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.

Device Classification Regulation Number: 21 CFR 872.3640 and 21 CFR 872.3630
Device Regulatory Status: Class II Special Controls
Trade Name: Endosseous Dental Implant
Purpose: The purpose of this 510(k) is to include additional implants and accessories in the NSI Endosseous Implant System that did not fall within the size range and design shapes identified in prior 510(k) submissions.

Device Description and Intended Use: The NSI Implant System is intended to be implanted in the upper or lower jaw arches to provide support for fixed or removable dental prostheses in a single tooth, partially edentulous prostheses, or full arch prostheses. It further adds the option for immediate loading on single and splinted multiple unit restorations when good primary stability is achieved and with appropriate occlusal loading, to restore chewing function.
Sterilization Methods Used: Sterilization of these implants will be achieved using Co60 irradiation, with a minimum dose of 25.0 kGy (2.5 m rads), creating a Sterility Assurance Level of 10 . Validation of sterilization will be done as specified by the Association for the Advancement of Medical Instrumentation (AAMI). Standards utilized include:
| ISO 11137 | Sterilization of Health Care Products – Requirements for validation and routine control –<br>Radiation sterilization |
|-------------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| ISO 11737-2 | Sterilization of Medical Devices – Microbial Methods – Part 2: Tests of sterility<br>performed in the validation of a sterilization process |
| ISO 13409 | Sterilization of Health Care Products – Radiation Sterilization – substantiation of 25kGy as<br>a sterilization dose for small or infrequent production batches. |
{1}------------------------------------------------
Packaging Method: Please note that our implants are packaged the same as our existing line of dental i ackaging Method: "Ticase note non-hexed Implant Systems noted above as predicate devices. Implants are placed into plastic tubing (PT6.1) and capped on both ends. The plastic tube is then heals and in a blister pack consisting of a transparent film (P.E.T.) and a porous sheet material backing (Tyvek1073B). m a blister pack is considered the primary pack (that which provides the microbial barrier) for the implants. The Tyvek is coated with an adhesive. A sterilization indicator sticker is placed on the blister packaging. The blisher with its contents are then enclosed in a clear plastic box and sent for sterilization.

Technological Characteristics: The physical properties and designs of the additional implants and accessories in the NSI Endosseous Dental Implant System were compared with legally marketed predicate devices. The technological characteristics were comparable.
Surface Modifications: Please note that this is the same surface medification method currently used with our existing line of dental implants that are cleared NSI hexed and non-hexed Implant Systems noted above as predicate devices. The surface of our implant is blasted using 100 micron alumina (AL203) particles. Alumina is a highly biocompatible material and hence if any particles remain embedded in the surface, they will not pose a complication. The other measure taken to reduce the potential of embeddiment is to blast with relatively low pressure. If the indentations caused are significantly smaller than the size of the blast media, then particles tend to not adhere to the surface. (Our S = 1.43 microns is a fraction of the particle size of 110 microns).Each and every implant is visually inspected under a microscope after surface enhancement as a matter of manufacturing protocol. In addition to visual inspection, a sample implant is sent for SEM testing four times a year for evaluation of the surface as well.
Brief Discussion of Clinical Studies: Clinical studies were not conducted, or deemed necessary, for the purpose of this 510(k) submission.
Conclusions Drawn: The NSI Endosseous Dental Implant System has the same intended use as, and technological characteristics similar to, the legally marketed predicate devices. Any differences in the technological characteristics did not raise new issues of safety or effectiveness.
