Indications for Use
FIBERGRAFT™ BG Morsels Bone Graft Substitute is indicated only for bony voids or gaps that are not intrinsic to the stability of the bony structure. FIBERGRAFT™ BG Morsels is indicated to be gently packed into bony voids or gaps of the skeletal system (i.e., the extremities and pelvis). These defects may be surgically created osseous defects or osseous defects created from traumatic injury to the bone . The product provides a bone void filler that resorbs and is replaced with the healing process. FIBERGRAFT™ BG Morsels is not indicated for use in load-bearing applications; therefore, standard internal or external stabilization techniques must be followed to obtain rigid stabilization.
Device Story
FIBERGRAFT™ BG Morsels is an osteoconductive, resorbable bone graft substitute. Device consists of crystalline 45S5 bioactive glass fibers and microspheres formed into porous, spherical granules. Used by surgeons to fill non-load-bearing bony voids or gaps in extremities and pelvis. Product is packed into defects; can be mixed with blood or saline prior to implantation. Bioactive glass forms a hydroxyapatite surface layer in aqueous environments, facilitating bonding with natural bone. Device resorbs and is replaced by bone during healing. Requires concurrent internal or external stabilization. Benefits include improved handling, radiopacity, and porous scaffold for biological response.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Testing compared fluid absorbability, packability, and handling characteristics of the device when mixed with blood versus saline at time zero and after aging. All results passed, demonstrating substantial equivalence to the predicate.
Technological Characteristics

## Technological Characteristics
FIBERGRAFT™ BG Morsels provides an osteoconductive, resorbable, biocompatible bone graft substitute made from crystalline 45S5 bioactive glass. Each granule of FIBERGRAFT™ BG Morsels is created from a matrix of bioactive glass fibers and microspheres. Bioactive glass is defined as a group of glasses which has a compositional range that allows the formation of hydroxyapatite (HA) as a surface layer when exposed to an aqueous phosphate-containing solution such as simulated body fluid. The HA layer that forms in an aqueous phosphate-containing solution plays a significant role in forming a strong bond with natural bone. The granules provide an ultra-porous scaffold for desired biological response and improved handling characteristics, while optimizing radiopacity and resorption. FIBERGRAFT™ BG Morsels are generally spherical in appearance and provided in granular form. The matrix is flash sintered to form a porous shell at its surface, which creates the generally spherical structure of the granules, while maintaining a level of porosity within each granule. The primary purpose of this submission is to add the option to use blood to mix with the product prior to implantation. Changes were also made to the product trade name and the labeled volume sizes.
## Performance Data
In support of this submission, testing was conducted to compare the fluid absorbability of the product when mixed with blood compared to saline. Device packability and handling characteristics were also observed during testing. Testing was conducted at time zero and after aging. All test results were passing, supporting substantial equivalence of the modified device compared to the predicate device. No changes were made to the product composition, packaging, sterility, or biocompatibility as compared to the predicate device. The performance testing results demonstrated that the FIBERGRAFT ™ BG Morsels is substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
## Substantial Equivalence
The indications for use and the fundamental scientific technology of the proposed FIBERGRAFT™ BG Morsels product has not changed relative to the predicate. The FIBERGRAFT™ BG Morsels has the same intended use, indications, and technological characteristics as the previously cleared BG Morsels, and similar principles of operation. The FIBERGRAFT™ BG Morsels is manufactured using the same material, has the same shelf life, and is packaged and sterilized using the same materials and processes as the predicate, demonstrating substantial equivalence to the predicate device. Performance testing of the modified FIBERGRAFT™ BG Morsels demonstrated that the device functions as intended without raising new safety or effectiveness questions compared to the previously cleared BG Morsels.
## Conclusion
The FIBERGRAFT™ BG Morsels is an osteoconductive, resorbable, biocompatible bone graft substitute composed of crystalline bioactive glass. The purpose of this Special 510(k) is to add the option to use blood as a mixing agent to the labeling. In addition, the labeled
{5}------------------------------------------------
volume sizes and the product name of the subject device have been modified since the previously cleared predicate. The verification and process qualification testing confirms that these changes meet the acceptance criteria in testing. Thus, the proposed FIBERGRAFT™ BG Morsels is substantially equivalent to its predicate.

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.
