Indications for Use
When used as a cervical intervertebral body fusion implant, the Interbody Fusion (IBF)/ Vertebral Body Replacement (VBR) System ("IBF/VBR System") is indicated for intervertebral body fusion of the spine in skeletally mature patients. Cervical IBFs are intended for use at one level in the cervical spine, from the C2 to C3 intervertebral body space to the C7 to T1 intervertebral body space, for the treatment of cervical disc disease (defined as neck pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies). Cervical IBFs are to be used in patients who have had six weeks of non-operative treatment. IBFs are designed for use with autogenous bone graft and/or allogenic bone graft comprised of cancellous, cortical, and/or corticocancellous bone graft to facilitate fusion. IBFs are intended to be used with supplemental spinal fixation cleared for the implanted level. When used as a lumbar intervertebral body fusion implant, the Interbody Fusion (IBF) / Vertebral Body Replacement (VBR) System ("IBF/VBR System") is indicated for intervertebral body fusion of the spine in skeletally mature patients. Lumbar IBFs are intended for use at either one level or two contiguous levels in the lumbar spine, from L2 to S1 intervertebral body space, for the treatment of degenerative disc disease (DDD) with up to Grade 1 spondylolisthesis. DDD is defined as back pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies. Lumbar IBFs are to be used in patients who have had six months of non-operative treatment. IBFs are designed for use with autogenous bone and/or allogenic bone graft comprised of cancellous and/or corticocancellous bone graft to facilitate fusion. IBFs are intended to be used with supplemental spinal fixation cleared for the implanted level. When used as a vertebral body replacement (VBR) implant, the Interbody Fusion (IBF) / Vertebral Body Replacement (VBR) System ("IBF/VBR System") is intended for use in the thoracolumbar spine, from T1 to L5, for partial replacement (i.e., partial vertebrectomy) of a diseased vertebral body resected or excised for the treatment of tumors in order to achieve anterior decompression of the spinal cord and neural tissues, and to restore the height of a collapsed vertebral body. VBRs are also indicated for treating fractures of the thoracic and lumbar spine. VBRs are designed to restore the biomechanical integrity of the anterior, middle and posterior spinal column, even in the absence of fusion for a prolonged period of time. The system is intended to be used with supplemental fixation cleared for the conditions listed above (i.e., tumor or trauma of T1 to L5). Additionally, the VBR implant is intended to be used with bone graft.

Summary of The technological characteristics remain unchanged since K150521. As stated above, the purpose of this 510(k) submission is to modify the Technological K150521 indications for use statement only; the subject system is Characteristics: equivalent in terms of design, materials, surgical approaches, sterilization and packaging as compared to K150521.
Performance No new performance data was provided to support substantial Data Supporting equivalence. Instead, a literature analysis of published clinical data for the Substantial lumbar interbody fusion devices similar to the predicate device Rotate, Equivalence Bullet-Tip, T-Plus, Contact, Cross-Fuse, and Cross-Fuse II (K150521) Determination: was provided in support of the expanded Indications for Use. The published clinical outcomes demonstrated that the use of allogenic bone graft comprised of cancellous and/or corticocancellous bone graft, in lumbar interbody fusion procedures to treat patients diagnosed with lumbar disc disease, as defined, poses no new risks to patients. Performance data was also not required in the removal of the spinal fixation system trade names, as this is only an administrative change.
> No changes were made to the existing devices, nor were any new components added to the system. There were no changes to the sterilization, shelf life and packaging as presented in K150521. However, pvorgenicity evaluation of the sterile implants has been added based on recent Agency guidance. Pyrogenicity of the device was evaluated using the Limulus Amoebocyte Lysate (LAL) assay on the final sterilized device. The device did not elicit a response. All device lots will be tested to ensure the endotoxin level is 20 EU/device.
{8}------------------------------------------------
- Conclusion: The subject indications for use changes to the predicate K150521 system does not raise new issues of safety or effectiveness. The device itself remains unchanged and will perform as safe and as effective as previously cleared. A literature analysis was performed and no new performance data was required to support substantial equivalence.

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.
