Intended Use

Straumann® dental implants are indicated for the functional and esthetic oral rehabilitation of the upper or lower jaw of edentulous or partially edentulous patients. They can be used for immediate, early or late implantation following the extraction or loss of natural teeth. The implants can be placed with immediate function for single-tooth and/or multiple-tooth restorations when good primary stability is achieved and with appropriate occlusal loading to restore chewing function.

Device Description

The subject devices are part of the Straumann® Dental Implant System, which is an integrated system of endosseous dental implants with corresponding abutments and healing components as well as instruments and prosthetic parts. Straumann® dental implants are solid screw implants with a bone anchorage surface that is large-grit sandblasted and acid-etched. In addition, SLActive® is in a chemically activated state, which is preserved by storage in a saline solution (NaCI). Straumann® dental implants can be used following the extraction or loss of natural teeth to restore chewing function. The prosthetic restorations supported are single crowns, bridges and partial or full dentures, which are connected to the implants using the corresponding abutments.

The BLC and TLC implants features the TorcFit connection and are available in the maximum endosteal outer diameters ø 3.3 mm, ø 3.75 mm, ø 5.5 mm and Ø 6.5 mm.

5.8 Performance Testing

Sterilization Validation and Shelf-life

The subject devices are provided sterile via gamma irradiation at a dose of 25 kGy and will be sterilized after final packaging. The sterilization process for the subject devices as recommended in the labeling was validated to a sterility assurance level (SAL) of 10° in accordance with ISO 11137-1:2006, "Sterilization of health care products - Radiation - Part 1: Requirements for development, validation and routine control of a sterilization process for medical devices, 2006-04-05". The validation method used was the over kill bioburden (or VDmax25) method in accordance with ISO 11137- 2:2013, "Sterilization of health care products – Radiation – Part 2: Establishing the sterilization dose". There are no changes to the sterilization procedures or processes from those of the Straumann primary predicate devices (K150938), the subject devices do not represent a higher challenge to the sterilization process in comparison to the validated worst-case product and validated irradiation sterilization process.

The packaging of the subject device is equivalent to the packaging of the primary predicate and reference device. The shelf life for devices provided sterile is 5 years.

The devices will not be marketed as non-pyrogenic. Pyrogenicity information provided is based on FDA Guidance on "Submission and Review of Sterility Information in Premarket Notification (510(k)) Submission for Devices Labeled as Sterile, issued on 21 January 2016." The method used to determine the device meets pyrogen limit specifications is LAL Endotoxin Analysis with testing limit of 20 EU/device, based on a blood contacting and implanted device.

Biocompatibility Testing

Biological assessment has been performed according to ISO 10993-1 "Biological evaluation of medical devices – Part 1: Evaluation and testing within a risk management process" and to the FDA Guidance document "Use of International Standard ISO 10993- 1, 'Biological evaluation of medical devices – Part 1: Evaluation and testing within a risk management process', Guidance for Industry and Food and Drug Administration Staff, Document issued on: June 16, 2016" for each of the subject devices.

The subject devices are equivalent in material, surface, manufacturing processes, sterilization process, body contact and contact duration to the reference device K210855 therefore, no new issues regarding biocompatibility were raised.

{12}------------------------------------------------

Straumann® BLC and TLC Implants

Appendix 5-10

Electromagnetic Compatibility

There are no significant changes to the materials and dimensions from the currently marketed predicate devices. Therefore, no new issues of electromagnetic compatibility are raised for the subject devices and they can be considered MR Conditional.

The subject implants have obtained the status of MR Conditional per K180540. The MR Conditional tests were conducted according to FDA's Guidance "Testing and Labeling Medical Devices for Safety in Magnetic Resonance (MR) Environment".

Performance Testing – Bench

Dynamic fatigue testing was conducted according to 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 ISO 14801 "Dentistry — Implants — Dynamic loading test for endosseous dental implants" and demonstrated the subject devices are equivalent to the primary predicate and reference devices. The test was conducted in saline (2 Hz and 37°C) at 2 million cycles covering permanent restoration of the implant without failure.

Insertion tests were performed for the subject implants and it could be proven that there is an adequate insertion torque in different bone classes when the implant is inserted according to the surgical procedure.

A comparison of the bone-to-implant contact (BIC) and pull-out force between the subject implants and previously cleared devices (K150938) was performed.

  • As part of the BIC evaluation, the nominal endosseous surface area of the subject devices was calculated and then compared to the contact surface area of the reference devices. The analysis concludes that the acceptance criterion is met; the subject devices have a larger endosseous surface area, and therefore, more area of bone-to-implant contact compared to the corresponding reference device.

  • To determine the pull-out force, the implants were inserted in bone substitute material and then pulled-out while the resistance was measured. The analysis concludes that the acceptance criterion is met; the subject devices have a higher pull-out force compared to the corresponding reference device.

The subject devices were analyzed using scanning electron microscopy and light microscopy to investigate the apical end of the implant body after removal from the packaging. All the inspected implants showed a uniform breaking surface, with no residual metal fragments at the broken tip area.

The subject device surface treatments are identical to the surface treatments of the primary predicate and reference devices cleared under K150938. K173961. K210855. K200586 and K153758. The SLA® surface treatment is a sand-blasted, large grit, acid etched surface. The SLActive® surface treatment is a sand-blasted, large grit, acid etched, chemically active and hydrophilic surface. The surface is routinely tested by roughness measurement or scanning electron microscopy.

Conclusion

The documentation submitted in this premarket notification demonstrates the subject devices are substantially equivalent to the primary predicate and reference devices.

§ 872.3640 Endosseous dental implant.

(a)
Identification. An endosseous dental implant is a prescription device made of a material such as titanium or titanium alloy that is intended to be surgically placed in the bone of the upper or lower jaw arches to provide support for prosthetic devices, such as artificial teeth, in order to restore a patient's chewing function.(b)
Classification. (1) Class II (special controls). The device is classified as class II if it is a root-form endosseous dental implant. The root-form endosseous dental implant is characterized by four geometrically distinct types: Basket, screw, solid cylinder, and hollow cylinder. The guidance document entitled “Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Root-Form Endosseous Dental Implants and Endosseous Dental Implant Abutments” will serve as the special control. (See § 872.1(e) for the availability of this guidance document.)(2)
Classification. Class II (special controls). The device is classified as class II if it is a blade-form endosseous dental implant. The special controls for this device are:(i) The design characteristics of the device must ensure that the geometry and material composition are consistent with the intended use;
(ii) Mechanical performance (fatigue) testing under simulated physiological conditions to demonstrate maximum load (endurance limit) when the device is subjected to compressive and shear loads;
(iii) Corrosion testing under simulated physiological conditions to demonstrate corrosion potential of each metal or alloy, couple potential for an assembled dissimilar metal implant system, and corrosion rate for an assembled dissimilar metal implant system;
(iv) The device must be demonstrated to be biocompatible;
(v) Sterility testing must demonstrate the sterility of the device;
(vi) Performance testing to evaluate the compatibility of the device in a magnetic resonance (MR) environment;
(vii) Labeling must include a clear description of the technological features, how the device should be used in patients, detailed surgical protocol and restoration procedures, relevant precautions and warnings based on the clinical use of the device, and qualifications and training requirements for device users including technicians and clinicians;
(viii) Patient labeling must contain a description of how the device works, how the device is placed, how the patient needs to care for the implant, possible adverse events and how to report any complications; and
(ix) Documented clinical experience must demonstrate safe and effective use and capture any adverse events observed during clinical use.
