The Sterngold ImplaMed Implant System can be used in dental implant applications for oral rehabilitation of endentulous and partially dentate patients in the maxillae and mandible. Implant retained restoration may consist of single crowns or bridges as well as complete or partial dentures.
Sterngold Impla Med Hex Screw Implant, TPS and HA Coated.
I apologize, but the provided text from the FDA 510(k) communication for the Sterngold ImplaMed Hex Screw Implant does not contain the detailed information necessary to answer your request regarding acceptance criteria and a study proving device performance as outlined in your nine numbered points.
The document is a letter from the FDA confirming substantial equivalence for the device. It focuses on regulatory approval rather than a detailed report of performance testing or clinical studies.
Therefore, I cannot extract:
- A table of acceptance criteria and reported device performance.
- Sample sizes or data provenance for a test set.
- Number or qualifications of experts for ground truth.
- Adjudication method for a test set.
- MRMC comparative effectiveness study details.
- Standalone performance study details.
- Type of ground truth used.
- Sample size for the training set.
- How ground truth for the training set was established.
This type of information would typically be found in the 510(k) submission itself (which is not provided) or in a separate study report, not in the FDA's clearance letter.
§ 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.
