More Information

No
The summary describes physical dental abutments and zirconia discs used for manufacturing prosthetic restorations via a digital workflow and milling process. There is no mention of AI or ML being used in the design, manufacturing, or function of the device itself. The "digitally designed" aspect refers to CAD/CAM, not necessarily AI/ML-driven design.

Yes
The device "Straumann® Variobase® Abutments" are prosthetic components that provide support for customized prosthetic restorations, including temporary and permanent dental restorations. This aligns with the definition of a therapeutic device which is intended to treat or alleviate a condition.

No

This device is described as prosthetic components (abutments and zirconia discs) used to support or create dental restorations, not to diagnose a condition.

No

The device description clearly outlines physical components (abutments, zirconia discs) and manufacturing processes (milling), indicating it is a hardware device, not software-only.

Based on the provided text, these devices are not IVDs (In Vitro Diagnostics).

Here's why:

  • IVDs are used to examine specimens from the human body. The intended use and device description clearly state that these devices are prosthetic components placed onto dental implants or used to create restorations for natural teeth. They are physical components used in the body or to create things that go in the body, not for testing samples from the body.
  • The purpose is to provide support for and create dental restorations. This is a mechanical and structural function, not a diagnostic one.
  • The performance studies focus on mechanical strength, biocompatibility, and material properties. These are relevant to the physical function and safety of a dental prosthetic, not to the accuracy of a diagnostic test.

Therefore, the Straumann® Variobase® Abutments and Straumann® nice® Zirconia discs are considered medical devices, but they do not fit the definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

Straumann® Variobase® Abutments

Dynamic fatique and static strength tests were conducted according to ISO 14801 and the FDA guidance document "Guidance for Industry and FDA Staff – Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Root-form Endosseous Dental Implants and Endosseous Dental Abutments" and demonstrated the two-piece Straumann Variobase Abutments with Straumann n!ce Zirconia are equivalent to the primary predicate and reference devices.

The material of the bottom half of the Variobase Abutments is identical to the primary predicate device, therefore, no new issues regarding biocompatibility were raised. The top half of the twopiece abutment, the ceramic component milled from Straumann n!ce Zirconia (ZrO2), differs only in the chemical composition, therefore, biocompatibility was confirmed with chemical characterization and in-vitro cytotoxicity according to ISO 10993-12, and 10993-18.

The sterilization process for the subject devices as recommended in the labeling was validated according to ISO 17665-1, ISO 17665-2, and applicable recommendations in the FDA guidance document "Reprocessing Medical Devices in Health Care Settings: Validation Methods and Labeling, issued on March 17, 2015".

Straumann® n!ce® Zirconia discs

The Straumann n!ce Zirconia discs are subject to ISO 6872, Dentistry - Ceramic materials. According to ISO 6872 dental ceramics are classified according to their recommended clinical indication and their mechanical properties. The requirements listed apply as per ISO 6872: Uniformity, freedom from extraneous materials, radioactivity, flexural strength, chemical solubility, CTE (coefficient of thermal expansion) and shrinkage factor.

The Straumann n!ce Zirconia (ZrQ2) discs are similar to the reference devices cleared in K072569 and K170050, therefore, no new issues regarding biocompatibility were raised. The ceramic component milled from Straumann n!ce Zirconia (ZrO2) discs were evaluated for chemical characterization and in-vitro cytotoxicity according to ISO 10993-5, . 10993-12 and 10993-18.
