Intended Use

The LOCATOR® RTx Attachment System is designed for use with overdentures or partial dentures, retained in whole or in part, by endosseous implants in the mandible or maxilla.

Device Story

LOCATOR RTx is a dental implant attachment system consisting of titanium alloy abutments, nylon or PEEK liners, and denture caps. It functions as a resilient attachment for endosseous implants. The abutment connects to the implant via a threaded apical end; the coronal end features a double-ridge design for retention. It accommodates implant path divergence up to 30°. Used in dental clinics by dentists to secure overdentures or partial dentures. The device provides a mechanical connection between the implant and the prosthesis, improving denture stability and patient comfort. Abutments are available in various cuff heights and diameters to match specific implant systems.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Testing included sterilization validation (ISO 17665-1/2), biocompatibility (ISO 10993-1, -5, -10), and characterization of the TiCN coating.

Technological Characteristics

Materials: Ti-6Al-4V ELI titanium alloy abutments with TiCN or TiN coating; nylon or PEEK retention liners. Design: Coronal double-ridge retention; threaded apical connection. Dimensions: 3.0-7.0 mm diameter; 1-6 mm cuff heights. Sterilization: Moist heat. Connectivity: None (mechanical).

Indications for Use

Indicated for patients requiring overdentures or partial dentures retained by endosseous implants in the mandible or maxilla.

Regulatory Classification

Identification

All LOCATOR RTx abutments are made of titanium alloy and have the same coronal double ridge retention design that attaches to the overdenture component. The threaded apical end of the abutment connects to the implant and is specific to each compatible implant system and diameter. LOCATOR RTx is designed to accommodate a path of insertion on implants that are divergent up to 30° unless prohibited by the implant manufacturer. LOCATOR RTx abutments are provided with either TiCN or TiN coating and are available in six cuff heights (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 mm). They are provided in diameters 3.0 - 7.0 mm as shown in the compatibility table above. # PERFORMANCE DATA Performance testing to demonstrate substantial equivalence included methods described in the following standards: ISO 17665-1 Sterilization of health care products - Moist heat - Part 1: Requirements for the development, validation, and routine control of a sterilization process for medical devices; ISO 17665-2 Sterilization of health care products - Moist heat - Part 2: Guidance on the application of ISO 17665-1; ISO 10993-1 Biological evaluation of medical devices - Part 1: Evaluation and testing within a risk management process; ISO 10993-5 Biological Evaluation of Medical Devices – Part 5: Tests for In Vitro Cytotoxicity; and {5}------------------------------------------------ ISO 10993-10 Biological evaluation of medical devices - Part 10: Tests for irritation and skin sensitization. Non-clinical testing data submitted, referenced, or relied upon to demonstrate substantial equivalence included: sterilization testing, biocompatibility testing of the TiCN coating, and characterization testing of the TiCN coating. The performance data included in this submission demonstrate substantial equivalence to the predicate devices listed below. # EQUIVALENCE TO MARKETED DEVICE LOCATOR RTx is substantially equivalent to LOCATOR in that it uses the identical interface for compatible implant systems and it is a nylon or PEEK liner overdenture system with varying cuff heights.

The subject device has the same divergence allowance as the reference device. The subject device has a resilient overdenture prosthesis attachment and the reference device is for a screw-retained prosthesis. # CONCLUSION The data included in this submission demonstrate substantial equivalence to the predicate devices listed above. Overall, the subject device has the following similarities to the predicate devices: - has the same intended use, ● - uses the same operating principle, - incorporates the same basic design, - incorporates the same or very similar materials, and - has similar packaging and is sterilized using the same processes.
