MIS Dental Implant System 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 masticatory function. When a one-stage surgical procedure is applied, the implant may be immediately loaded when good primary stability is achieved and the occlusal load is appropriate. Narrow implants (Ø3.3mm) are indicated for use in surgical and restorative applications for placement only in the mandibular central, lateral incisor and maxillary lateral incisor regions of partially edentulous jaws, to provide support for prosthetic devices such as artificial teeth. Mandibular central and lateral incisors must be splinted if using two or more narrow implants adjacent to one another. MIS LYNX short implants are indicated for delayed loading only.
The two additional implant size offerings which are being added to the predicate MIS LYNX Conical Connection Dental Implant System (K241692), and are the subject of this submission, consist of a standard platform, 4.20 mm diameter implant and a wide platform, 5.00 mm diameter implant, each available in a 6 mm length.
The proposed implant offerings, as their predicate K241692, are root-form, bone-level, self-tapping, two-piece, screw-type implants which are intended for one- or two-stage dental implant procedures and are used in the upper or lower jaw for supporting tooth replacement to restore chewing function.
Each implant offering is provided with a compatible cover screw based on the implant platform (standard and wide). The cover screws are identical to those cleared in K241692 and are intended to be used in a two-stage surgical procedure as temporary components to the proposed endosseous implant to allow healing of the soft tissue. The cover screw is screwed into the implant's internal thread and the gums are sutured over the cover screw. The cover screw's purpose is to let the osseointegration begin without any forces being applied to the implant. After a healing period, the cover screw is exposed and is then removed and replaced by either a healing cap or an abutment.
The implants and cover screws are manufactured from titanium alloy (Ti-6Al-4V ELI complying with standard ASTM F136-13 - Standard Specification for Wrought Titanium-6Aluminum-4Vanadium ELI (Extra Low Interstitial) Alloy for Surgical Implant).
The proposed implants feature an outer profile which has a coronal section which is cylindrical and an apical section which is conical. The outer threads are designed so the implant has a self-drilling property. The implant's geometric design includes a dual thread feature and spiral channels (flutes) stemming from the apex. These spiral channels are designed to enable insertion torque reduction when applying reverse torque. The proposed implant design also includes circumferential grooves at the coronal area which are called "micro-rings". These horizontal micro-rings are designed to increase the BIC (Bone to Implant Contact) of the implant with the bone. The proposed implants feature a round (cylindrical) neck.
The proposed MIS LYNX Conical Connection Implants have a conical connection with an anti-rotation index of six positions and an internal thread for cover screws, screw-retained abutments and screwed healing caps. The implant-abutment connection surface of the proposed implants is anodized for color coding purposes to indicate the platform: purple for standard platform implants, and green for wide platform implants. The cover screws are also anodized for platform color coding.
The proposed implants are packaged in either a dry or wet package. Implants packaged in the wet packaging configuration are packaged in NaCl solution and are not anodized. The liquid environment is intended to maintain the super-hydrophilic (contact angle exhibited by water in contact with the surface is equal to zero degrees) property of the proposed dental implants until the implants are installed in patients.
This 510(k) clearance letter pertains to an Endosseous Dental Implant System, which is a physical medical device, not a software-driven AI device. Therefore, the concepts of acceptance criteria, study data, expert adjudication, MRMC studies, standalone algorithm performance, ground truth establishment for AI models, and training set sizes are not applicable to the information provided.
The document focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to predicate devices rather than proving performance against specific acceptance criteria in the context of an AI-driven system. The "acceptance criteria" here are implicitly the standards and performance levels demonstrated by the predicate and reference devices, as well as relevant ISO and ASTM standards.
Here's an analysis of the provided information, framed as closely as possible to your request, but acknowledging the device type:
Device: MIS LYNX Conical Connection Implant System
This device is an endosseous dental implant system, a physical medical device. The FDA clearance is based on demonstrating substantial equivalence to legally marketed predicate devices, not on the performance of an AI algorithm. Therefore, many of the requested fields related to AI model evaluation are not applicable.
Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance
The acceptance criteria are generally understood to be compliance with relevant international and national standards for dental implants, and performance comparable to or exceeding established predicate/reference devices.
Table of Acceptance Criteria (Inferred from testing) and Reported Device Performance:
| Acceptance Criteria (Inferred) | Reference Standard / Basis | Reported Device Performance |
|---|---|---|
| Mechanical Fatigue Strength | ISO 14801:2016, FDA Guidance | "confirms that the proposed device is similar in or exceeds performance when compared to the predicate (K241692) and reference (K180282) devices." |
| Bone-to-Implant Strength (Pull-out) | ASTM F543-23 Annex 3 | "the proposed device exhibited average pull-out forces which were larger than those of the reference device (K180282)." |
| MR Safety (Magnetically induced displacement force) | ASTM F2052-21 | Leveraged from predicate (K241692), device is labeled MR Conditional. |
| MR Safety (Magnetically induced torque) | ASTM F2213-17 | Leveraged from predicate (K241692), device is labeled MR Conditional. |
| MR Safety (Image Artifact) | ASTM F2119-07 (2013) | Leveraged from predicate (K241692), device is labeled MR Conditional. |
| MR Safety (RF Induced Heating Simulation) | Computational modeling and simulation (CM&S) | Leveraged from predicate (K241692), device is labeled MR Conditional. |
| Surface Area (Bone Contact) | CAD Software Analysis | "the implant surface area and initial bone-to-implant contact area calculations, simulating the recommended surgical drilling protocol in a CAD model, is equivalent between proposed and reference (K180282) implants of the same length and diameter." |
| Biocompatibility | N/A - Leveraged from predicate | "additional biocompatibility... testing was not necessary to demonstrate substantial equivalence of the proposed device" due to identical materials and manufacturing processes. |
| Sterilization | N/A - Leveraged from predicate | "additional... sterilization... testing was not necessary" due to identical processes. |
| Package and Shelf life | N/A - Leveraged from predicate | "additional... package and shelf life testing was not necessary" due to identical materials and processes. |
Regarding the other requested information (primarily relevant to AI/Software-as-a-Medical-Device):
-
Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance: Not applicable. The testing done was laboratory-based mechanical and MR safety testing, not evaluation of an AI model with a clinical test set. The implant dimensions analyzed for surface area were "smallest implant length (6 mm) and diameter (4.20 mm)" for proposed and reference devices. Pull-out testing and fatigue testing would have involved a number of physical samples per test, but specific quantities are not detailed in this summary.
-
Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts: Not applicable. Ground truth as typically understood for AI (e.g., expert labels on medical images) is not relevant here. The "ground truth" for mechanical testing is established by physical measurements and engineering principles.
-
Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set: Not applicable.
-
If a multi reader multi case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done, If so, what was the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance: Not applicable. This is a physical dental implant, not an AI assistance system for human readers.
-
If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done: Not applicable.
-
The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc): For mechanical properties, the "ground truth" is derived from established engineering test methods and their performance metrics (e.g., load at failure, cycles to failure). For MR safety, it's compliance with established safety limits for magnetic fields.
-
The sample size for the training set: Not applicable. There is no AI model or training set mentioned.
-
How the ground truth for the training set was established: Not applicable.
In summary: The provided document is an FDA 510(k) clearance letter for a conventional physical medical device (dental implant system). The evaluation and clearance process for such devices involve demonstrating safety and effectiveness by showing substantial equivalence to existing legally marketed devices, typically through non-clinical (laboratory) testing, materials characterization, and compliance with recognized standards. The concepts and terminology in your request are largely tailored to the evaluation of AI/Machine Learning-driven medical devices, which is not what this document addresses.

4. Description of Device:
The two additional implant size offerings which are being added to the predicate MIS LYNX Conical Connection Dental Implant System (K241692), and are the subject of this submission, consist of a standard platform, 4.20 mm diameter implant and a wide platform, 5.00 mm diameter implant, each available in a 6 mm length.
The proposed implant offerings, as their predicate K241692, are root-form, bone-level, self-tapping, two-piece, screw-type implants which are intended for one- or two-stage dental implant procedures and are used in the upper or lower jaw for supporting tooth replacement to restore chewing function.
Each implant offering is provided with a compatible cover screw based on the implant platform (standard and wide). The cover screws are identical to those cleared in K241692 and are intended to be used in a two-stage surgical procedure as temporary components to the proposed endosseous implant to allow healing of the soft tissue. The cover screw is screwed into the implant's internal thread and the gums are sutured over the cover screw. The cover screw's

Page 7
Page 2 of 8
purpose is to let the osseointegration begin without any forces being applied to the implant. After a healing period, the cover screw is exposed and is then removed and replaced by either a healing cap or an abutment.
The implants and cover screws are manufactured from titanium alloy (Ti-6Al-4V ELI complying with standard ASTM F136-13 - Standard Specification for Wrought Titanium-6Aluminum-4Vanadium ELI (Extra Low Interstitial) Alloy for Surgical Implant).
The proposed implants feature an outer profile which has a coronal section which is cylindrical and an apical section which is conical. The outer threads are designed so the implant has a self-drilling property. The implant's geometric design includes a dual thread feature and spiral channels (flutes) stemming from the apex. These spiral channels are designed to enable insertion torque reduction when applying reverse torque. The proposed implant design also includes circumferential grooves at the coronal area which are called "micro-rings". These horizontal micro-rings are designed to increase the BIC (Bone to Implant Contact) of the implant with the bone. The proposed implants feature a round (cylindrical) neck.
The proposed MIS LYNX Conical Connection Implants have a conical connection with an anti-rotation index of six positions and an internal thread for cover screws, screw-retained abutments and screwed healing caps. The implant-abutment connection surface of the proposed implants is anodized for color coding purposes to indicate the platform: purple for standard platform implants, and green for wide platform implants. The cover screws are also anodized for platform color coding.
The proposed implants are packaged in either a dry or wet package. Implants packaged in the wet packaging configuration are packaged in NaCl solution and are not anodized. The liquid environment is intended to maintain the super-hydrophilic (contact angle exhibited by water in contact with the surface is equal to zero degrees) property of the proposed dental implants until the implants are installed in patients.
5. Intended Use and Indications for Use:
The intended use of the proposed and predicate (K241692) devices are identical.
Intended to be surgically placed in the bone of the upper or lower jaw arches for anchoring or supporting tooth replacement to restore chewing function.
The indications for use of the proposed and predicate (K241692) devices are similar with additions from K180282:
MIS Dental Implant System 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 masticatory function. When a one-stage surgical procedure is applied, the implant may be immediately loaded when good primary stability is achieved and the occlusal load is appropriate. Narrow implants (Ø3.3mm) are indicated for use in surgical and restorative applications for placement only in the mandibular central, lateral incisor and maxillary lateral incisor regions of partially edentulous jaws, to provide support for prosthetic devices such as artificial teeth. Mandibular central and lateral incisors must be splinted if using two or more narrow implants adjacent to one another. MIS LYNX short implants are indicated for delayed loading only.
6. Technological Comparison:
The proposed MIS LYNX Conical Connection Implants are bone level implants made of the same raw material (Ti-6Al-4V ELI per ASTM F136) and undergo the same manufacturing, surface treatment, packaging and sterilization process as the predicate device (K241692).
Page 8
Page 3 of 8
The proposed implants are available in diameters and platforms (4.20 mm diameter for standard, 5.00 mm diameter for wide) which are identical to those available in the previously cleared predicate (K241692) and reference (K180282) devices. The two additional proposed device offerings are available in a single length, 6mm, which is identical to the implant length previously cleared for the same 4.20 mm and 5.00 mm implant diameters of the reference device (K180282).
The conical connection of the proposed implants has the same 12° cone angulation as the predicate device (K241692). The implant-abutment conical connection of the proposed implants is identical to that of the standard and wide platforms of the predicate device (K241692). The proposed implants are provided with cover screws which are identical to those previously cleared for use with the standard and wide platforms of the predicate device (K241692).
As with the predicate device (K241692), the overall implant body design of the proposed implants is tapered and dual-threaded with a domed apex and circumferential grooves in the coronal area of the implant, called "Micro-Rings". The implant body is partially cylindrical (the coronal part of the implant) and partially conical (the apical part of the implant).
The coronal area of the proposed implants consists of a round (cylindrical) neck and a bevel which slightly elevates the implant-abutment connection above bone level and is very similar to the coronal area design of the reference device (K180282).
The proposed device is available in the same two packaging configurations which are also available with the predicate device (K241692); a "dry" packaging configuration in which the implant is placed in an inner tube in air, and a "wet" packaging configuration in which the implant is placed in an inner tube in NaCl solution.
Both the proposed device and the predicate device (K241692) are delivered sterile, for single use, and are sterilized by Gamma radiation.
An overall comparison of the technological characteristics between the proposed, predicate (K241692) and reference (K180282) devices is provided in Table 6.1.

7. Non-Clinical Tests Summary and Conclusion:
Fatigue testing was performed according to ISO 14801:2016 Dentistry – Implants – Dynamic fatigue test for endosseous dental implants and FDA guidance document "Root-form endosseous dental implants and endosseous dental abutments", and confirms that the proposed device is similar in or exceeds performance when compared to the predicate (K241692) and reference (K180282) devices.
Pull-out testing was performed to help support substantial equivalence and to ensure that the bone-to-implant strength of the proposed implants is appropriate for their intended use. Testing was performed based on Annex 3 of ASTM F543-23, Standard Specification and Test Methods for Metallic Medical Bone Screws. In both soft and hard bone replicas, the proposed device exhibited average pull-out forces which were larger than those of the reference device (K180282).
A surface area analysis using CAD software was performed with the smallest implant length (6 mm) and diameter (4.20 mm) available for both the proposed and reference (K180282) devices to demonstrate that the endosseous area that contacts bone of both implants is equivalent between the two devices. In summary, the implant surface area and initial bone-to-implant contact area calculations, simulating the recommended surgical drilling protocol in a CAD model, is equivalent between proposed and reference (K180282) implants of the same length and diameter.
The following testing and analysis were leveraged from the predicate (K241692):
- Magnetically induced displacement force, according to ASTM F2052-21, Standard test method for measurement of magnetically induced displacement force on medical devices in the magnetic resonance environment
- Magnetically induced torque, according to ASTM F2213-17, Standard test method for measurement of magnetically induced torque on medical devices in magnetic resonance environment
- Image Artifact, according to ASTM F2119-07 (2013), Standard test method for evaluation of MR image artifacts from passive implants
- RF Induced Heating Simulation using Computational modeling and simulation (CM&S)
Based on the test and analysis results included by reference, the proposed implants, as their predicate K241692, are labeled as MR Conditional.
The proposed and predicate (K241692) devices are manufactured from identical materials and undergo the same machining, degreasing, anodization, sand-blasting, pre-etching and acid-etching processes. In addition, the packaging materials, packaging configurations, packaging process and sterilization process of the proposed device are identical to those of the predicate device (K241692). Therefore, additional biocompatibility, sterilization, package and shelf life testing was not necessary to demonstrate substantial equivalence of the proposed device.

8. Clinical Tests Summary and Conclusion:
Not applicable. There are no clinical tests submitted, referenced, or relied on in the 510(k) for a determination of substantial equivalence.
9. Conclusion Regarding Substantial Equivalence:
The proposed device is made of the same material as the predicate device (K241692), which is Ti 6Al-4V ELI, and is subjected to the same manufacturing, surface treatment, packaging and sterilization processes as the predicate device (K241692). The proposed device is provided with identical cover screws and incorporates an identical implant-abutment connection geometry as that of the standard and wide implant platforms of the predicate device (K241692). The predicate device (K241692) is currently available in the same diameters and platforms as those of the proposed device. In addition, the proposed device is also available in the same length, diameter and platform combinations as the similar legally marketed reference device (K180282).
The minor differences in design of the proposed, predicate (K241692) and reference (K180282) devices do not raise new concerns regarding safety or performance, and the performance and safety data included or referenced in this premarket notification support a conclusion of substantial equivalence.
