Intended Use
The Nobelpharma BRÅNEMARK SYSTEM - MK II Self-Tapping Fixtures are intended to be used in edentulous and partially edentulous patients to restore chewing functions.
Device Description
The Nobelpharma BRÅNEMARK SYSTEM - Mk II Self-Tapping Fixture is a line of endosseous implants, varying in diameter, which are implanted in the upper and lower jaw bone to be used to support prosthetic devices to help restore chewing functions of edentulous patients. The device has been cleared for sizes 3.75, 4.0, 4.4, 5.0 and 5.5mm diameters. The only modification is to the 5.0 and 5.5mm diameter fixtures. This modification of the 5.0mm and 5.5mm diameter fixtures entails 1) an increased internal thread diameter for insertion of appropriate abutment screws and 2) an increased hexagonal dimension for the hex portion of the fixture to facilitate accurate seating of appropriate abutments. An additional minor modification to the flange (a 0.4mm increase of diameter) and to the apex (a 0.3mm increase in diameter) is being made to the 5.5mm fixture to accommodate the surgical and prosthetic components of the system.

No
The summary describes a physical medical device (dental implants) and does not mention any software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate the use of AI or ML.

Yes
The device is intended to restore chewing functions in edentulous and partially edentulous patients, which is a therapeutic purpose.

No
The device, an endosseous implant, is used to restore chewing functions by supporting prosthetic devices, not to diagnose a condition.

No

The device description clearly states it is a line of endosseous implants, which are physical hardware components implanted in the jaw bone. There is no mention of software as the primary or sole component.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to restore chewing functions in patients by supporting prosthetic devices in the jaw bone. This is a direct therapeutic and restorative function within the human body.
  • Device Description: The device is an endosseous implant designed to be surgically placed in the jaw bone. This is an invasive medical device, not a device used to examine specimens from the human body.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to test or analyze samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.) from the human body to provide information about a physiological state, health, disease, or congenital abnormality.

IVD devices are used outside the body to analyze specimens. This device is used inside the body for a structural and functional purpose.

§ 872.3640 Endosseous dental implant.

(a)
Identification. An endosseous dental implant is a prescription device made of a material such as titanium or titanium alloy that 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 a patient's chewing function.(b)
Classification. (1) Class II (special controls). The device is classified as class II if it is a root-form endosseous dental implant. The root-form endosseous dental implant is characterized by four geometrically distinct types: Basket, screw, solid cylinder, and hollow cylinder. The guidance document entitled “Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Root-Form Endosseous Dental Implants and Endosseous Dental Implant Abutments” will serve as the special control. (See § 872.1(e) for the availability of this guidance document.)(2)
Classification. Class II (special controls). The device is classified as class II if it is a blade-form endosseous dental implant. The special controls for this device are:(i) The design characteristics of the device must ensure that the geometry and material composition are consistent with the intended use;
(ii) Mechanical performance (fatigue) testing under simulated physiological conditions to demonstrate maximum load (endurance limit) when the device is subjected to compressive and shear loads;
(iii) Corrosion testing under simulated physiological conditions to demonstrate corrosion potential of each metal or alloy, couple potential for an assembled dissimilar metal implant system, and corrosion rate for an assembled dissimilar metal implant system;
(iv) The device must be demonstrated to be biocompatible;
(v) Sterility testing must demonstrate the sterility of the device;
(vi) Performance testing to evaluate the compatibility of the device in a magnetic resonance (MR) environment;
(vii) Labeling must include a clear description of the technological features, how the device should be used in patients, detailed surgical protocol and restoration procedures, relevant precautions and warnings based on the clinical use of the device, and qualifications and training requirements for device users including technicians and clinicians;
(viii) Patient labeling must contain a description of how the device works, how the device is placed, how the patient needs to care for the implant, possible adverse events and how to report any complications; and
(ix) Documented clinical experience must demonstrate safe and effective use and capture any adverse events observed during clinical use.

F. Comparison of Technological Characteristics

The technological characteristics between the previously cleared 5.0 and 5.5mm diameter Mk II fixtures are identical. The material used in both devices is the same as is the general shape and structure. The only changes for both the 5.0 and 5.5mm diameter fixtures are minor dimensional changes to accommodate placement of the appropriate abutment screws and abutments.
