Indications for Use

The T-FIT is designed to provide a fixed anchorage point for attaching orthodontic appliances, facilitating the orthodontic movement of teeth. It is used temporarily and removed upon completion of the orthodontic treatment for use in patients aged 12 and older. The screws are intended for single use only.

Device Story

T-FIT is an orthodontic anchorage screw system used to provide a fixed point for attaching orthodontic appliances. The device is inserted into the jaw by an orthodontist to assist in tooth movement and prevent unwanted tooth displacement. It is intended for temporary use and is removed upon completion of treatment. The system consists of titanium alloy screws available in various diameters and lengths. It is used in a clinical setting, with the healthcare provider selecting the appropriate screw size based on the patient's anatomical needs. The device is provided non-sterile and requires steam sterilization by the user prior to surgical insertion. By providing stable anchorage, the device enables precise orthodontic tooth movement, potentially reducing treatment duration and improving clinical outcomes.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical data provided. Substantial equivalence is supported by bench testing, including mechanical testing (torsion, torque, pull-out) per ISO 19023 and ASTM F543, biocompatibility evaluation per ISO 10993-1, and sterilization validation per ISO 17665.

Technological Characteristics

Material: Ti-6Al-4V ELI titanium alloy (ASTM F 136-13). Form: Orthodontic anchorage screw. Diameters: 1.4mm, 1.6mm, 1.8mm, 2.0mm. Lengths: 6.0mm to 14.0mm. Sterilization: Non-sterile, steam sterilized by user. Biocompatibility: ISO 10993-1 compliant.

Indications for Use

Indicated for patients aged 12 and older requiring temporary orthodontic anchorage to facilitate tooth movement.

Regulatory Classification

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.

Special Controls

*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.

The information provided in these 510(k) submissions demonstrates that the T-FIT is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices in terms of indications for use, function, and performance related to technological characteristics. The predicate device is made of the same material as the subject device, Ti-6Al-4V ELI titanium alloy (ASTM F 136-13). The differences between the subject and predicate devices are not expected to affect the overall performance of the device. There are slight differences in the diameter, length, and head shape of the design between the subject and predicate devices. However, the screw diameter and length range of the subject device fall within the range of the predicate devices, and the differences in head design are minor and do not introduce significant differences in design. The technological differences between the subject device and predicate device do not raise questions of safety or effectiveness, and substantial equivalence is {8}------------------------------------------------ TECHWIN Co., Ltd.

These standards were referenced from K161335. A non-clinical worst-case MRI review was performed to evaluate the subject device components in the MRI environment using scientific rationale and published literature (e.g., Woods, Terry O., Jana G. Delfino, and Sunder Rajan. "Assessment of Magnetically Induced Displacement Force and Torque on Metal Alloys Used in Medical Devices." Journal of Testing and Evaluation 49.2 (2019): 783-795), based on the entire system including all variations and material composition. The rationale addresses recommended parameters for MR Conditional devices according to the FDA guidance "Testing and Labeling Medical Devices for Safety in the Magnetic Resonance (MR) Environment", including magnetically induced displacement force and torque. #### X. CLINICAL TESTS No clinical performance data were provided to demonstrate substantial equivalence. ## XI. CONCLUSIONS The T-FIT has been compared to the predicate device with regard to substantial equivalence. The information provided in this premarket notification demonstrates that the subject device is determined to be substantially equivalent (SE) to the predicate device.
