No
The summary describes a mechanical abutment system for dentures and makes no mention of AI or ML.

Yes
The device is described as a restorative prosthesis intended to provide a direct attachment for tissue-supported overdentures, which is a therapeutic function.

No

The device is described as a restorative prosthesis for attaching overdentures to implants, and its intended use and description focus on this mechanical function, not on diagnosing medical conditions.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "restorative prosthesis" and describes physical components ("one-piece or a two-piece"). 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 clearly states that the device is a "restorative prosthesis" intended to provide a "direct attachment for tissue-supported overdentures retained by two or more implants." This describes a device used in vivo (within the body) for a structural and restorative purpose.
  • Device Description: The description reinforces this by calling it a "restorative prosthesis."
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue samples, etc.) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment.

IVD devices are used to perform tests outside the body on biological samples. This device is used inside the body to support a dental prosthesis.

Summary of Performance Studies

The O-Ring Abutment System has been evaluated in laboratory conditions and by consulting implantologists and oral and maxillofacial surgeons and has been found to provide a direct attachment for tissue-supported overdentures retained by two or more implants with up to a 10-degree divergence, as noted in the intended use statement.

These evaluations indicate that the O-Ring Abutment System should be safe and effective when used as intended.

§ 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.
