No
The device description and intended use describe a purely mechanical tool for visual reference and measurement, with no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing.
No
The device is described as a visual reference tool for surgical evaluation and fit, not as something that directly treats or prevents a disease or condition.
No
This device is designed to "provide a visual reference for evaluating parallelism, prosthetic fit and implant spacing" during surgery, which is a measurement and alignment tool, not a device that diagnoses a medical condition or disease.
No
The device description explicitly states it "consists of two pivoting pegs that lock in orientations," indicating a physical, hardware-based device.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVDs are used to examine specimens from the human body. The intended use and device description clearly state that the Variable Parallel Pin is used during implant placement surgery to evaluate parallelism, prosthetic fit, and implant spacing in the mouth. It does not involve testing samples like blood, urine, or tissue outside of the body.
- The function is mechanical and visual. The device is a physical tool with pivoting pegs and cuff width geometries. Its purpose is to provide a visual reference and gauge measurements directly in the surgical field. It does not perform any diagnostic tests on biological samples.
The device is a surgical tool used for guidance and measurement during a procedure, not for diagnosing a condition or disease by testing samples.

Intended Use / Indications for Use
The Variable Parallel Pin is intended to provide a visual reference for evaluating parallelism, prosthetic fit and implant spacing between implants and natural teeth during implant placement surgery.
The Variable Parallel Pin is indicated for use in evaluating parallelism and fit of the many implant maning and fit of prosthetics with up to 25 degrees and to gadge implaire opensy lants and adjacent natural teeth.

§ 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.
