Indications for Use
Oral Bond is indicated to be used as an adjunct to temporally assist in securing periodontal dressings.
Device Story
Oral Bond is a sterile, liquid dental cement composed of 2-octyl cyanoacrylate, a viscosity-increasing agent, stabilizer, and colorant. Supplied in a multiuse vial, it is applied by a dentist to secure periodontal dressings. Upon contact with water, saliva, or alcohol-containing fluids, the monomer polymerizes into a hard adhesive. The device is designed with a slower working and setting time compared to the predicate to facilitate handling and reduce exothermic heat generation, enhancing patient comfort. It is intended for professional use in a dental clinic setting. The clinician applies the adhesive to the target area, ensuring runoff is managed with cotton gauze. The device benefits the patient by providing a temporary, stable bond for periodontal dressings.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data. Substantial equivalence is supported by bench testing, including physical property comparisons (bonding strength, thermal/electrical conductivity, heat generation during setting, and viscosity) and biocompatibility testing (cytotoxicity via ISO agarose overlay method).
Indicated for use as an adjunct to temporally assist in securing periodontal dressings. Contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to cyanoacrylate or formaldehyde; must not contact the conjunctival sac.

#### PREDICATE DEVICE
The predicate device is PeriAcryl.
#### DEVICE DESCRIPTION
Oral Bond is a sterile, liquid dental cement containing a monomeric (2-octyl cyanoacrylate) formulation with a viscosity increasing agent, stabilizer, and colorant (D&C Violet #2 or D&C Yellow #10) . Oral Bond is supplied in a multiuse vial. The liquid is syrup-like in viscosity and polymerizes within seconds after contact with water.
INDICATIONS FOR USE: Oral Bond is indicated to be used as an adjunct to temporally assist in securing periodontal dressings.
{4}------------------------------------------------
#### WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS:
Oral Bond is a fast setting adhesive capable of adhering to most bodily tissue and many other materials, such as latex gloves and stainless steel. Inadvertent contact with any body tissue, and any surfaces or equipment that are not disposable or that cannot be readily cleaned with a solvent such as acetone should be avoided.
Polymerization of Oral Bond adhesive may be accelerated by water, saliva or fluids containing alcohol.
It is advised that protective eyewear be provided all patients to prevent Oral Bond coming in contact with the eye. Care must be taken that Oral Bond does not come I contact with the cornea of the eye or into the conjunctival sac where it could cause adhesions. If contact with the eye occurs, flush the eye copiously with saline or water. If residual adhesive remains, apply typical ophthalmic ointment to help loosen the bond and contact and ophthalmologist.
When applying Oral Bond position the patient so any runoff is absorbed by the surrounding cotton gauze. Prevent Oral Bond from flowing past the intended materials that are intended to be bonded.
Once the applicator tip is applied to the syringe express a small amount of Oral Bond outside of the patient's mouth in order to avoid an accidental excessive application of the material in the patient's oral cavity.
If unintended bonding of skin occurs, peel but do not pull the skin apart. Petroleum jelly or acetone may help loosen the bond. Other agents such as water or saline are not expected to immediately loosen the bond.
#### CONTRAINDICATIONS:
Do not use in patients with a known hypersensitivity to cyanoacrylate or formaldehyde. Oral Bond must not come in contact with the conjunctival sac since conglutination may occur.
Federal law restricts this device for sale on the order of a dentist.

### PREDICATE DEVICE COMPARISON DISCUSSION
Oral Bond and the predicate device Periacryl both contain 2-octyl cyanoacrylate. PeriAcryl is a combination butyl and octyl cyanoacrylate. Butyl cyanoacrylate is known to be more cytotoxic that 2-octyl cyanoacrylate. Oral Bond and PeriAcryl utilize a process of adding agents to stabilize the polymerization of the cyanoacrylate and agents to increase viscosity and impart color. Oral Bond and all listed predicate devices will produce similar physical properties with similar tissue responses. The classification and indications for use are identical for both Oral Bond and PeriAcryl.
There are minor differences between the two products. Oral Bond is sterile and PeriAcryl is not sterile. The working time and set times were designed to be slower for Oral Bond than PeriAcryl in order to allow more time for dispensing and handling the material but also the slower working time and set time is beneficial because this reduces the heat generated during setting which can be significant for patient comfort if the periodontal dressing is being applied to teeth that are not anesthetized.
2-octyl cyanoacrylate has been proven to be suitable as a topical adhesive for many years.
The differences between the two devices are not critical to the intended therapeutic use of the device and the differences do not affect equivalence
### CONCLUSION
Steiner Biotechnology, has demonstrated that, for the purposes of FDA's regulation of medical devices, the subject device, Oral Bond, is substantially equivalent to the predicate device in intended use, material composition, physical properties and principles of operation.

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.
