K131557 is an FDA 510(k) clearance for the RITTER IMPLANT SYSTEM. Classified as Implant, Endosseous, Root-form (product code DZE), Class II - Special Controls.

Submitted by Ritter Implants GmbH CO KG (Monroe, US). The FDA issued a Cleared decision on May 9, 2014 after a review of 345 days - an unusually long review period, suggesting complex equivalence evaluation.

This device falls under the Dental FDA review panel, regulated under 21 CFR 872.3640 - the FDA dental device regulatory framework. The Traditional 510(k) pathway establishes clearance through substantial equivalence to a legally marketed predicate device, without requiring clinical trial data.

Device pattern: Standard predicate-based submission. Elevated predicate reliance profile. This clearance follows a standard predicate-based equivalence path within the Dental review framework, consistent with the majority of Class II 510(k) submissions.
