WMT Composite DBM resultant paste is intended for use as a bone graft substitute to be injected or digitally packed into open bone voids/gaps that are not intrinsic to the stability of bony structure of the skeletal system (i.e., the extremities and pelvis) to cure in-situ. These open bone voids may be surgically created osseous defects or osseous defects created from traumatic injury to the bone. The paste provides a bone graft substitute that resorbs and is replaced with bone during the healing process. The WMT Composite DBM paste cured in situ provides an open void/gap filler that can augment provisional hardware (e.g. K-Wires) to help support bone fragments during the surgical procedure. The cured paste acts only as a temporary support media and is not intended to provide structural support during the healing process. The WMT Composite DBM Core Decompression Procedure Kit, consisting of a bone void filler and manual surgical instruments, is intended to be used during core decompression procedures. The bone void filler component resorbs and is replaced by bone during the healing process. The bone void filler included in the WMT Composite DBM Core Decompression Kit is not intended to be used as a load bearing device. WMT Composite DBM is provided sterile for single use.
Device Story
WMT Composite DBM is a bone void filler composed of calcium sulfate, calcium phosphate, and demineralized bone matrix (DBM). It is supplied as a powder and an aqueous mixing solution; when combined, they form an injectable paste that hardens in-situ via hydration. Used by surgeons in clinical settings to fill osseous defects or gaps in the extremities and pelvis; can augment provisional hardware like K-wires during procedures. The material is resorbable and replaced by bone during healing. It is not load-bearing. Benefits include temporary support of bone fragments and promotion of bone remodeling. Clinical utility is supported by canine model studies comparing healing rates and bone formation against autograft and other bone void fillers.
Clinical Evidence
No human clinical data provided. Evidence based on a critically sized canine proximal humerus defect model. Study compared WMT Composite DBM to PRO-DENSE and autograft. Metrics included new bone formation, residual material volume, stiffness, compressive strength, and modulus of elasticity at 6, 13, and 26 weeks. Results indicated accelerated healing and bone remodeling comparable to autograft by 26 weeks. Osteoinductive property confirmed via comparison to ALLOMATRIX.
Technological Characteristics
Composition: Calcium sulfate, calcium phosphate, and demineralized bone matrix (DBM). Form: Powder and aqueous mixing solution. Principle: Hydration reaction resulting in in-situ hardening. Delivery: Injectable or digitally packed paste. Sterilization: Sterile, single-use.

Device Product Code and Panel Code:
#### DEVICE INFORMATION
#### A. INTENDED USE
WMT Composite DBM resultant paste is intended for use as a bone graft substitute to be injected or digitally packed into open bone voids/gaps that are not intrinsic to the stability of bony structure of the skeletal system (i.e., the extremities and pelvis) to cure in-situ. These open bone voids may be surgically created osseous defects or osseous defects created from traumatic injury to the bone. The paste provides a bone graft substitute that resorbs and is replaced with bone during the healing process.
The WMT Composite DBM paste cured in situ provides an open void/gap filler that can augment provisional hardware (e.g. K-Wires) to help support bone fragments during the surgical procedure. The cured paste acts only as a temporary support media and is not intended to provide structural support during the healing process.
The WMT Composite DBM Core Decompression Procedure Kit, consisting of a bone void filler and manual surgical instruments, is intended to be used during core decompression procedures. The bone void filler component resorbs and is replaced by bone during the healing process. The bone void filler included in the WMT Composite DBM Core Decompression Kit is not intended to be used as a load bearing device.
WMT Composite DBM is provided sterile for single use.
## B. DEVICE DESCRIPTION
The design features of the WMT Composite DBM Kit are substantially equivalent to the design features of the predicate devices. A brief description of the WMT Composite DBM implant and a summary of additional performance/marketing claims are provided below.
{1}------------------------------------------------
### IMPLANT DESCRIPTION
WMT Composite DBM consists of a calcium sulfate, calcium phosphate, and demineralized bone matrix bone void filler consisting of a powder component and an aqueous mixing solution. When the two components are mixed, according to directions, an injectable paste is formed which subsequently hardens via hydration reactions.
## NON-CLINICAL PERFORMANCE/MARKETING CLAIMS
Accelerated healing compared to PRO-DENSE®*: At 6 weeks, the percentage of new bone formation within the WMT Composite DBM defects was approximately the same as for PRO-DENSE® treated defects although there was less residual material in the WMT Composite DBM defects at this time point compared to PRO-DENSE®. Compared to PRO-DENSE®, WMT Composite DBM showed accelerated and more complete healing as evidenced by new bone formation across the width of the defect.
Accelerated healing compared to autograft*: Compared to autograft and normal bone, WMT Composite DBM showed accelerated new bone formation at 13 and 26 weeks. This was evident by the slightly higher stiffness, the greater amount of newly formed bone, and statistically significantly greater compressive strength shown for WMT Composite DBM. By comparing the 26-week clinical and contact radiographs and gross cross-sectional images and histological images, there appeared to be little to no apparent differences between defects filled with either WMT Composite DBM or autograft. Comparison of percentage of new bone, compressive strength, and modulus of elasticity showed no statistically significant differences between the materials at 26 weeks.
Bone remodeling to normal bone at 13 weeks *: From 6 to 13 weeks, the amount of new bone formation in the WMT Composite DBM defects increased. At 13 weeks, the WMT Composite DBM material had substantially remodeled compared to the 6-week time point. From 13 to 26 weeks, the amount of new bone formation for WMT Composite DBM was sustained and the amount of residual material continued to decrease. Further, at every time point, a comparison of WMT Composite DBM to normal bone shows no significant differences for percentage new bone, compressive strength, and modulus of elasticity.
Following the same test design as the predicate, ALLOMATRIX®, the osteoinductive property of WMT Composite DBM was confirmed.
* All claims are based on a critically sized canine proximal humerus defect model. It is unknown how results from the canine model compare with clinical results in humans.
## C. SUBSTANTIAL EQUIVALENCE INFORMATION
The intended use, type of interface, operating principles, shelf life, and design features of the WMT Composite DBM are substantially equivalent to the previously cleared predicates. Additionally, the safety and effectiveness of the WMT Composite DBM is adequately supported by the substantial equivalent information, materials data, and testing results provided within this Premarket Notification.

Part 1 — Search, results, and everyday workflows 16 min
Part 2 — Embeddings: the galaxy map 3 min
1. Search: exact and fuzzy
Type a phrase like "coronary artery calcification" into the search box. You get two kinds of results. Exact results match the literal phrase — prefix searches work ("coronary artery calcificati") but suffix searches do not. Fuzzy results match on the meaning and intent of your phrase rather than the exact words, and are sorted by relevance score. Hover over the Exact or Fuzzy badge on any row to see exactly why it matched.
Use the checkboxes above the results to narrow: SaMD keeps only software-only devices, AI / ML keeps only devices with AI.
Exact vs. fuzzy search: what's the difference?
Exact matches on the literal phrase (prefix search works, suffix does not). Fuzzy matches on the meaning and intent of the phrase rather than the exact words. Hover over the badge on any row to see why it matched.
You search "coronary artery calcification" and want only software devices with AI. What two filters do you apply?
Narrow by SaMD (software-only devices), then narrow by AI/ML (devices with AI).
2. The results table
Scroll right in the results table. The intended use is extracted for you — no need to open the PDF. The device story gives a high-level snapshot of what the device does and how it's used. The AI Performance sub-table shows each output name, acceptance criteria, observed values, and development/test dataset descriptions — the same format Innolitics uses for regulatory strategy outputs, and the fastest high-level fingerprint of an AI device. It is AI-generated but has been very reliable in practice.
Where do you find a device's intended use without opening the PDF?
Scroll right in the search results table. The intended use column is extracted for you; no need to dig into the 510(k) summary PDF.
What does the AI Performance sub-table show, and why is it useful?
Output name, acceptance criteria, observed values, development dataset description, and test dataset description. It's the same format we use for regulatory strategy output and Fast 510(k) input, and the fastest high-level fingerprint of an AI device. AI-generated but reliable in practice.
3. Judging fuzzy relevance
Fuzzy results trail off in relevance as you scroll. Use three signals to decide how far down to go: the fuzzy badge explanations, the intended use column, and whether your target output (e.g., Cobb angle) still appears in the AI Performance sub-table. Once it stops appearing, you're past the relevant zone. A top hit with a low score (~0.4) and a stretched explanation is a hint the closest predicates are far away — the project may be headed for De Novo. Note the fuzzy search is a pattern match: it doesn't handle negation ("not") well, and hardware devices can appear — filter by SaMD/AI ML to cut them.
How do you judge how far down fuzzy search results to go?
Use the relevancy signals: the fuzzy badge explanations, the intended use column, and whether the target output (e.g., Cobb angle) still appears in the AI Performance sub-table. Once it stops appearing, results are trailing off in relevancy.
4. Device detail page: chat and citations
Click a device name to open its detail page: device facts on the left, a chat window on the right. Ask something like "Describe the training data". The answer carries little citation bubbles — click one to jump to the highlighted passage in the source PDF, so you can verify every AI answer against the document. There's also a Download PDF button for sharing.
How do you verify an AI chat answer on the device detail page?
Click the citation bubbles to jump to the relevant highlight in the source document.
Reading rule for every project: how many summaries do you read in full?
At least the three most relevant 510(k) or De Novo summaries, in full. After that, use targeted chat questions to confirm your memory quickly. The tool supports this professional habit — it doesn't replace it.
5. Side-by-side comparison
Select multiple rows in the results table (aim for under ~10), then open the PDF Viewer tab. Ask one question — it goes to all selected devices in parallel, each with citations. This is the fastest way to compare and contrast devices: training data, PCCP scope, how they handled adding new scanners, and so on.
What does the side-by-side PDF viewer mode do?
Select multiple devices, open the PDF viewer tab, and ask one question (e.g., "Describe the training data"). It queries all selected devices simultaneously with citations, so you can compare and contrast quickly.
6. Collections
With rows selected, go to the Collections tab and create a labeled collection (e.g., "Cobb Angle Project"). Reload that selection any time — before a client call, pull up the collection and ask questions across all of its devices at once.
How do you save a set of selected devices for later use?
Select the rows, go to the Collections tab, and create a labeled collection (e.g., "Cobb Angle Project"). You can reload the selection anytime and carry it into the PDF viewer and other tabs that support selections.
7. Product codes and the regulations tree
Click a product code in the results to jump to it in the regulations tree — identification text, sibling product codes, and devices you can open in a PDF viewer on the right. Click a regulation number to see its identification, special controls, and related product codes. You can also search by product code or regulation number at the top of the tree. Always read the special controls if any exist for your device — it broadens your search and sharpens pre-kickoff research.
What can you do from the regulations tree view?
Browse product codes and regulation numbers, read the identification text and special controls, browse sibling product codes, open device PDFs on the right, and search by product code or regulation number at the top of the tree.
8. Chart view
Click Show Chart and segment by regulation number (or product code) to see which regulations dominate your result set. Clicking a regulation takes you into the regulations tree. Great for spotting that most matches are, say, hardware laparoscopic devices — a cue to go back and filter.
How do you see which regulations dominate a search result set?
Click "Show Chart" and segment by Regulation Number. Clicking a regulation takes you to the regulations tree.
9. The predicate graph
Open the Predicates tab for a family-tree view of predicate relationships. Click a node to trace its parents and children; selections from search carry over pre-selected. Commonly predicated devices are worth reading — a lot of people predicated them for a reason. The visual lineage is also handy on client calls, e.g. to show how a predicate family evolved and justify why your predicate still holds.
In the predicate graph, why are commonly predicated devices worth reading?
A lot of people predicated them for a reason. Clicking a node traces parents and children, and selections from search carry over pre-selected.
10. Embeddings: the galaxy map
The Embeddings tab plots every matching document in a 2-D "galaxy map" where semantically similar devices cluster together. Hover or click clusters to explore, and let AI label the clusters for you. Embeddings beat product codes for grouping: two devices can carry different product codes (LLZ vs. QIH) yet do the same thing — the embedding captures the meaning of the intended use and device story. This is also exactly how retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) works under the hood, and it makes a great visual on client calls.
Try it yourself
Head to the search page and work through a few of these AI/ML fuzzy searches to build intuition: perivascular fat on CT · aortic valve calcification opportunistic screening on noncontrast CT · breast cancer prediction on digital pathology slides · autism detection · gestational age prediction · a hearing aid that can also detect a pulse · foundation model based analysis of ECG · large language models · penetration test. Watch how the relevance scores, intended use, and AI Performance tables tell you when results stop being meaningful.
