Intended Use
Ti Link Abutment is intended for use with dental implants as a support for single or multiple tooth prostheses in the maxilla or mandible of a partially or fully edentulous patient. All digitally designed abutments for use with Ti Link Abutment are intended to be manufactured at a Izenimplant validated milling center.
Device Description
The Ti Link Abutment is a two-piece abutment intended to provide support for restorations such as crowns and bridges. The two pieces which compose the final abutment consist of the pre-manufactured titanium base component composed of titanium alloy conforming to ASTM F136, and the CAD/CAM patient matched mesostructure composed of zirconia (K091096). The diameters of the premanufactured titanium base component are 4.0/4.5mm. The final two-piece abutment is fixed to the implant with an abutment screw composed of titanium alloy conforming to ASTM F136. Ti Link Abutment is provided non-sterile, therefore must be sterilized after the cementation of the CAD/CAM patient matched mesostructure on the pre-manufactured titanium base component. The abutments are compatible with the implants cleared under K211090. The CAD/CAM patient matched mesostructure that is added to the pre-manufactured titanium base component to create the final abutment design should be designed and milled through the CAD/CAM software, according to the prosthetic planning and patient clinical situation. The coping and crowns designed using these or more recent versions of the CAD/CAM System, within the design limits as defined within the design software, are compatible with the Ti Link Abutment. The coping would be manufactured by Izenimplant only with design input using CAD/CAM Software from and by Izenimplant milling center. CAD/CAM patient matched mesostructure is made from NaturaZ (K091096) and is cemented to the pre-manufactured titanium base component using RelyX cement (K110508) to complete the final finished abutment.

Explanation: The device, Ti Link Abutment, is described as a two-piece abutment intended to provide support for restorations like crowns and bridges on dental implants. Its description focuses on its materials, manufacturing process, and compatibility with implants and CAD/CAM systems. There is no indication that it is used to diagnose any condition, disease, or provide diagnostic information.

No

The device description clearly outlines physical components made of titanium alloy and zirconia, which are hardware. While CAD/CAM software is mentioned for design, the final device is a physical abutment.

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 supporting dental prostheses in the maxilla or mandible. This is a structural and mechanical function within the body.
  • Device Description: The description details the physical components (titanium base, zirconia mesostructure, screw) and their materials. It describes how the device is assembled and used to support a restoration.
  • 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, etc.) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment.

IVD devices are used outside the body to analyze samples for diagnostic purposes. This device is implanted within the body to provide structural support.
