Intended Use
The Zfx Abutments are intended to be used in conjunction with endosseous dental implants in the maxillary or mandbular arch to provide support for prosthetic restorations. All digitally designed custom abutments or superstructures and/or hybrid abutment crowns for use with Zfx TiBase or Pre-Milled Blank Abutments are intended to be sent to a Zfx validated milling center for manufacture. The Zfx TiBase abutments for the 03.25 mm Certain implant bodies, and 03.1 mm Eztetic implant bodies are indicated for maxillary lateral and mandibular central/lateral incisors only.
Device Description
The subject device, Zfx Abutments, consists of two abutment types, a TiBase and a Pre-milled Abutment Blank, with corresponding retaining screws. Zfx Abutments are offered in a variety of connections compatible with ZimVie dental implants. All abutments and screws are provided non-sterile. TiBase Abutments: Subject device TiBases are two-piece abutments. The pre-manufactured titanium base component is the apical part. The coronal part of the two-piece abutment is a CAD/CAM designed and manufactured superstructure. The subject device TiBase abutments are available in hexed/engaging and non-hexed/nonengaging configurations. The engaging TiBase abutments are intended for single and multi-unit restorations and the non-engaging TiBases are intended for multi-unit restorations. The superstructure is intended to be manufactured at a Zfx validated milling center. Pre-milled Abutment Blanks: The Pre-milled Abutment Blank is a cylindrical titanium alloy abutment designed for patient-specific abutment fabrication with CAD/CAM technology. The patient-specific abutment milled from a Pre-milled Abutment Blank is secured directly to the implant using a retaining screw. Pre-milled Abutment Blanks are available in an engaging/hexed design only for single-unit and multi-unit restorations. Retaining Screws: Corresponding retaining screws are packaged with the abutment and replacement screws are available individually. All screws are compatible with the corresponding ZimVie dental implants. Material Composition: All subject device abutments are made of titanium alloy Ti-6Al-4V ELI conforming to ASTM F136. Screws are made of either titanium alloy Ti-6A1-4V ELI conforming to ASTM F136, or Gold-Tite® screws with stainless steel conforming to ASTM F138. Gold-Tite screws have a gold-plating conforming to ASTM B488 and ASTM B571. Zirconia superstructures for use with the TiBase Abutments are made of zirconia conforming to ISO 13356.
More Information

K22288

No
The summary describes a physical dental abutment device and its manufacturing process using CAD/CAM technology. There is no mention of AI or ML being used in the design, manufacturing, or function of the device itself. The "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML" field is explicitly marked as "Not Found".

No
The device, Zfx Abutments, is intended to "provide support for prosthetic restorations" in conjunction with dental implants. Its function is structural support for a prosthesis, not to treat or cure a disease or condition.

No

Explanation: The device, Zfx Abutments, is described as a prosthetic restoration component used with dental implants, not for identifying or investigating a disease, injury, or other condition.

No

The device description clearly states that the device consists of physical components: TiBase and Pre-milled Abutment Blanks made of titanium alloy, and corresponding retaining screws. The submission also includes non-clinical testing data for these physical components (sterilization, biocompatibility, mechanical testing, MR Safety). While the process involves digital design (CAD/CAM), the final device is a physical implant component.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states the device is for providing support for prosthetic restorations in the mouth, in conjunction with dental implants. This is a mechanical function within the body.
  • Device Description: The description details physical components like abutments, screws, and materials used for dental prosthetics.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment. The device itself is a physical component for dental restoration.

Therefore, the Zfx Abutments are a medical device, but not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Dear Ana Leitão:

We have reviewed your section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database available at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
