    Device Description

    This premarket notification includes the following additions to the Neodent Implant System: NeoConvert Solution, Direct Screw to MUA, GM Attachment TiN 30°. The Neodent Multi-Unit Abutments proposed on this submission are similar to devices already cleared in previous submissions of Neodent Implant System, according to predicate devices described above. This submission intends to expand the portfolio of Neodent Abutments with these new solutions for multi-unit restorations, to provide more treatment options to customers. The NeoConvert Solution is a technique comprised by some abutments (not subject of this submission) used for converting removable temporary prosthesis into a screw-retained fixed temporary prosthesis. The Direct Screw to MUA is a prosthetic component designed to fix planned and digitally designed multi-unit milled restorations directly onto mini or micro abutments, eliminating the need for using the passive seating cylinder to restore chewing function. The GM Attachment TiN 30° is a prosthetic component used to stabilize implant-mucosa-supported removable full prosthesis (retained on the implant and supported on the mucosa), on implants installed in the maxilla or mandible. Although all these three new solutions are compatible with the same implants and components of Neodent Implant System and used for multiple unit rehabilitation, they are not used in conjunction with each other.

    AI/ML Overview

    The provided text describes a 510(k) premarket notification for the "Neodent Implant System," focusing on the NeoConvert Solution, Direct Screw to MUA, and GM Attachment TiN 30°. This document details the device's technical characteristics, intended use, and its substantial equivalence to previously cleared predicate devices.

    However, the provided text does not contain information about acceptance criteria and a study proving a device meets those criteria in the context of an AI/ML medical device submission. The document is a traditional 510(k) submission for dental implants and abutments, which are physical medical devices, not AI/ML software. Therefore, the specific requirements for an AI/ML device study (such as sample sizes for test and training sets, expert qualifications for ground truth, MRMC studies, or standalone performance) are not applicable or present in this document.

    The "Performance Testing" section (pages 15-16) describes bench testing (dynamic fatigue, torsion, SEM images), MRI compatibility testing, biocompatibility testing, sterilization validation, and shelf-life testing for the physical dental implant components. These are standard performance tests for this type of physical device, not AI/ML algorithm validation.

    Therefore, I cannot provide a table of acceptance criteria and a study proving the device meets acceptance criteria as typically outlined for an AI/ML medical device, as this information is not present in the provided document. The document focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence of a physical dental device to predicate devices through engineering and material testing.

    AI/ML Overview

    The provided document is a 510(k) Summary for a dental implant system. It outlines the device description, intended use, and a comparison to predicate and reference devices to demonstrate substantial equivalence. Crucially, this document does not contain information about acceptance criteria or a study proving the device meets specific acceptance criteria in the context of AI/ML-based medical devices.

    The "Performance Data" section explicitly states: "No clinical data were included in this submission." Instead, it lists non-clinical data for physical and material properties of the dental implants, such as sterilization validation, shelf life testing, biocompatibility, and mechanical performance (fatigue and torsional loading).

    Therefore, I cannot provide the requested information regarding acceptance criteria, study details, sample sizes, expert involvement, ground truth establishment, or MRMC comparative effectiveness studies, as these types of studies are not described in this 510(k) submission for a traditional medical device (dental implants), which are not a software device or AI/ML-based device.

    If you are looking for information on acceptance criteria and study data for AI/ML-based medical devices, you would need to consult a different type of FDA submission, specifically for software as a medical device (SaMD) or AI-enabled medical devices, where such performance data would be critical for demonstrating safety and effectiveness.

    AI/ML Overview

    The provided 510(k) summary for the Straumann® BLX Line Extension - New Abutments is a pre-market notification to the FDA. This type of submission focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to existing legally marketed devices, rather than proving the device meets acceptance criteria through a traditional clinical study with defined performance targets.

    Instead of "acceptance criteria," the focus here is on bench testing performance demonstrating fundamental material and structural integrity compared to predicate devices, and lack of significant differences in technological characteristics and indications for use.

    Therefore, the requested information elements related to clinical studies, test sets, ground truth, and expert adjudication are not applicable in the context of this 510(k) summary, as no device-specific clinical data has been submitted to demonstrate substantial equivalence. The submission relies on performance data from bench testing and biocompatibility assessments to support the claim of substantial equivalence.

    Here's the information that can be extracted from the provided text, re-interpreting "acceptance criteria" as the comparable characteristics to predicate devices and "reported device performance" as the results of the bench and biocompatibility tests.


    Acceptance Criteria and Study Details for Straumann® BLX Line Extension - New Abutments

    As this is a 510(k) submission primarily relying on substantial equivalence to predicate devices, the concept of "acceptance criteria" is less about meeting specific numerical performance targets in a clinical setting and more about demonstrating that the new devices do not raise new questions of safety or effectiveness. The study supporting this is primarily bench testing and biocompatibility assessments, rather than a clinical trial.

    1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance

    The "acceptance criteria" for a 510(k) are implicitly that the new device's technological characteristics and performance are substantially equivalent to a predicate device, without raising new questions of safety or effectiveness. The "reported device performance" refers to the results of the bench tests and sterility/biocompatibility validations.
