Indications for Use
SIMPLANT is intended for use as a software interface and image segmentation system for the transfer of imaging information from a medical scanner such as a CT scanner. It is also intended as pre-planning software for dental implant placement and surgical treatment.
Device Story
SIMPLANT 18 is stand-alone software for pre-operative dental implant planning. It ingests patient image data (CT/CBCT), patient information, and implant data to create a project file. Dental professionals use the software to visualize 2D/3D images, perform segmentations, measure distances/angles/densities, and plan implant positions. Features include dual scan and optical scan registration, nerve tracing, and an implant library. The software facilitates the design of surgical guides, which can be ordered via the mySIMPLANT web portal. It assists clinicians in evaluating treatment options and determining optimal implant placement, potentially improving surgical outcomes. The software is used in clinical settings by trained professionals; it does not contact the patient.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. No clinical data. Software verification and validation included peer code review, integration testing, internal release testing, smoke testing, formal system testing, acceptance testing, and beta testing to confirm design inputs and performance requirements were met.
Technological Characteristics
Stand-alone medical device software; C++ programming language; Windows OS; delivered via file download. Features: 2D/3D visualization, segmentation wizard, measurement tools (distance, angle, density), nerve tracing, and implant library. Connectivity: automatic transfer to mySIMPLANT.com for surgical guide ordering. Software lifecycle processes follow IEC 62304.
Indications for Use
Indicated for dental professionals performing pre-operative planning for dental implant placement and surgical treatment using imaging data from medical scanners (e.g., CT).

- 4. Description of Device:
The proposed device SIMPLANT 18 is stand-alone software intended for pre-operative planning of dental implant placement and surgical treatment options, without patient contact.
A SIMPLANT project file is created from patient image data, patient information, and implants data which are aggregated together. The SIMPLANT project file is the basis for continued implant surgical planning by dental professionals.
The dental plan, which is the result of the dental implant planning process, can be used for manufacturing of a surgical guide or for evaluation of treatment options during the implant surgery procedure.
The purpose of this premarket notification is to gain clearance for new features implemented in the latest software version, clarification of the indications for use, as well as to document iterative changes to the software that have been implemented since the original clearance under K0110300.

## Analysis of differences:
The indications for use statement has been clarified to remove the example related to image import from a magnetic resonance scanner as it is not possible to import data from magnetic resonance scanning equipment into the subject SIMPLANT software.
Functionality changes are implemented to improve usability:
- Scan registration is expanded to allow for soft tissue creation and for import of 3D model scans to help the user when determining the ideal implant position. The improved Virtual teeth function offers more options and flexibility to shape and position the virtual teeth. The additional "multiple implant movement" function makes it easier for a user to simultaneously alter the positions of more than one implant relative to the bone, thereby maintaining their initial positions relative to one another.
- । In the predicate device, the complete Implant library had to be downloaded for each library update. In the proposed device, a partial upload is possible, and as such, reduces the download time for the user.
- । The new feature "Immediate Smile featuring Atlantis abutments" makes it easier for the user to see which implants are compatible with customized ATLANTIS Abutments. Also, the design of this abutment can be imported and made visible in the planning file of the proposed SIMPLANT 18.
The "Occlusion tool", "Virtual occludator" and "Soft tissue simulation" functions have been removed from the software's functionality.
{7}------------------------------------------------
The website for ordering patient specific surgical guides has changed. Consequently, the proposed SIMPLANT 18 directs the user automatically to the new mySIMPLANT web page instead of to the former Online Shop for ordering the guide.
The media for delivery of the proposed device has been changed. The original software was delivered on DVD, whereas the proposed device is delivered via file download for installation.
## Summary of Software testing:
Software verification and validation was conducted to ensure the functionality and have been included to support the substantial equivalence of the subject SIMPLANT 18 software.
In principle, the software testing has consisted of testing of the software functionality containing the changes introduced since the approved predicate device SimPlant 2011 (K110300). . Software testing has been conducted in accordance with the software life cycle processes, as defined in IEC 62304.
The verification and validation testing has consisted of the following activities:
- Peer Code Review .
- Integration test .
- Internal release test .
- Smoke test •
- Formal system test ●
- Acceptance test .
- Beta test .
The results of verification and validation confirm that all user needs and performance requirements according to the design inputs are fulfilled.
#### 7. Conclusion Regarding Substantial Equivalence:
The proposed SIMPLANT 18 is software intended for use as a software interface and image segmentation system for the transfer of imaging information from a medical scanner such as a CT scanner. It is also intended as pre-planning software for dental implant placement and surgical treatment.
The proposed SIMPLANT 18 software, which is the subject of this premarket notification, has the same intended use and similar indications for use, incorporates the same technological characteristics and principles of operation as the predicate SimPlant 2011 (K110300) device. SIMPLANT 18 is tested and validated in the same way as the predicate SimPlant 2011 (K110300) device. Test data to verify the performance of the proposed SIMPLANT 18 have been included and the results of this testing confirmed the functionality and support the substantial equivalence of the proposed device SIMPLANT 18.
