Indications for Use
Osta Maxigro™ in both forms (powder & blocks) and Osta Regigro™ in both forms (powder & blocks) are Recommended for: Filling of large oral and maxillofacial intra-osseous cavities .
Device Story
Osta Maxigro and Osta Regigro are natural bovine-derived bone mineral grafting materials. Manufacturing involves fat extraction, collagen removal, and sintering to create a porous, hydroxyapatite-based scaffold. Available as powder or blocks, the material provides a high-surface-area structure that supports host bone ingrowth and remodeling; it is resorbed over time and replaced by natural bone. Used by dental/oral surgeons in clinical settings for maxillofacial bone defects. The device is not intended for load-bearing applications. Clinicians pack the material into the surgical site to facilitate bone regeneration. Benefits include providing a stable scaffold for bone formation in oral/maxillofacial procedures.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Evidence includes chemical and physical characterization (XRD, FTIR, crystallinity), in vitro dissolution rate comparisons, and in vivo muscle pouch implantation studies (ISO 10993-6). Biocompatibility testing included cytotoxicity (ISO 10993-5), intracutaneous injection (ISO 10993-5), sensitization (ISO 10993-10), and genotoxicity (ISO 10993-3). Results demonstrated no significant difference (99% confidence) between subject devices and predicate in dissolution, inflammation, encapsulation, or angiogenesis.
Technological Characteristics
Bovine-derived hydroxyapatite bone mineral; microporous scaffold structure. Osta Maxigro surface area >100m²/g; Osta Regigro surface area >80m²/g. Sterilized via gamma radiation (ISO 11137, SAL 10^-6). Prion reduction via hydrogen peroxide gas treatment. Non-load bearing. Complies with ISO 10993 standards for biocompatibility.
Indications for Use
Indicated for augmentation or reconstructive treatment of alveolar ridge; filling of periodontal defects; filling of defects after root resection, apicectomy, and cystectomy; filling of extraction sockets for alveolar ridge preservation; elevation of maxillary sinus floor; and filling of periodontal defects in conjunction with GTR/GBR products. Contraindicated for patients with hyperthyroidism, osteoporosis, osteomalacia, liver disease, renal dysfunction, diabetes, and acute or chronic infections.
Regulatory Classification

#### 16-Description of the Device:
Osta Maxigro™ and Osta Regigro™ are natural bone minerals which have been derived from a bovine extract. The material is essentially free from collagen and comprises of a highly purified mineral structure with micropores and trabecules which is comparable to that of human bone. The materials are prepared by extracting the fat and removal of the collagen, thereby resulting in a pure bone mineral that is sintered in block form and then crushed to form powder granules. This natural sponge like geometry comprising of Hydroxyapatite nano-crystalls results in a high internal surface area scaffold that typically exceeds 100m /g for Osta Maxigro™ and 80m /g for Osta Regigro™. The high surface area properties of these materials make them ideal for allowing blood flow to the wound site where bony contact is established during the bone remodeling process. Osta Maxigro™ and Osta Regigro™ have low crystallinities comparable to that of human bone which is completely resorbed and replaced by host bone during bone regeneration process. The materials support bone formation but do not induce bone formation. Osta Maxigro™ are available in powder or block form and both undergo final sterilization by y- radiation of Osta Maxigro™ blocks and granules can be utilized for the indications shown below depending on the defect size. Osta Maxigro™ Blocks is ideally recommended for filling of large bone cavities with limited bone height and or wall thickness.
### 17-Intended Use:
Osta Maxigro™ in both forms (powder & blocks) and Osta Regigro™ in both forms (powder & blocks) are Recommended for:
> Filling of large oral and maxillofacial intra-osseous cavities .

19- Brief discussion of the non clinical tests submitted, referenced or relied on in this 510k submission.
## Effectiveness discussion
Assessment of the performance characteristics of the Osta Maxigro™ and Osta Regigro™ was carried out by a full chemical and physical characterization of the test devices relative to the predicate. The physical and chemical characteristics of the devices were comparable to the predicate; however, the key performance output that has a direct link to the chemical and physical characteristics was the dissolution performance of the devices relative to the predicate. It is well accepted that the in vitro dissolution rate comparisons of the devices relative to the predicate would be indicative of the in vivo resorption rates which would demonstrate substantially equivalence to the predicate. Given that at 99% confidence there was no significant difference in the dissolution rates of the devices (in either form powder or block) to the predicate, it follows that from a performance characteristic point of view, the devices would be as effective as that of the predicate.
# Safety discussion
From a biological tolerance point of view the Osta Maxigro™ and Osta Regigro™ devices were tested individually regarding cytotixicity according to ISO 10993-5 and intracutaneous injection (ISO 10993-5) and in combination testing for cytotoxicity, sensitization testing ISO10993-10 and genotoxic screening (ISO 10993-3). It should be borne in mind that both Osta Maxigro™ and Osta Regigro™ devices are exposed to the same chemical treatments for the same times during processing. The Osta Maxigro™ and Osta Regigro™ devices conformed to all the standards mentioned above regarding safety. An in vivo impiantation muscle pouch study also concluded that at 99% confidence there was no significant difference, regarding inflammation, encapsulation and angiogenesis with respect to the predicate as per ISO10993-6. From a sterility point of view the devices also conformed to ISO 11137 in terms of achieving a sterility level SAL 1x10 °. In terms of mitigating the potential

K 091424
presence of prions, a hydrogen peroxide gas treatment was incorporated in to the process to reduce the potential presence of prions on the devices as per published data. Based on the biological screening, sterility tests and prion reduction initiatives as described above, the fact that the Osta Maxigro™ devices complies to all safety standards for biological tolerance means that the devices are as safe as that of the predicate.
## 20-Safety and Effectiveness of the devices:
Based on the summaries in (18 &19) above it is demonstrated that Osta Maxigro™ and Osta Regigro™ devices are substantially equivalent to the predicate Bio Oss™ and effective regarding the indications for use.

Two short videos show you everything — or skip straight to the written tutorial if you'd rather read. You can reopen this any time from the Tutorial button in the top bar.
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.
