ANKYLOS® Balance Abutment, K041509 | DEVICE DESCRIPTION: The ANKYLOS® Temporary Abutment Balance is part of the ANKYLOS® Dental Implant System. The temporary abutment is available in the sizes "small" (D5.5) and "large" (D7) and with the gingival margins of 1.5 and 3. The ANKYLOS® Temporary Abutment Balance can be used in straight and angled implant positions. ### INTENDED USE: The ANKYLOS® Temporary Abutment Balance is an anatomical abutment indicated for the fabrication of provisional crowns or bridges over max. 2 bridge pontics. The ANKYLOS® Temporary Abutment Balance is a short-term provisional for esthetic soft-tissue contouring. TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS: All of the components found in the ANK YLOS® Temporary Abutment Balance have been used in legally marketed devices and/or were found safe for dental use. The ANK YLOS® Temporary Abutment Balance is made of plastic material. which has been evaluated and passed biocompatibility testing for cytotoxicity. The materials used for the ANKYLOS® Temporary Abutment Balance as well as the manufacturing methods are identical to legally marketed devices. Therefore it was determined that no additional biocompatibility testing for the final product was necessary. We believe that the prior use of the components of the ANKYLOS® Temporary Abutment Balance in legally marketed devices, the performance data provided, and the previous biocompatibility tests support the safety and effectiveness of the ANKYLOS® Temporary Abutment Balance for the indicated uses. {1}------------------------------------------------ KC730173 ### TRUTHFUL AND ACCURATE STATEMENT (As Required by 21 CFR 807.87(k)) . . . . . . . .

You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Eederal Register. {3}------------------------------------------------ Page 2 - Ms. Lewis Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies.
