The intended use for Steri-Oss' tiodized® screws is the screw retained attachment of prosthetic components to one another and to dental implants.
Attachment of prosthetic components to one another and to implants can be achieved with screw fasteming systems. The attachment is secured by the application of torque to the screw. Screws used to fasten the prosthetic components can sometimes loosen. The greater the preload that is applied. the less chance there is that the screw will eventually become loose. Titanium screws that have been "tiodized" can be preloaded to a much greater torque than untreated prosthetic component screws and thus are less likely to loosen. Tiodized® screws are manufactured in diameters (across the head) ranging from 0.086 to 0.106 inches and lengths ranging from 0.160 to 0.576 inches and are composed of titanium alloy that has been subjected to a proprietary anodization process. The screws are slotted or are internally or externally hexed for acceptance of driving tools such as screw drivers, hex drivers and wrenches. Tiodized screws are provided sterile, and are packaged either individually or in sets of up to 6 screws. Tiodized® screws may also be packaged with dental implants or dental implant prosthetic components.
The provided text does not contain information about acceptance criteria and a study proving a device meets those criteria. The document is a 510(k) summary for a "Tiodized® Screw," and it focuses on device description, intended use, and comparison to a predicate device for demonstrating substantial equivalence.
Specifically, the "Performance Data" section explicitly states "Not applicable." This indicates that the submission does not include preclinical or clinical performance data, acceptance criteria, or a study to demonstrate performance against such criteria.
Therefore, I cannot provide the requested information.
§ 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.
