It is used in fixed hybrid restorations that can be attached with a snap-in system. The High Retention Attachment System is compatible with the following implants: (list of compatible implants and diameters provided in the document).
The High Retention Attachment System is a system that provides rigid connection of fixed, partial, and full arch restorations (fixed/detachable hybrid dentures) to endosseous dental implants. It consists of abutments, attachment housings, inserts and seating and removal tools. The abutments are provided in various cuff heights with the implant and abutment connection specific to the Zest Anchors, LLC or OEM implant. The subject device abutments are made of titanium alloy conforming to ASTM F136 Standard Specification for Wrought Titanium-6Aluminum-4Vanadium ELI (Extra Low Interstitial) Alloy for Surgical Implant Applications (UNS R56401) and are TiN (titanium nitride) coated. The High Retention Attachment System is as provided with an abutment (LOCATOR Attachment) and the surgical instrumentation necessary to place the implant. The High Retention Attachment System is designed to accommodate a path of insertion diverqence of up to 20° per implant and no more than 40° of divergence between implants.
This document describes a 510(k) premarket notification for a dental device, the "High Retention Attachment System." It does not contain information about an AI/ML-driven medical device, hence no study details are provided to address the acceptance criteria for such a device. The content is primarily focused on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device through material, design, and intended use comparisons, rather than performance testing against specific acceptance criteria for an AI algorithm.
Therefore, I cannot provide the requested information from the provided text as it does not pertain to the performance and validation of an AI/ML medical device.

Summary of Non-Clinical Performance Testing vii.
No new testing was performed as a part of this submission for the determination of substantial equivalence.
Fatigue testing, sterilization, and biocompatibility testing are all leveraged from previous submissions
{9}------------------------------------------------
Image /page/9/Picture/0 description: The image shows the logo for Zest Dental Solutions. The logo features the letters "ZD" in a bold, blue font on the left side. To the right of the letters, the words "ZEST DENTAL" are written in a similar bold, blue font. Below "ZEST DENTAL", the word "SOLUTIONS" is written in a lighter blue color.
MR safety for the subject device system was based on the "worst-case" of the entire system including all variations (all compatible implant bodies, dental abutments, and fixation screws) and material composition. The "worst-case" assessment includes an evaluation of the High Retention Attachment System devices in the MRI environment using scientific rationale and published literature (i.e., Woods, Terry O., Jana G. Delfino, and Sunder Rajan. "Assessment of Magnetically Induced Displacement Force and Torque on Metal Alloys Used in Medical Devices." Journal of Testing and Evaluation 49.2 (2019): 783-795).
In addition, the "worst-case" MR Safety rationale addressed parameters per the FDA guidance, "Testing and Labeling Medical Devices for Safety in the Magnetic Resonance (MR) Environment," including magnetically induced displacement force and torque.
viii. Substantial Equivalence
The risk management activities and results of the other activities described above provide reasonable assurance that the subject devices have demonstrated substantial equivalence to the predicate devices in the that they utilize the same materials and fundamental designs and also have the same intended use and principles of operation.
