While it mentions software for design (3Shape Abutment Designer), there is no indication or mention of AI or ML being used in the design, manufacturing, or function of the device itself or the associated software. The software validation focuses on design limitations, not AI/ML capabilities.

Yes
The device, a dental implant system, is intended to provide a means for prosthetic attachment of crowns, bridges, or overdentures, and to restore chewing function. These actions are aimed at treating a medical condition (edentulism) and improving a body function, which falls under the definition of a therapeutic device.

No

Explanation: The device, the Provata Implant System, is intended for surgical placement and prosthetic attachment, functioning as an implant and related components. Its purpose is to provide support for crowns, bridges, or overdentures to restore chewing function, not to diagnose medical conditions or diseases.

No

The device description clearly details physical components such as dental implants, abutments, screws, and healing abutments made from materials like titanium and PEEK. While software is mentioned for designing some components (3Shape Abutment Designer Software), the core device is hardware.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes a device for surgical placement in the jaw to support dental prosthetics (crowns, bridges, overdentures). This is a surgical and prosthetic device, not a device used to examine specimens derived from the human body for the purpose of providing information for diagnosis, monitoring, or compatibility testing.
  • Device Description: The description details physical components like implants, abutments, screws, and materials used in their construction. It also mentions software for designing prosthetics, but this software is for designing a physical device, not for analyzing biological samples.
  • Performance Studies: The performance studies focus on mechanical testing (fatigue, compression-bending), biocompatibility, sterilization, and software validation related to the design of the prosthetic components. There are no studies related to analyzing biological samples or providing diagnostic information.

The device is a dental implant system and associated prosthetic components, which falls under the category of medical devices used for surgical and restorative purposes.

The Indications for Use Statement for the subject device implants is identical to the reference device K180465, with the only difference being the indication of the Ø3.30 Provata implants limited to replacement of maxillary

15

and mandibular lateral and central incisors, and the additional limited use of straight abutments only for the 12° Co-Axis Provata implants. The Indications for Use Statement for the subject device is similar to the primary predicate device K180282 in terms of the limited indication for the narrow implants (Ø3.3mm and UNO implants) for replacement of mandibular central, lateral incisor and maxillary lateral incisor. The subject device thus has an indication for use significantly similar to the predicate devices. Additionally, the subject device Indications for Use statement specifies the intended use of the Narrow TIB Abutment identical to that of predicate K193084.

The primary predicate device K180282 is for substantial equivalence of the subject device Ø3.30 implant designs. The subject device implants have a similar internal hex connection and identical major diameter as implants in K180282, specifically the Narrow Platform MIS SEVEN implants. The subject device implants' indications for use is limited to the central and lateral mandbular and maxillary incisors, whereas the predicate's (K180282) indication for use excludes the maxillary central incisors. The reference device K163634 is for substantial equivalence of the subject device implant diameter, lengths (8.5 mm to 18 mm), platform angle (0° and 12°), material, machined collar, and endosseous surface. The reference device K180465 is for substantial equivalence of the subject device internal connection.

The reference device K180465 also serves as a predicate for substantial equivalence of the subject device Conventional abutment designs. The reference device K163634 is for the substantial equivalence of the subject device abutment-implant prosthetic diameter and surface treatment. The slight difference in Indications for Use statements for the Conventional Abutments and the reference device predicate K180465 does not affect the intended use of the devices, which is to provide support for crowns, bridges and overdentures in the maxilla and mandible. The slight difference in Indications for Use statement for the Conventional Abutments provides a description of the devices to differentiate them as prosthetic components being connected to endosseous dental implants, rather than being the endosseous implant.

The reference device K180465 also serves as a predicate for substantial equivalence of the subject device Temporary Titanium Abutment designs. The reference device K163634 is for the substantial equivalence of the subject device abutment-implant prosthetic diameter and surface treatment. The reference device K191250 serves as a predicate for substantial equivalence of the subject device Temporary Titanium Abutment Indications for Use.

The reference device K191250 also serves as a predicate for substantial equivalence of the subject device PEEK abutment designs and Indications for Use.

The reference device K193084 serves as a predicate for substantial equivalence of the subject device Narrow TIB Abutment Base designs and Indications for Use.

The subject device implants encompass similar ranges of dimensions as the predicate device cleared in K180282. The material, surface treatment applied to the endosseous threads of the implants is identical to that cleared in K163634 and K180465. The material and surface treatment applied to the subject device abutments is identical to that of the abutments cleared in K163634, K180465, K193084 and K191250. All subject device components are for single-patient, single-use, and all are provided sterile (except the Passive Abutments and Narrow TIB Abutment Bases which are provided non-sterile identical to Passive Abutments cleared in K180465 and the TIB Abutment Bases in K193084). Similarly, the components cleared in K180282, K163634, K180465 and K191250 are for single-patient, single-use and are provided sterile (excluding the Passive Abutments and Narrow TIB Abutment Bases).

Substantial equivalence of the subject device components in terms of biocompatibility is supported by the fact that materials are identical in formulation, processing, component interactions, and storage conditions to the devices in K163634, K180465, K193084 and K191250.

In support of substantial equivalence of the Ø3.30 implants in terms of mechanical performance, dynamic compression-bending testing was performed according to ISO 14801. Dynamic testing was performed on worstcase subject device constructs. The results from the testing demonstrated fatigue performance of the subject device that exceeds its indication. To demonstrate that the subject device 6 mm length Ø4.0 implants are substantially

16

equivalent to a predicate short length implant (cleared in K163634) a report detailing an analysis of the comparative surface area, the comparative bone-to-implant contact and the comparative pull-out strength is provided.
