Yes

These implants are used to restore chewing function by providing artificial tooth support, addressing a physiological dysfunction.

No

Explanation: The device is an artificial root structure (dental implant) used to restore chewing function. Its purpose is structural and functional support, not diagnosis. The text describes its use in surgical and restorative applications, and various testings performed, none of which relate to diagnosing a condition or disease.

No

The device description clearly states it comprises physical components like endosseous root-form dental implants, cover screws, and compatible abutments, which are surgically implanted. It also details the materials used (Titanium alloy) and manufacturing processes.

Based on the provided text, the Paltop Short Implants are not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the device is for surgical and restorative applications, acting as an artificial root structure in the bone to support prosthetic devices and restore chewing function. This is a direct intervention on the patient's body.
  • Device Description: The description details a physical implant and associated components that are surgically placed in the jawbone.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The text does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD device, such as:
    • Analyzing samples from the human body (blood, urine, tissue, etc.).
    • Providing information about a physiological state, health, disease, or congenital abnormality.
    • Being used in a laboratory setting for diagnostic purposes.

The Paltop Short Implants are a medical device used for surgical and prosthetic purposes, not for in vitro diagnostic testing.

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

Comparative testing in the form of Pull-Out, surface area and BIC testing was performed to ensure that the performance of the subject device is appropriate for its intended use.

According to 'Root-form Endosseous Dental Implants and Endosseous Dental Abutments - Class II Special Controls Guidance Document for Industry and FDA Staff', static and dynamic testing were not required to be performed for the purposes of this submission. As stated in the FDA guidance document, it is recommended to conduct fatigue testing on devices which : 'consist of angled abutments; are implant or abutment designs that are significantly different from predicate devices; or have design features or technological characteristics that have not been previously cleared for market'. Since none of these criteria are applicable for the Paltop Short Implants, it was concluded that fatigue testing is not required.

Biological Evaluation of the Subject device was performed according to ISO 10993-1.

Endotoxin testing on the Subject device or suitable test specimens are performed following USP and USP according to the sponsor's endotoxin sampling plan, and testing is leverage from the sponsor's Reference device K210117.

Test results and Sterilization revalidations performed for the sponsor's Reference devices K210117 and Subject Devices are leveraged to demonstrate suitable sterilization of the Subject device sterile components.

Shelf-life testing is leveraged from the sponsor's Reference device K210117 to support shelf-life of Subject device sterile components.

Cleaning and sterilization validations for non-sterile components which may be modified and require subsequent sterilization is leveraged from the Reference device K210117.

Non-clinical worst-case MRI review was performed to evaluate the Subject device components in the MRI environment using scientific rationale and published literature (e.g., Woods, Terry O., Jana G. Delfino, and Sunder Rajan, "Assessment of Magnetically Induced Displacement Force and Torque on Metal Alloys Used in Medical Devices." Journal of Testing and Evaluation 49.2 (2019): 783-795), based on the entire system including all variations (all compatible implant bodies, and fixation screws) and material composition. The Subject devices are composed of material that is electrically nonconductive, nonmetallic, and nonmagnetic. Rationale addressed parameters per the FDA guidance "Testing and Labeling Medical Devices for Safety in the Magnetic Resonance (MR) Environment," including magnetically induced displacement force and torque.

No clinical data were included in this submission.

Overall, the Subject device abutments are highly similar to the Reference devices K210117, K220200, and K112795.

Abutment designs are the same in principle as the Reference devices found in K210117, K220200, and K112795. Critical abutment dimensions, such as the gingival height, prosthetic diameter, and post heights are highly similar between the Subject devices and K210117, K220200, and K112795 Reference device abutment designs. Subject device abutments and screws are fabricated from the same materials as the Reference devices K210117 and K220200.

Sterilization and packaging of the sterile Subject device abutments and screws are the Reference devices K210117 and K220200.

Cleaning and sterilization of non-sterile Subject device abutments and screws are the Reference devices K210117 and K220200.

Cover Screws

The Subject device Cover Screw is highly similar to the Reference devices K220200 and K112795 cover screws, with a slightly larger platform diameter.

Healing Caps

The Subject device Healing Caps are highly similar to the K210117, K220200, and K112795 Reference device Healing Caps, with slight differences in gingival height, anodization color, prosthetic diameter and post height dimensions. There is an additional gingival height option in the Subject device. Implant/abutment connection is the same as Reference device K112795 with an additional wider platform and differs from the implant/abutment connection of Reference device K220200. Implant/abutment connection interface is the same as Reference Device K210117 in wider platforms.

Straight Abutments

The Subject device Straight Abutments are highly similar to the K220200 and K112795 Reference device Straight Abutments, with slight differences in design, gingival height, prosthetic diameter, and post height dimensions. lmplant connection is the same as Reference device K112795 in a wider platform and differs from the implant connection of Reference device K220200.

Snap-On Abutment System (SAS) Abutments

The Subject device Snap-On Abutment System (SAS Abutments) are similar to the K220200 Reference device SAS Abutments with slight differences in gingival height, platform diameter, and a different implant-abutment connection.

Ball Abutment

The Subject device Straight Ball Abutment is highly similar to the K220200 and K112795 Reference device Ball Abutments, with slight differences in post height, and prosthetic diameter. Implant abutment connection and platform is the same as Reference device K112795.

Temporary Abutments

The Subject device Titanium Temporary Abutments (engaging and non-engaging) are highly similar to the

19

K210117 and K220200 Reference device Titanium Temporary Abutments (engaging and non-engaging) differing in prosthetic diameter. Reference Device K210117 has the same implant abutment connection with a different platform, and the implant abutment connection of the Subject device differs from the implant abutment connection of K220200.

Minor differences in the external thread designs, dimensions, abutment designs, sizes, or implant abutment connections between the Subject device, the primary Predicate device, and the Reference devices do not affect substantial equivalence.

The gingival height dimensions of the Subject device abutment components (0.5-7 mm) are highly similar to and encompassed by the K210117, K220200, and K112795 Reference devices (0-7 mm).

The prosthetic diameters of the Subject device abutment components (4-6.5 mm) are highly similar to the K210117, K220200, and K112795 Reference devices (3-6 mm).

Overall, the Subject, primary Predicate and Reference devices encompass a similar range of physical dimensions. Paltop Short Implants are only indicated for use with straight abutments; therefore, fatigue testing is not required.

20

NON-CLINICAL PERFORMANCE TEST DATA

Comparative testing in the form of Pull-Out, surface area and BIC testing was performed to ensure that the performance of the subject device is appropriate for its intended use.

According to 'Root-form Endosseous Dental Implants and Endosseous Dental Abutments - Class II Special Controls Guidance Document for Industry and FDA Staff', static and dynamic testing were not required to be performed for the purposes of this submission. As stated in the FDA guidance document, it is recommended to conduct fatigue testing on devices which : 'consist of angled abutments; are implant or abutment designs that are significantly different from predicate devices; or have design features or technological characteristics that have not been previously cleared for market'. Since none of these criteria are applicable for the Paltop Short Implants, it was concluded that fatigue testing is not required.

The Subject devices have the same nature of body contact, contact duration, material formulation, surface treatment, and sterilization methods compared to the sponsor's Reference device.

Biological Evaluation of the Subject device was performed according to ISO 10993-1.

Test results from ISO 10993-5 Cytotoxicity testing is leveraged from the sponsor's Reference device K210177 to support suitable biocompatibility of the Subject device.

Endotoxin testing on the Subject device or suitable test specimens are performed following USP and USP according to the sponsor's endotoxin sampling plan, and testing is leverage from the sponsor's Reference device K210117.

Test results and Sterilization revalidations performed for the sponsor's Reference devices K210117 and Subject Devices are leveraged to demonstrate suitable sterilization of the Subject device sterile components.

Shelf-life testing is leveraged from the sponsor's Reference device K210117 to support shelf-life of Subject device sterile components.

Cleaning and sterilization validations for non-sterile components which may be modified and require subsequent sterilization is leveraged from the Reference device K210117.

Non-clinical worst-case MRI review was performed to evaluate the Subject device components in the MRI environment using scientific rationale and published literature (e.g., Woods, Terry O., Jana G. Delfino, and Sunder Rajan, "Assessment of Magnetically Induced Displacement Force and Torque on Metal Alloys Used in Medical Devices." Journal of Testing and Evaluation 49.2 (2019): 783-795), based on the entire system including all variations (all compatible implant bodies, and fixation screws) and material composition. The Subject devices are composed of material that is electrically nonconductive, nonmetallic, and nonmagnetic. Rationale addressed parameters per the FDA guidance "Testing and Labeling Medical Devices for Safety in the Magnetic Resonance (MR) Environment," including magnetically induced displacement force and torque.

No clinical data were included in this submission.

21

CONCLUSION

The Indications for Use statements for the Subject, primary Predicate, and Reference devices are highly similar.

The technological characteristics, mode of operation, and materials of the Subject device are the same or highly similar to that of the primary Predicate and Reference devices. Slight differences in design dimensions do not affect the intended use of the device and are mitigated or supported through non-clinical performance testing results.

Overall, the data included in this premarket notification demonstrate substantial equivalence of Subject device to the sponsor's Predicate device.
