Intended Use
The Amorphous Diamond Coated Screw is used to retain prosthetic components to dental implants or to other prosthetic components. The amorphous diamond coating will add a greater pre-load to the screw, which in turn help prevent the screw and prosthetic components from loosening.
Device Description
Device Function: The Amorphous Diamond Coated Screw is designed to fasten prosthetic components to implants and/or other prosthetic components. The attachment is secured by applying torque to the screw. Scientific Concepts: Screws used to fasten prosthetic components can some times loosen. The greater the preload that is applied, the less chance there is that the screw will eventually become loose. Titanium screws with an amorphous diamond coating applied to the working length of the screw underneath the head, can be preloaded to a much greater torque than uncoated screws and thus are less likely to loosen. Characteristics: The Amorphous Diamond Coated Screw is constructed of titanium alloy with an amorphous diamond coating applied to the working length of the screw underneath the head.

The summary describes a mechanical device (a screw) with a specific coating to improve its performance. There is no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate the use of AI or ML.

No
The device is a screw used to fasten prosthetic dental components, not to treat a disease or condition.

No

The device is a screw designed to fasten prosthetic components, not to diagnose medical conditions or provide diagnostic information.

No

The device description clearly states it is a physical screw made of titanium alloy with an amorphous diamond coating, which is a hardware 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 retain prosthetic components to dental implants or other prosthetic components. This is a mechanical function within the body.
  • Device Description: The description focuses on the physical properties and function of the screw for fastening.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Purpose: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens from the human body to provide information for the diagnosis, prevention, or treatment of disease or impairment.

IVD devices are used to perform tests on samples like blood, urine, or tissue to detect diseases, conditions, or infections. This device is a physical component used in dental restoration.

§ 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.
