REVOIS® Section 4 Special 510 (k) Summary
#### 3. PREDICATE DEVICE
REVOIS® Implant System: K063106
### DESCRIPTION OF THE DEVICE 4.
The REVOLS® Implant System is a self-contained, modular dental implant system for placement into the jaw bone (upper or lower jaw bone) to support prosthetic devices for dental restoration. The system is designed for one-stage or two-stage surgical procedures.
The REVOIS® Implant System is composed of titanium, screw type implant, preassembled with a multifunctional precision abutment and a transfer tool that snaps onto the abutment (Snap-on-tool). The implant is also available with a transfer tool only. A cover screw is contained in the top of the snap-on or transfer tool.
The system offers implants in various diameters and lengths (3.8; 4.3; 5.0 mm diameter; 9; 11; 13; 15 mm lengths). The REVOIS® Implant System is provided with a number of corresponding tools and surgical instruments, as well as a variety of prosthetic components which are definitely 510(K)-exempt or still cleared by the submission K063106. For ease of identification the implants and corresponding tools are color coded according to diameter.
The main components of the implant system are made of Grade V Titanium. The used materials comply with the ASTM standards ASTM F067, ASTM F0136-2a, and ASTM F2026.
The implant surface is blasted with aluminium oxide and then acid-etched for microroughness. Blasting and acid -etching contributes to the implant surface characteristics. Furthermore grooves increase resistance to shear forces in difficult clinical cases.
The REVOIS® titanium implant (pre-assembled with the multifunctional precision abutment and snap-on-tool or with the transfer tool only) is supplied in double sterile packages (sterile inner plastic vial in a sterile glass vial, which is sealed in a blister) and is for single use only.
Tools and other re-usable instruments must be sterilized prior to use.
### 5. STATEMENT OF INTENDED USE
The REVOIS® Implant System is an implant system recommended for:

| <i>REVOIS</i> ® | Section 4 |
|-------------------------|---------------------|
| Special 510 (k) Summary | Image: RIEMSER logo |
Surgical placement in the edentulous or partially edentulous jaw bone (upper or lower jaw bone) to create support for prosthetic devices such as single artificial teeth, fixed or removable bridges or dentures.
The titanium implant can be applied either in a one-stage surgical procedure with immediate loading when good primary stability is achieved and with appropriate occlusal loading, or in a two-stage surgical procedure (after osseointegration of the implant).
### STATEMENT OF TECHNOLOGICAL COMPARISON, BASIS FOR 6. SUBSTANTIAL EQUIVALENCE
The REVOIS® Implant System by Riemser is identical to the REVOIS® Implant System by cursan that was cleared by K063106. The ownership of the K063106 device was transferred from CURASAN AG to Riemser AG and FDA was notified by a letter to file. The Riemser device like the curasan device provides the same state-of-the art implant technology and options. The design and pre-assembled version of implant, abutment (which fits for all implants and implant diameters) and snap-on/transfer tool offer easy handling for the dentist/surgeon by reducing the number of components needed for successful placement of the implant, while ensuring precision and stability.
The stability of the implant body of the REVOIS® implant system thread was tested in non-clinical performance testing as fatigue testing according to ISO 14801 and Bench testing with Animal Model.
The essential similarity conclusion regarding the comparability of REVOIS® and REVOIS® (CURASAN, K063106)) are displayed in the following:
Both implant systems share similar indications for use. Both systems consist of screw form implants with internal hex connection consisting of different grades which is an inert, very durable material well known and used in implant surgery. They feature special threads and surfaces intended to support the primary stability of the implant and to ease the insertion, tissue adhesion and osseointegration of the implant into the bone. Both the curasan AG and Reimser AG systems provide implants in various diameters, lengths and color codes to accommodate different clinical situations as well as the matching tools, surgical instruments and accessories. The implants and pre-mounted components where applicable (REVOIS®, REVOIS® (CURASAN, K063106)), are supplied gamma sterilized in double sterile packaging. Differences between the Riemser REVOLS® and the curasan predicate device exist in the implant surface treatment; aluminium oxide blasted / acid etched (Riemser REVOIS®) and zirconium blasted / acidetched (REVOIS® (CURASAN, K063106)). Each system has a triple layer of sterility protection: PETG vial in glass vial, sealed in a blister at REVOIS®; the REVOIS® (CURASAN) comes with PET vial instead of PETG, while the blister and glass vial remain the same.

# K113042
| <i>REVOIS</i> ® | Section 4 |
|-------------------------|---------------------|
| Special 510 (k) Summary | <br>Arzneimittel AG |
In summary, both systems are comparable in their main and most important characteristics. The differences between the systems represent minor updates as described and do not affect the device safety or effectiveness. The Riemser REVOIS® and the REVOIS® (CURASAN) implant systems are therefore substantially equivalent.

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.
