Indications for Use
Dental implant abutments are intended to be used in the upper or lower jaw and used for supporting tooth replacements to restore chewing function. The abutments in combination with endosseous implants are used as the foundation for anchoring tooth replacements in either jaw. Intended for fully edentulous jaw retaining a tissue supported overdenture.
Device Story
The MIS LOCKiT Abutments System, OT-Equators, and Ball Attachments are dental implant abutments used to connect overdentures to endosseous dental implants. The system consists of titanium abutments with a titanium nitride (TiN) coating. The abutments are threaded directly into the implant. They are available in narrow, standard, and wide platforms with varying gingival heights. The device is used by dental clinicians in a clinical setting to provide a foundation for removable prosthetic devices. The abutments facilitate the insertion and removal of overdentures. By providing a stable connection between the implant and the prosthetic, the device restores masticatory function for the patient. The system supports specific angulation corrections (up to 15° per implant, 30° total divergence) to accommodate implant placement.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data provided. Substantial equivalence is supported by bench testing, including fatigue testing per ISO 14801:2016, sterilization validation per ANSI/AAMI/ISO 17665, and disinfection validation per ANSI/AAMI/ISO 11737-1.
Technological Characteristics
Materials: Titanium 6Al-4V ELI (ASTM F136). Surface: Titanium Nitride (TiN) coating. Connection: Conical or Internal Hex. Platforms: Narrow, Standard, Wide. Sterilization: Non-sterile, validated for user steam sterilization (gravity/pre-vacuum). Fatigue testing performed per ISO 14801:2016.
Indications for Use
Indicated for use in patients requiring prosthetic support for artificial teeth in the upper or lower jaw to restore masticatory function. Suitable for fully edentulous jaws for tissue-supported overdentures. Narrow implants (Ø3.3mm & UNO) indicated for mandibular central/lateral incisors and maxillary lateral incisors in partially edentulous jaws; must be splinted if adjacent. Contraindicated for immediate loading in M4 short implants (delayed loading only).

#### 5. Device Description
#### a. MIS LOCKiT Abutments System
MIS LOCKiT abutments system contains titanium abutments coated with titanium nitride (TiN). MIS LOCKIT abutments system is intended to be used in completely edentulous jaws and connects to an overdenture to allow its insertion and removal.
MIS LOCKiT abutments connect directly to the implant by their threading. MIS LOCKiT abutments are available in three different platforms (narrow platform (NP), standard platform (SP) and wide platform (WP)) and two connection types (conical connection and internal hex connection). LOCKiT abutments system contains straight abutments only.
MIS LOCKiT abutments are provided in the following gingival heights:
- . Narrow platform: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 mm
- . Standard platform: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 mm
- Wide platform: . 1, 3, 5 mm
MIS LOCKIT internal hex connection abutments are compatible with MIS internal hex implants cleared under K040807 and K180282 (M4, LANCE and SEVEN Systems).
MIS LOCKiT conical connection abutments are compatible with MIS implants cleared under K112162, K163349 and K172505 (C1 and V3 Systems).
#### b. OT-Equators and Ball Attachments
Ball Attachments and OT-Equators are used to connect to an overdenture bar to allow its insertion and removal. They are connected directly to the implant by their distal threading, and are mostly used in complete edentulous jaws. The main difference between them is that ball attachments have a higher profile and ball shaped head, while the OT-equators have a lower profile and a truncated head. Both are made from Titanium 6Al-4V ELI and feature a Titanium Nitride (TiN) coating for increased resistance to wear.
Internal hex OT-Equators and Ball Attachments are available in three different platforms (narrow platform (NP), standard platform (SP) and wide platform (WP) and are available in the following gingival heights:
- . Narrow platform: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 mm
- . Standard platform: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 mm

#### 7. Substantial Equivalence Discussion
#### a. MIS LOCKiT Abutments System:
The predicate device for the Conical Connection MIS LOCKiT abutments is MIS Conical Connection Equators cleared under K163349 and K172505, while the predicate device for the Internal Hex Connection MIS LOCKiT abutments is the MIS Internal Hex Connection Equators recently cleared under K180282. Two reference devices for MIS LOCKIT abutments are also included, specifically, the Zest Locator® Implants Attachments (K072878) and MIS CONNECT Concal Connection Abutment (K173326). All devices have identical intended use. The indications listed for the LOCKiT are identical to the indications for MIS Equators and do not meaningfully differ from the Zest Locator.
All abutments are made from titanium or its alloy, and undergo TiN coating. In regards to the distal geometry, the conical implant connection geometry for the Conical Connection MIS LOCKIT is identical to the MIS Conical Connection Equators while the internal hex connection is equivalent to MIS Internal Hex Connection Equators. The subject and the predicate devices are available in the same gingival heights - 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 mm (both conical and internal hex connection, narrow and standard platform) and 1, 3, 5 mm (both conical and internal hex connections, wide platform).
MIS CONNECT Conical Connection Abutments and Zest Locator® Implants Attachments were chosen as a reference device in terms of fatigue limit. MIS LOCKIT abutment (internal hexagon connection, NP and SP) were tested in order to determine the fatigue limit value of an implant-abutment assembly. The endurance limit for the LOCKiT assembly was compared with the corresponding worst case for CONNECT and Zest Locator® systems.

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.

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.
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.
