No

The device description explicitly lists hardware components such as "Bone Plate and/or Intraosseous Fixation Screw or Wire," "Bone Plates and Screws," and "Osseous Fixation Systems," along with predicate devices that are also hardware systems.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes a device used for surgical procedures involving bone fixation and membrane stabilization in the oral and maxillofacial region. This is a direct intervention on the patient's body.
  • Device Description: The device is described as bone plates, screws, and wires, which are physical implants and fixation devices used during surgery.
  • Anatomical Site: The anatomical site is the oral and maxillofacial region, indicating a surgical application.
  • Input Imaging Modality: While imaging is used for planning, it's for assessing the patient's anatomy before the surgical procedure, not for analyzing a sample in vitro.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, tissue, etc.) outside of the body, which is the defining characteristic of an in vitro diagnostic device.

In summary, this device is a surgical implant/fixation system, not a diagnostic tool that analyzes samples outside the body.

    1. PERFORMANCE STANDARDS: Unknown
    1. PRIOR INDICATIONS FOR USE:

The 3i Cobalt-Chrome Osseous Fixation System is designed as a temporary fixation device, used in oral and maxilofacial surgical procedures for rigid stabilization of fractured bone plates.

    1. PROPOSED NEW INDICATIONS FOR USE:
      In the past several years there has been extensive work published on the use of bone filling, grafting and Many of these augmentation materials and techniques. procedures, generally referred to as "Guide Bone Regeneration" (GBR), have been used in conjunction with dental restorative procedures using endosseous dental implants. It is not an uncommon practice for a clinician to develop a ridge of sufficient height and width (GBR), in those patients who otherwise may be contraindicated for dental implant treatment, due to a lack of adequate bone. GBR is also common treatment for repairing bony defects and to fill the sockets in and around implants placed in fresh extraction sites. In nearly all of these procedures, it is necessary to guide the bone regenerative process by providing an adequate, "regenerative space with a stable osseous base, free of connective tissue and epithelial cells and a blood supply emanating exclusively from the bony base" *(1). This "regenerative space", is commonly constructed of components of one or more of the various bone plate and screw systems currently available, including the 3i Osseous Fixation System. Incorporated with the "regenerative space" framework is an firmly attached occlusive, biologically inert, non-resorbable membrane, used to protect the GBR site from soft (epithelial) tissue and bacteria invasion. With the use of unattached, unsecured membranes, micro-movement can cause scar tissue formation under the membrane, instead of bone. Also soft tissue (epithelial) and bacteria may invade the GBR site from around the margins of the unsecured membrane *(1). Therefore, it has become standard practice to use bone
      plates/screws, tacks or other forms of fixation to attach // 7,1

Due to widespread, clinically accepted GBR procedures using lamellar bone, various bone grafting/augmentation

    1. CONTRAINDICATIONS:
      3i's Bone Screw and plate systems are contraindicated in cases of patient sensitivity to Cobalt, Chromium or Molybdenum; or when a patient is not indicated for GBR treatment as determined by the treating clinician.
  • For safe and effective use of 3i implants and 10. WARNINGS: bone plate and screw systems in GBR procedures, it is strongly suggested that specialized training be undertaken since the surgical techniques required to create the "regenerative space" and membrane fixation and/or to surgically place dental implants are highly specialized and complex procedures. Improper patient selection and technique can cause fixture failure and/or loss of supporting bone.

    1. PRECAUTIONS: Thorough screening of prospective surgical/ implant candidates must be performed. Visual inspection 007 as well as panoramic and pariapical radiographs are essential to determine anatomical landmarks, occlusal conditions, pariodontal status, and adequacy of bone. Lateral cephalometric radiographs, CT Scans, and tomograms may also be beneficial.
    1. ADVERSE EFFECTS: Loss of the "regenerative framework" and/ or implant anchorage (failure to osseointegrate) and loss of the prosthesis are possible occurrences after surgery. Lack of quantity or quality of remaining bone, infection, poor patient oral hygiene or cooperation, and

3

generalized diseases (diabetes, etc.) are some potential causes for loss of fixture anchorage.

  • The surgical procedure has 13. SURGICAL COMPLICATIONS: risks, including localized swelling, dehiscence, tenderness of short duration, edema, hematoma, or bleeding. Numbness of the lower lip and chin region breeding. Namble jaw surgery, and of the tissue beside the nose following upper jaw surgery, is a possible side nose forlowing upper jan ourgery. Though it would most probably be of a temporary nature, in very rare cases numbness has been permanent. Gingival/Mucosal (gum tissue) ulceration, tissue reaction, or infection may occur, but generally responds to local care.

  1. 510(k) CERTIFICATION AND SUMMARY FOR SUBMISSION:

Anya

I certify that I have conducted a reasonable search of all information known or otherwise available to me about the types and causes of safety and/or effectiveness problems that have been reported for Endosseous Dental Implant systems.

Bone plate and screw:

Infection, caused by improper surgical technique, including mucosal damage during surgery and improper mucosal closure; Exposure or prominence of hardware, caused by the use of designs that are too thick for the soft tissue, particularly in the supraorbital, frontal and naso-orbital-ethnoid locations (prominence in these regions can be reduced by the use of micro-fixation devices); Possible alteration in the growth patterns of the craniomaxillofacial skeleton due to rigid fixation

4

during skeletal development (preliminary evidence from animal studies; Breakage of screwdrivers during maxillofacial surgery, possibly resulting in retention of the screwdriver tip in the screw.

Endosseous Dental Implants:

Failure of the implant to osseointegrate or loss of osseointegration can be caused by improper patient selection (patients with systemic diseases which affect bone physiology, patients with habits such as bruxing or clenching, patients who are physically or psychologically unable to carry out proper implant hygiene, heavy smoking or alcohol use), by improper surgical technique (overheating of bone) or improper case planning or restorative technique (over-loading of implants through improper placement, use of an insufficient number of Improper implant implants or excessive cantilever). processing by the manufacturer or improper handling by the customer, resulting in contamination, can also effect osseointegration.

Fracture of implants can occur, particularly in implants with apical cross-holes. Fracture occurs either on insertion of screw-type implants due to excessive torque (improper surgical technique such as an error in drill selection) or in service due to loss of bone.

Fracture of abutments and abutment screws occurs in implant systems and is usually attributed to factors within the control of the implant team, such as lack of passive fit of the restoration or excessive cantilever, or within the control of the patient, such as bruxing.

Other types of safety and efficacy problems which have been observed for endosseous dental implant systems are local soft tissue degeneration and bone resorption, paresthesia, perforation of the maxillary sinus, perforation of labial and lingual plates, local and systemic infection, prosthetic framework fracture, nerve injury, bone fracture, injury to adjacent teeth and their supporting bone, oroantral or oronasal fistula, gingival
hyperplasia, soft tissue overgrowth, perforation of the ,
gingiva by the healing screw, mucosal abscess, displacement of the implant into the mandibular canal, hemorrhage of the floor of the mouth due to transection of the sublingual artery and breakage of drill tip, requiring surgical removal.
