Indications for Use
The REVOIS® PRO Implant System is an implant system recommended for surgical placement in the edentulous or partly edentulous jaw bone (upper and 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 (with good primary stability and appropriate occlusal loading) in a two-stage surgical procedure (after osseointegration of the implant).
Device Story
REVOIS® PRO Implant System is a modular, screw-type dental implant system for jaw bone placement to support dental prosthetics. System comprises titanium cylindrical implants with double-thread body and fine-thread neck, designed for one-stage (immediate loading) or two-stage surgical procedures. Implants are color-coded by diameter. System includes various abutments (healing, standard, aesthetic, impression, locator, ball attachment) and impression screws. Used by dentists/surgeons in clinical settings. Implant surface is blasted with aluminum oxide and acid-etched for micro-roughness. Provides stable anchorage in alveolar crest; progressive thread design distributes occlusal forces. Delivered sterile for single use. Healthcare providers use the system to restore dental function; clinical decision-making relies on surgical assessment of primary stability and osseointegration.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data provided. Substantial equivalence is supported by non-clinical bench testing, including fatigue testing per ISO 14801 and animal model bench testing. Performance was compared to the precursor REVOIS® system with comparable results. Extensive literature citations provided for general dental implant performance.
Technological Characteristics
Materials: Grade V Titanium (ASTM F067, ASTM F0136-2a), Ceramicor (gold-platinum alloy), Aluminum Alloy 6061. Design: Cylindrical screw-type with double-thread body and fine-thread neck. Surface: Aluminum oxide blasted and acid-etched. Sterilization: Sterile-packed. Connectivity: None (mechanical system).
Indications for Use
Indicated for surgical placement in edentulous or partially edentulous upper or lower jaw bone to support prosthetic devices including single artificial teeth, fixed or removable bridges, or dentures. Suitable for one-stage procedures with immediate loading or two-stage procedures after osseointegration.

# REVOIS®: PRO 510(K)-Summary
#### 3. PREDICATE DEVICES
REVOIS® Implant System: K063106
#### 4. DESCRIPTION OF THE DEVICE
The REVOIS® PRO Implant System is a development of the former REVOIS® Implant System. The REVOIS® PRO 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® PRO Implant System is composed of a titanium screw type cylindrical implant. It is a screw form implant with cylindrical thread and a progressive thread near the apex. The double thread of the implant body is contiguous with the triple thread (fine thread) at the implant neck. Together with the conical implant body of the REVOIS®: PRO implant, the progressive thread makes sure that the implant is well anchored in the host bone of the alveolar crest. The incremental pitch of the thread upwards evenly distributes the forces so that implants heal well and can be loaded immediately.
The implant system is delivered in a sterile insert blister and comprises an implant, an impression abutment, an impression screw and a cover screw (sterile packed as a set in a blister packaging). The impression screw serves as a connector between impression abutment and implant so that the pre-assembled parts fit tightly into the inlay for sterility reasons. The system offers implants in various diameters and lengths (3.8; 4.3; 5.0 mm diameter; 9; 11; 13; 15 mm lengths). For ease of identification the implants are color coded according to diameter.
The dental abutment portions of the REVOIS® : PRO implant system include several abutments described subsequently:
- Healing Abutments of diameter 4.4 mm and 5.2 mm in height 2 mm, 3mm and 5 mm each, made of Titanium Grade 5
- Standard abutment (incl. retaining screw) of diameter 4,4 mm in height 5 mm and 7 mm each, made of Titanium Grade 5
- Individual aesthetic abutment of diameter 4,4 mm, made of CERAMICOR®, a gold- platinium alloy
- Impression abutment, multi (pre-mounted with impression screw) made of Titanium Grade 5 ।
- Impression abutment open tray of diameter 4.4 mm, made of Titanium Grade 5 ।
- Locator* abutment, made of Titanium Grade 5 t
- Locatore Replacement set, consists of several components made of plastic and Titanium Grade 5
- Locator® impression coping, made of the Aluminium Alloy 6061 ।
- Dalbot ball attachment of diameter 4.4 mm and in height 3 mm and 5mm, made of Titanium । Grade 5
The REVOIS® PRO Implant System is provided with a variety of prosthetic components and tool which are definitely 510(K)-exempt or still cleared by the submission K063106.

|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|-----------|--|
| 510/K)-Summarv<br>------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | | |
The main components of the implant system are made of Grade V Titanium (implant, abutment). The materials comply with the ASTM standards ASTM F067 (implant) and ASTM F0136-2a (abutment). The implant surface is blasted with luminium oxide particles (Corundum) and then acid-etched for micro-roughness.
The REVOIS® PRO titanium implant is sterile packed for single use only. The sterility is indicated by the color on the sterility indicator attached to the inner Tyvek® foil.
#### ડ. STATEMENT OF INTENDED USE
The basis for the substantial equivalence of the REVOIS® PRO Implant System is the following:
The REVOIS® PRO Implant System is an implant system recommended for surgical placement in the edentulous or partly edentulous jaw bone (upper and 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 (with good primary stability and appropriate occlusal loading) in a two-stage surgical procedure (after osseointegration of the implant).
#### 6. STATEMENT OF TECHNOLOGICAL COMPARISON
The REVOIS® PRO Implant System provides state-of-the art implant technology and options that are comparable to the technology of the predicate devices. The innovative design (cvlindrical form of implant, double thread of the implant body turns into a fine thread in the neck of the implant) and pre-assembled version of implant, abutment (which fits for all implants and implant diameters) offers 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 geometric design of the implant is with cylindrical shape and rounded apex.
Compared with the predecessor REVOIS® Implant System, the screw thread of the REVOIS® PRO Implant System covers only about two thirds of the implant, the upper third of the extension of the implant is covered by the mentioned fine thread. The proximal end of the thread is a circumferential crease.
The stability of the implant body and the thread of the REVOIS®: PRO implant system was tested in non-clinical performance testing as Fatigue Testing with mounted standard abutment according to ISO 14801 and Bench Testing with Animal Model. All the tests were also performed with the precursor system REVOIS® with comparable results. The critical appreciation within the clinical assessment was done with the following non-clinical testing data to support this submission: FRIATEC, 1998: Cia et al., 2003; Striezel et al., 1998; Mathew et al., 2000; Jonas et al., 2001; Steigenga et al., 2004; Steigenga et al., 2003; Steigenga et al., 1999; Jalbout et al., 2004; Jividen et al., 2000; Massaro et al., 2002; Gross et al., 1998; Burgess et al. 1999; Chen et al., 2004; Elagli et al., 1989; Hemmerle et al., 1996; Pohler, 2000; Valesco- Ortega et al., 2010;

Zaffe et al., 2003; Guizzardi et al., 2004; Shirakura et al., 2003 Esposito et al., 1998; Elagli et al., 1992; Rosengren et al., 2002; Sicilia A. et al., 2008; Kumazawa et al., 2002; Assad et al., 1999.
Additional substantial equivalence results in equivalence to a variety of currently marketed and cleared dental implants or implant systems, especially the REVOIS® Implant System.
Both systems feature root form, screw type, endosseous implants made of titanium, and corresponding 510(K)-exempted tools, instruments and partly 510(K)-exempted accessories. Color coding of components is used in all systems compared for this submission to simplify identification and prevent mix-up of non-coordinating parts. The systems are essentially similar regarding intended use, indications, target population, anatomical sites, implant diameters and lengths, implant to abutment connection, materials used and performance aspects. In addition both systems presented have a treated, roughened surface and tapered parts of the implant bodies. A one-stage or two-stage surgical procedure is possible with the REVOIS® PRO system and the predicate device.
The differences outlined in the SE comparison evaluation/discussion between the REVOIS® system and the predicate device, do not affect the safety or effectiveness of the REVOIS® PRO Implant System.
The REVOIS® system is indeed similar or equivalent, in most compared specifications (Classification, Classification Product Code, Intended Use, Indications for Use, Target population, Anatomical sites, Materials, Implant to abutment connection, Implant diameters, Implant lengths, Identification, Biocompatibility, Compatibility with the environment and other devices, Where used, Human factors, Design, Thread design, Performance, Technology, Standards met, Sterility, Mechanical safety) regarding design and performance even identical enough, to serve as predicates, but the REVOIS® PRO Implant System does have certain advantages of design and technology.

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.
