated accessories and sterilization, all indicative of a hardware device.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information about a person's health. This testing is done outside of the body.
  • Device Description: The description clearly states that the OBS/Biokey Anchorage Screw is a physical screw made of stainless steel and titanium alloy. It is implanted into the body (specifically, the jawbone) to provide an anchorage point for orthodontic appliances.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is to facilitate the mechanical movement of teeth by providing a fixed point for orthodontic forces. This is a physical intervention, not a diagnostic test performed on a specimen.

The device is a medical device used for treatment, not a diagnostic device used for testing specimens.

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

The results of this testing indicate that the OBS/Biokey Anchorage Screw met acceptance criteria and is substantially equivalent to the predicate device.

8. Conclusions

In comparison to the legally marketed device, the OBS/Biokey Anchorage Screw has the same intended use, materials, manufacturing process, and sterilization method. The differences between the subject device and the predicate device are the type and dimensions (diameter and length).

However, testing data such as mechanical performance testing provided in the submission show that these differences do not raise issues in performance. Based on the information provided in this premarket notification, BOMEI concludes that the OBS/Biokey Anchorage Screw is substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
