The OrthoVis Preoperative Plan is a preoperative plan document created via the OrthoVis software that facilitates accurate preoperative planning and intraoperative placement of the glenoid component in total shoulder replacement. The OrthoVis Preoperative Plan is indicated for use with the DePuy Global AP Shoulder glenoid, Global Shoulder StepTech™ Anchor Peg glenoid, or Delta Xtend™ Reverse Shoulder metaglene components. The indications for use of the DePuy shoulder systems with which the OrthoVis Preoperative Plan is intended to be used are the same as those described in 510(k) K123122.
Device Story
OrthoVis Preoperative Plan is a software-based preoperative planning tool for total shoulder arthroplasty. Input: patient CT scan data. Operation: software segments bony anatomy (scapula, humerus) and allows virtual implantation of specific DePuy shoulder components. Output: a PDF document containing text, images, and rotatable 3D models of the planned implant and bone. Usage: used by surgeons in a clinical setting to simulate and evaluate implant placement and surgical options. The plan is labeled 'unapproved' until the surgeon reviews and approves it, at which point the final plan is provided. Benefits: improves surgical accuracy for guide pin placement, version, and inclination; provides visual reference for anatomy obscured by surgical exposure.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. A Sawbones study evaluated the OrthoVis Preoperative Plan as a stand-alone tool for mock total shoulder arthroplasty. Three surgeons performed procedures on 9 different pathologies. Results showed improved accuracy in guide pin placement (0.4 mm, p=0.042), version (4.5°, p<0.001), and inclination (3.3°, p=0.013) compared to standard of care instruments.
Technological Characteristics
Software-based preoperative planning system. Inputs: CT image data. Outputs: PDF document with 3D models. Connectivity: standalone software. Verification/validation performed per FDA guidance on Software in Medical Devices. Dimensional validation confirmed accuracy of measurements within the software.
Indications for Use
Indicated for preoperative planning and intraoperative placement of glenoid components in total shoulder replacement. Used with DePuy Global AP, Global StepTech, and Delta Xtend components. Patient population matches those indicated for the specified DePuy shoulder systems (K123122).

#### PREDICATE DEVICES:
COMMON NAMES:
Custom Orthopaedic Solutions Glenoid IRIS (K123122) Materialise N.V. SurgiCase (K073449)
#### DEVICE DESCRIPTION:
The OrthoVis Preoperative Plan is a preoperative plan document that is created in OrthoVis software. A patient CT scan is loaded into OrthoVis software and the desired bony anatomy can be separated and segmented with OrthoVis tools, allowing extracted and segmented bones (e.g., scapula, humerus) to be virtually implanted with shoulder replacement implants. OrthoVis currently is used only with the DePuy Global APG glenoid, DePuy Global StepTech, and DePuy Delta Xtend components for total shoulder arthroplasty. OrthoVis can then produce a preoperative plan document (.pdf file), the OrthoVis Preoperative Plan, that contains text, images, and in electronic format, a rotatable 3D model(s) of the implanted component and bone. This preoperative plan document is labeled, via a watermark, as unapproved until the ordering surgeon approves the plan, at which point such labeling is removed and the final plan provided to the ordering surgeon.
{1}------------------------------------------------
#### INTENDED USE AND INDICATIONS:
The OrthoVis Preoperative Plan is a preoperative plan document created via the OrthoVis software that facilitates accurate preoperative planning and intraoperative placement of the glenoid component in total shoulder replacement. The OrthoVis Preoperative Plan is indicated for use with the DePuy Global AP " Shoulder glenoid, Global Shoulder StepTech™ Anchor Peg glenoid, or Delta Xtend'™ Reverse Shoulder metaglene components.
The indications for use of the DePuy shoulder systems with which the OrthoVis Preoperative Plan is intended to be used are the same as those described in 510(k) K123122.
#### BASIS OF SUBSTANTIAL EQUIVALENCE:
The OrthoVis Preoperative Plan is substantially equivalent to the Glenoid IRIS and Materialise SurgiCase system in function, intended use, input, and sterility. The OrthoVis Preoperative plan is substantially equivalent in function for in that the subject and predicate devices are based off patient specific CT image data that allows segmentation of desired bony anatomy. In all of the systems the purpose of the subject and predicate devices is to provide a preoperative plan to influence surgical planning and accuracy. The Materialise SurgiCase system is also able to use MRI imaging data; however, we do not believe this difference impacts the substantial equivalence of the OrthoVis Software & OrthoVis Preoperative Plan to the Materialise SurgiCase system. The subject device in this 510(k) is also substantially equivalent to the Glenoid IRIS predicate device because the OrthoVis Software & OrthoVis Preoperative plan is used with the same DePuy implant systems as the Glenoid IRIS system. The Materialise SurgiCase system allows .stl files (cutting guides, etc.) to be loaded into the preoperative planning environment and the location of the loaded geometry is able to be evaluated for preoperative planning purposes. In this case, both the subject and predicate devices allow preoperative evaluation of implant (model .stl files) size and placement as well as improved visualization of the segmented bones that would otherwise be obscured by surgical exposure constraints. The OrthoVis Preoperative Plan is substantially equivalent to the Glenoid IRIS in that both are used to preoperatively plan the location of the 2.5 mm guide pin for glenoid implant preparation. Finally, the subject and predicate devices are substantially equivalent because in all three systems the surgeon is required to approve the final preoperative plan.
The OrthoVis Preoperative Plan is substantially equivalent to the Glenoid IRIS system and Materialise SurgiCase system in its intended use. The intended use of the OrthoVis Software & OrthoVis Preoperative Plan is identical to that of the Glenoid IRIS system and differs only in that the Glenoid IRIS system contains other components (rapid prototyped bone models and a separate instrument). The intended use of the OrthoVis Preoperative Plan and the Materialise SurgiCase system is similar in that both are intended for use as a software interface and image segmentation system for the transfer of imaging information from a medical scanner and that both are intended to be used as preoperative planning software for simulating/evaluating implant placement and surgical treatment options. There are minor differences between the Materialise SurgiCase system and the OrthoVis Preoperative plan, one being that Materialise SurgiCase may use MRI data. Lastly, the OrthoVis Preoperative Plan is more specific than the Materialise SurgiCase system as it uses the actual implant files for three DePuy shoulder replacement systems and the SurgiCase system is not limited to just the shoulder or to specific implant systems. We believe that just because the OrthoVis Preoperative Plan is more focused on a specific joint and implant systems does not alter its substantial equivalence to the predicate devices.
The OrthoVis Preoperative Plan is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices because it shares the same input modality as the predicate devices. Both the subject and predicate devices use patient CT images as input. All of the systems use the CT images to create a virtual model of the segmented, desired bony anatorny. Both the OrthoVis Preoperative Plan and the Glenoid IRIS system generate a 3D virtual model in the OrthoVis software and capture images that the surgeon may use for visual reference in preoperative planning and carrying out the planned surgery. Both the subject device and predicate
{2}------------------------------------------------
devices must have the preoperative plans reviewed and approved by the ordering surgeon prior to delivery of the final device product. The differences between the subject and predicate systems are minor. First, the SurgiCase system is able to use CT images, 2D radiographs, as well as MRI. Second, the Glenoid IRIS system and Materialise SurgiCase system use the preoperative plan and images to create instruments (bone models or patient specific cutting guides) that aid in carrying out the plan. In this case, the OrthoVis Preoperative Plan does not go beyond creating visual reference images for carrying out the plan; however, we feel that these differences are outweighed by the substantial similarities between the systems and thus do not make the OrthoVis Preoperative Plan not substantially equivalent.
Finally, the OrthoVis Preoperative Plan is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices because in all systems the preoperative plan or software for creating the preoperative plan is provided non-sterile. While in the Glenoid IRIS system there are extra components that are provided sterile, the OrthoVis Preoperative Plan as a stand-alone product does not make use of these extra components.
#### Non-Clinical Testing
The following testing was performed to demonstrate substantial equivalency of the OrthoVis Preoperative Plan to the predicate devices.
- . Software verification and validation
- . Dimensional validation
- Sawbones study
The software verification and validation studies were performed to show that bones segmented in the OrthoVis software were segmented accurate to their actual size. Furthermore, the OrthoVis Software for producing the OrthoVis Preoperative Plan was verified and validated for quality purposes according to the guidance on Software in Medical Devices. In this case, the OrthoVis Preoperative Plan software is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices in that all the systems were required to undergo similar software verification and validation activities to ensure accuracy and quality in the products intended use and function.
The dimensional validation performed on the software showed that known lengths of actual CT scanned objects could be accurately measured and portrayed within the OrthoVis software.
The Sawbones study was a bench testing study of simulated use of the OrthoVis Software & Preoperative Plan as well as of the full Glenoid IRIS system. While the full Glenoid IRIS system is not pertinent to this 510(k), an intermediate aspect of this study evaluated the effect of the OrthoVis Preoperative Plan as a stand-alone tool in helping various surgeons to accurately achieve a preoperatively planned implant location in mock total shoulder arthroplasty procedures. Three different surgeons performed the study on two instances each of 9 different pathologies (ranging from mild deformity to severe). Results of the study showed that the OrthoVis Preoperative Plan improved accuracy of guide pin placement in version by 4.5° (±1° s.d.)(p<0.001) compared to standard of care instruments, inclination improved by 3.3° (±1.3° s.d.)(p=0.013), and pin placement by 0.4 mm (±0.2 mm)(p=0.042).
#### Conclusion
The non-clinical testing performed for the OrthoVis Preoperative Plan product shows that the OrthoVis Software and the Preoperative Plan is able to accurately perform its intended use and function. The Sawbones study shows that the OrthoVis Preoperative Plan does indeed aid as a visual reference for simulating/evaluating surgical treatment options for total shoulder arthroplasty. In conclusion, as discussed in this section, the OrthoVis Preoperative Plan is substantially equivalent to the Glenoid IRIS and

O
Materialise SurgiCase predicate devices in function, use and intended-use, input, surgical approval, and sterility. While the systems are not exactly the same, the aforementioned similarities make the subject device substantially equivalent to the predicate devices more than the differences make the devices not substantially equivalent. The differences between the systems are typically ways in which one or both of the predicate devices goes beyond what the OrthoVis Preoperative Plan by itself provides, but do not negate the substantial similarities that the subject and predicate devices all share.

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.
