Intended Use
The Proximerge™ 2 Dental Implant System is designed for use in edentulous sites in the mandible or maxilla as a single tooth replacement. These implants are indicated for delayed loading.
Device Description
The Proximerge 2TM Dental Implant System is an integrated system of endosseous dental implants with corresponding abutments, temporary abutments, and closure screws. The implants are designed with elongation in the mesial-distal dimension. The implants have a 7mm length and a mesial-distal elongated footprint in 4.5x6.3mm, 4.5x7.6mm, 4.5x9.1mm, and 4.5x10.5mm options and are press-fit into the bone. The abutments have a 0° angulation, have post and gingival heights of 4.5mm and 2.4mm respectively for each implant size, and have a tapered implant-abutment interface . Temporary tissue former abutments (also called healing abutments) and healing caps are offered to protect the implant until the abutment is attached; the tissue formers and healing caps have the same angulation and implant-abutment interface as the permanent abutments. An M1.8 capture screw attaches the abutment, the tissue forming abutment, or the healing cap to the implant. All components in the Proximerge™ 2 Dental Implant System are manufactured from Ti-6A1-4V ELI per ASTM F136.
More Information

No
The device description and performance studies focus on the mechanical and material properties of the dental implant system, with no mention of AI or ML.

No.
A therapeutic device is one that treats or heals a disease or condition. This device is a dental implant system used for tooth replacement in edentulous sites, which is a restorative rather than therapeutic function.

No

The device description indicates that the Proximerge™ 2 Dental Implant System is an integrated system of endosseous dental implants, abutments, temporary abutments, and closure screws. These components are used for single tooth replacement and are "press-fit into the bone." This describes a therapeutic or reconstructive device, not a diagnostic one that identifies or characterizes a disease or condition. The performance studies also focus on mechanical and biological safety testing, not diagnostic accuracy.

No

The device description explicitly details physical components made of Ti-6A1-4V ELI, such as implants, abutments, and screws, indicating it is a hardware device, not software-only.

Based on the provided information, the Proximerge™ 2 Dental Implant System is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) device.

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 for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Proximerge™ 2 Function: The description clearly states that the Proximerge™ 2 Dental Implant System is an integrated system of dental implants and related components designed for surgical implantation into the jawbone to replace missing teeth.
  • Lack of Specimen Analysis: There is no mention of the device being used to analyze any biological specimens. Its function is purely mechanical and structural within the body.

Therefore, the Proximerge™ 2 Dental Implant System falls under the category of a medical device used for surgical implantation, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

| Indications for Use: | The Proximerge™ 2 Dental
Implant System is designed for
use in edentulous sites in the
mandible or maxilla as a single
tooth replacement. These
implants are indicated for
delayed loading. | The Bicon implant is designed for
use in edentulous sites in the
mandible or maxilla for support of
a complete denture prosthesis, a
final or intermediate abutment for
fixed bridgework or for partial
dentures, or as a single tooth
replacement. | The 6.0 x 8.0mm implant is
designed for use in edentulous
sites in the mandible or maxilla
for support of a complete
denture prosthesis, a terminal or
intermediate abutment for fixed
bridgework, partial dentures, or
a single tooth replacement. | Straumann® Dental implants are
indicated for oral endosteal
implantation in the upper and lower
jaw arches and for the functional and
aesthetic oral rehabilitation of
edentulous and partially dentate
patients. Straumann® Dental implants
are also indicated for immediate or
early implantation following extraction
or loss of natural teeth. Implants can be
placed with immediate function on
single-tooth and/or multiple-tooth
applications when good primary
stability is achieved and with
appropriate occlusal loading to restore
chewing function. The prosthetic
restorations used are single crowns,
bridges and partial or full dentures,
which are connected to the implants
through the corresponding components
(abutments). | The XL Dental Implant System is
intended for implantation in the
maxillary or mandibular
molar region where bone exists and
the surgeon has determined that the
placement of a narrower diameter
implant would increase the
probability of failure due to poor
primary stability, or increased
surgical procedures leading to
complications. This XL implant
system provides support for fixed or
removable dental prostheses in a
single tooth, partially edentulous
prostheses or full arch prostheses. It
further adds the option for
immediate loading on single and
splinted multiple unit restorations
when good primary stability is
achieved and with appropriate
occlusal loading, to restore chewing
function. | Subject indications are similar to the
indications of K092035 and K972417.
The predicate and reference devices
are for delayed loading as well but did
not specify so in their indications for
use statement. The predicate and
reference devices offer additional
applications such as support for
denture and bridgework prostheses that
the subject does not seek to indicate.
The subject indications are similar to
those of K171784 and K201334 but
those reference devices are intended
for both immediate and delayed
loading and include additional
indications not covered by subject. |
| Product Code: | DZE, NHA | DZE | DZE | DZE | DZE, NHA | Same. The predicate and all reference
devices include abutments but some
were cleared with only the DZE
product code without the abutment
product code NHA. |
| Purpose for being referenced: | | This device was made the primary
predicate because of its
technology for which the subject
is similar in indications, material,
press-fit implantation style, some
sizes, surface treatment, and
abutments. | This device is included as a
reference device to show that
subject bone contact surface area
is larger than that of a cleared
predicate. | This predicate was included for a
comparison of the subject's
mechanical performance to that of a
cleared predicate and for additional
abutment size comparisons. | This predicate has been included so
that the envelope of subject implant
footprints is not outside the range of
cleared and for additional abutment
size comparisons. | |

shape while the predicate implants
have round shapes. This difference
does not affect the substantial
equivalence of the subject device
because sufficient residual bone is
present on all side of the implant.
The subject implant footprint cross-
sectional area envelope falls within the
envelope of predicate footprint areas.
The subject ranges from 24.0mm2 to
