Device Story
InterOss is an osteoconductive bone grafting material derived from Australian bovine bone; processed to remove organic components; resulting in a porous hydroxyapatite scaffold. Used in dental/oral surgery; applied by clinicians to bony voids or gaps to facilitate new bone ingrowth; gradually resorbs and is replaced by host bone. Supplied as granules in glass vials or a polymer syringe-like applicator; wetted with patient blood or saline before placement. Syringe applicator allows precise delivery. Sterilized by gamma irradiation. Benefits include structural support for bone regeneration in periodontal and alveolar defects.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing included physical/chemical characterization (XRD, FTIR, SEM, ICP, BET surface area, porosity, solubility, pH, compressive strength). Biocompatibility testing followed ISO 10993 (LLNA sensitization, Micronucleus/AMES genotoxicity, intracutaneous reactivity, pyrogenicity, hemolysis, acute systemic toxicity, cytotoxicity). In-vivo performance evaluated in a critical-sized supra-alveolar ridge defect study in beagles (n=33 total). Primary endpoints: percent mineralized volume, mineralized density, and histomorphometry (residual implant, bone marrow). Results showed InterOss was statistically equivalent to Bio-Oss and superior to empty controls in bone formation; no significant differences in biocompatibility or healing parameters.
Indicated for patients requiring bone grafting for alveolar ridge augmentation, filling of infrabony periodontal defects, defects post-root resection/apicocectomy/cystectomy, extraction socket preservation, maxillary sinus floor elevation, and peri-implant defects, often in conjunction with GTR/GBR procedures.

# General Description
InterOss® is a hydroxyapatite material derived from Australian bovine bone. The osteoconductive mineral structure is produced from bone through a multi-step purification process. Following placement in bony voids or gaps, InterOss acts as an osteoconductive scaffold for the ingrowth of adjacent viable bone. InterOss® gradually resorbs and is replaced with bone during the healing process.
InterOss® is available in granule form and is packaged in vials or a syringe-like applicator.
{4}------------------------------------------------
InterOss®, in the vial form, will be available to the United States market in 8 versions: Filled with 0.25g, 0.5g, 1.0g, 2.0g, or 5.0g of small granules (0.25 - 1.0mm) or filled with 0.5g, 1.0g, or 2.0g of large granules (1.0 - 2.0mm).
InterOss , in the syringe-like applicator form, will be available to the United States market in 6 versions: Filled with 0.25cc, 0.5cc, or 1.0cc of small granules (0.25 - 1.0mm) or filled with 0.5cc, 1.0cc, or 1.5cc of large granules (1.0mm - 2.0mm).
The syringe-like applicator was designed to deliver InterOss® granules more precisely to the intended treatment site without having to use other sterile instruments. The InterOss® granules can be wetted with either the patient's blood or sterile physiological saline solution back and then pressing down on the plunger. A removable filter cap prevents granules from falling out of the syringe-like applicator during storage and wetting.
During the manufacturing process of InterOss®, the granules are placed into a polymer syringe-like applicator or a glass vial, the vial or syringe is then capped with a rubber cap (the vial is also sealed with an aluminum cap), packaged into a polyethylene terephthalate tray, covered with a Tyvek lid, sealed, and then sterilized by gamma irradiation. The sterilized device is place in a protective package (outer box) along with its Instructions for Use and doctors notes.
All InterOss® products are supplied sterile and are intended for single use only.

### Product Testing
- a. Physical
The crystallinity ratio (106%), phase purity (100% hydroxyapatite), and Ca/P ratio (1.67) of InterOss® was assessed using X-ray diffraction. Additionally, phase analysis of InterOss® using Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy confirmed the presence of hydroxyapatite. The morphology (granular and porous), average granule size (568 um and 1625 um for small and large granules respectively), and pore interconnectivity (positive for pore interconnectivity) of InterOss was assessed using scanning electron microscopy. Inductively coupled plasma analysis was used to confirm the absence of heavy metals in InterOss . the elution of Ca (0.533 ± 0.016 at 3 days, 0.322 ± 0.012 at 7 days, and 0.366 ± 0.024 at 14 days) and P (3.723 ± 0.004 at 3 days, 6.277 ± 0.079 at 7 days, and 5.865 ± 0.019 at 14 days) from InterOss® small granules, and the elution of Ca (0.513 ± 0.018 at 3 days, 0.315 ± 0.009 at 7 days, and 0.351 ± 0.021 at 14 days) and P (3.640 ± 0.085 at 3 days, 6.241 ± 0.041 at 7 days, and 5.847 ± 0.019 at 14 days) from InterOss® large granules. The Barrett-Jonhner-Halenda method was used to determine the pore size (149.1660 Å for small granules and 47.3236 Å for large granules) of InterOss®. The surface area of InterOss® small (114.4452 m²/g) and large (109.0581 m²/g) granules was determined using the Brunauer-Emmett-Teller method. The solubility of InterOss® was found to be 74.274 ± 13.599 µg/mm3 for small granules and 70.247 ± 12.612 µg/mm3 for large granules and the average pH of InterOss® was found to be 7.86 ± 0.05 for small granules and 7.83 ± 0.05 for large granules. Lastly, the average compressive strength of InterOss® was found to be 1.00 MPa for small granules and 1.17 MPa for large granules.
{6}------------------------------------------------
Additionally, the physiochemical properties (pore structure, microstructure, phase structure, chemical composition, and residual organic substance) of InterOss® and Bio-Oss® were found to be comparable.
#### Biocompatibility b.
None of the tested animals exhibited abnormal clinical signs indicative of toxicity during test period for the Skin Sensitization test (LLNA; Stimulation Index = 1.03±0.26). InterOss® was determined to be non-mutagenic via the Micronucleus and AMES test. No skin reactions to InterOss® were observed for the Intracutaneous Reactivity Test. InterOss® was determined to be non-pyrogenic. The hemolysis test indicates that InterOss® does not cause a hemolytic reaction. InterOss was determined to be non-toxic and non-cytotoxic based upon the results of the Acute Systemic Injection Test and Cytotoxicity Test, respectively. Inteross® was also considered negative for signs of systemic toxicity due to leachable compounds. Additionally, InterOss® passed sterility test and Bacterial Endotoxin (LAL) tests.
Lastly, we performed an extractables test ( <0.097 mg/device ethyl ether, 0.04 mg/device bis(2ethylhexyl) phthalate, <0.00002 mg/device Chromium, <0.000038 mg/device Copper, 0.08 mg/device Silica, and 0.0008 mg/device Zinc), a second LAL test (<0.005 EU/mL or <0.232 EU/device), and a Minimum Essential Media test on extractables from the syringe (No cell lysis, intraplasmic granules) to evaluate the biocompatibility of the syringe like adapter.
- c. Animal Testing
This study was conducted for SigmaGraft, Inc., to evaluate the in-vivo performance of SigmaGraft's bone void filler, InterOss®, in a dental application. The relative performance of InterOss® was compared against the predicate device, Bio-Oss®, and an empty control in a welldocumented critical sized supra-alveolar ridge defect study in beagles. Four treatment groups of beagle dogs, three groups of nine and one group of six, underwent a surgical procedure to implant the predicate or test device into critical sized defects of the right and left mandible (P3 and P4 regions) or were left empty after drilling into the remaining bone immediately after tooth extraction. The predicate or test device was implanted into the defect site on Day 0. The animals remained on study for 4, 8, or 12 weeks.
Observations for morbidity, mortality, injury, and the availability of food and water were
{7}------------------------------------------------
conducted twice daily for all animals. Clinical observations were conducted daily during Week 1 and weekly thereafter. Body weights were measured and recorded prior to surgery and weekly. Physical examinations were conducted pretest to ensure that animals were healthy prior to being placed in the study. With the exception of animal numbers 109, 129 and 131 which underwent repair surgery due to exposure of the implant site resulting from the sutures tearing out through the gingiva, there were no unexpected or noteworthy clinical observations noted during the course of this study. All animals survived to study termination in good health.
At study termination, Faxitron images were obtained and necropsy examinations were performed. The right and left hemi-mandibles (along with the implantation sites and surrounding bone) were collected and analyzed using micro-computed tomography to determine percent mineralized volume and mineralized densities of the samples. Samples were then processed for undecalcified histology and analyzed microscopically by Alizée Pathology, LLC using semi-quantitative histology scoring and histomorphometry.
By all the parameters assessed in this twelve week study, biocompatibility and healing of InterOss® treated defects were indistinguishable from those treated with the Predicate, Bio Oss® and in some cases, superior to untreated defects. Radiographic comparison of graft resorption and boney integration demonstrated similar mean scores for both the Predicate and Test Articles. Likewise, no statistical differences were observed between the Test Article and Predicate with respect to percent mineralized volume and density. Moreover, when compared to the critical sized empty controls, both InterOss® and Bio-Oss® showed statistically greater amounts of bone present within the defect sites and appeared to help preserve the mesial and distal alveolar walls of the defect. Although some migration of the Test and Predicate materials were observed, the overall loss of this material did not appear to compromise the performance of the Test Article or Predicate as compared to leaving the defect unfilled. Histomorphometry also supported the similarity in performance of the Test Article to the Predicate as no statistically significant differences were observed with regards to percent residual implant and percent bone marrow values.
Microscopic examination of the implant slides also demonstrated equivalent performance between the Test Article and Predicate. In general, the average amount of residual implant material remaining within the defect site and surrounding soft tissue was similar for both the
{8}------------------------------------------------
Predicate and Test Article with a slight temporal decrease in value from 4 to 12 weeks (Group 3), with the exception of a slight increase in implant material at 12 weeks in the Test Article treatment over the amount found at 8 weeks. While not significantly different, InterOss® had a higher mean percent bone value as compared to Bio-Oss® at 4, 8 and 12 weeks. At 4, 8, and 12 weeks (Group 3), rare instances of polymorphonuclear cells (neutrophils) were noted and, more commonly, macrophages and multinucleated giant cells were found surrounding the implant material in the Test Article and Predicate Control treatments. The Negative Controls had a low incidence of neutrophils at 4 weeks, macrophages at 4, 8, and 12 weeks (Group 3), and a low incidence of multinucleated giant cells at 12 weeks (Group 3). The amount of inflammation present was on the low end of the spectrum and is indicative of a good biocompatibility response that would not interfere with healing. No evidence of necrosis was found in any of the treatment groups at 4, 8 or 12 weeks. Fibrosis scores tended to be equivalent or slightly higher, but not significant, in the Test Article treated sites as compared to the Predicate. No incidences of fatty infiltrate associated with fibrosis were observed for any treatment and neovascularization tended to be variable between the treatments and time points with no major differences or trends.
#### Basis for Substantial Equivalence
InterOss and predicates have similar physical and chemical structures. Both are porous, biocompatible bone grafts that facilitate the formation and mineralization of new bone by the osteoblast. As both products have same source of bone (bovine source) and similar process for removal of organic compounds, the product is substantially equivalent to the predicates.

# Summary of Data to Support Substantial Equivalence
InterOss was the subjected to the full range of biocompatibility test recommended in the FDA's "Class II Special Controls Guidance Documents: Dental Bone Grafting Devices" and in accordance with ISO 10993. Test results confirmed product safety. Organic material has been removed from the product and product specifications have been established to limit protein content. InterOss® passed the TSE inactivation validation and virus inactivation test. Furthermore, the product is sterilized to achieve a sterility assurance level SAL 1 X10-°.
The results of these studies confirm the substantial equivalence of InterOss® to its predicate devices.
# Conclusion
InterOss® presents the same types of potential risks to consumers as the predicate device Bio-Oss® and has controlled these risks in a similar manner. Biocompatibility test show that the device meets the requirements of those standards. Chemical and physical characterization tests, as well as pre-clinical data, show that the device is substantially equivalent. Comparison with the predicate device shows that the device has similar specification and performance. Therefore, it is concluded that InterOss® is substantially equivalent to the predicate device.

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.

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.
Try it yourself
Head to the search page and work through a few of these AI/ML fuzzy searches to build intuition: perivascular fat on CT · aortic valve calcification opportunistic screening on noncontrast CT · breast cancer prediction on digital pathology slides · autism detection · gestational age prediction · a hearing aid that can also detect a pulse · foundation model based analysis of ECG · large language models · penetration test. Watch how the relevance scores, intended use, and AI Performance tables tell you when results stop being meaningful.
