Intended Use

ZENEX Implant System is indicated for use in partially or fully edentulous mandibles and maxillae, in support of single or multiple unit restorations including; cemented retained, screw retained, or overdenture restorations, and final or temporary abutment support for fixed bridgework. It is intended for delayed loading. Wide Fixture System is intended to be used in the molar region

Device Description

ZENEX Implant System is consisted with ZENEX Fixtures (ZENEX MULTI Fixture and ZENEX PLUS Fixture) and Izenimplant Abutment System. The implant fixtures come in two unique systems, the I-System and the T-System, each with their own abutment compatibilities.

  1. ZENEX Fixtures: This product is a dental implant which is put into the alveolar bone in order to support, or maintain the prosthetic tooth or denture when a patient's teeth are partially lost. To enhance the osseointegration with the alveolar bone, this titanium dental implant is treated with SLA surface. As a dental implant which is put into the alveolar bone to support the dental prostheses such as the artificial teeth which are used to rehabilitate a patient's masticatory function, it is used as a substructure which is implanted into the human body. This product is a dental implant fixture to be inserted into the bone and is intended to be used in partially or fully edentulous mandibles and maxillae, in support of single or multiple unit restorations. It is connected to the upper structure with Internal Hex fastening structure. In the surface treatment, machined surface was sanded with alumina (Al2O3) powder and acid (hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid) etching process was applied to the surface to increase the contact surface with the bone. ZENEX PLUS is a design that adds a micro-groove at the collar compared to ZENEX MULTI.

  2. Izenimplant Abutment System: Izenimplant Abutment System is compatible with the ZENEX Fixtures (ZENEX MULTI Fixture, ZENEX PLUS Fixture). Izenimplant Abutment System is intended for use with a dental implant to provide support for prosthetic restorations such as crowns, bridges, or overdentures. Separate sets of abutments are presented for compatibility with each I-System and T-System. Some subject abutments undergo Titanium Nitride (TiN) coating. Dental Abutment System is similar to other commercially available products based on the intended use, technology used, claims, material composition employed and performance characteristics.

AI/ML Overview

The provided text is a 510(k) Summary for the ZENEX Implant System, a dental implant device. It primarily focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to predicate devices through non-clinical testing and comparison of technical characteristics rather than presenting a study of its performance against specific acceptance criteria for an AI/ML-enabled device.

Therefore, the document does not contain the information requested regarding acceptance criteria and a study proving the device meets those criteria for an AI/ML-enabled device. The questions about sample sizes, data provenance, expert ground truth, adjudication methods, MRMC studies, standalone performance, and training set details are not applicable as this document describes a traditional medical device (dental implant).

The "study that proves the device meets the acceptance criteria" in this context refers to the non-clinical performance testing conducted on the dental implant system (e.g., sterilization validation, packing validation, biocompatibility, mechanical properties, surface treatment, endotoxin batch test). The acceptance criteria for these tests are typically defined by recognized standards (e.g., ISO, ASTM, FDA guidance documents) rather than specific metrics like sensitivity or specificity for an AI algorithm.

Summary of what is present:

  • Acceptance Criteria for Non-Clinical Testing: The document states that "The results of the above tests have met the criteria of the standards and demonstrated the substantial equivalence with the predicate device." This implies that the acceptance criteria are adherence to the relevant ISO, ASTM, and FDA guidance documents for each specific non-clinical test (e.g., ISO 11137 for sterilization validation, ISO 10993 for biocompatibility, ISO 14801 for fatigue testing).
  • Reported Device Performance: The document confirms that "the performance test reports are supported to the substantial equivalence of the subject device, the performance test reports are provided to demonstrate substantial equivalence of the subject devices." It lists various tests performed:
    • Sterilization Validation (Gamma and User Moist Heat)
    • Packing Validation (Shelf-life and Integrity)
    • Biocompatibility Test (ISO 10993-1, 10993-5, FDA Guidance)
    • Performance (Mechanical properties, Fatigue testing per ISO 14801)
    • Surface Treatment Test (SEM, EDS, ICP, IC analysis for SLA; thickness, abrasion, roughness for TiN coating)
    • MR Environment Condition review
    • Endotoxin Batch Test (USP, USP, ANSI/AAMI ST72)
  • No ML/AI Component: The device is a dental implant system. There is no mention of any AI or machine learning component, therefore the subsequent questions about AI/ML specific study designs are not relevant.

The requested table and other specific information related to an AI/ML device would be empty or inapplicable in this context:
