Indications for Use
The APTUS® Foot System is intended for use in small bones, in particular in fractures, osteotomies and arthrodesis of the tarsals, metatarsals and phalanges.
Device Story
APTUS Foot System 'Staple All-in-One' consists of metallic bone staples and integrated, single-use disposable instruments (two drills, drill guide, positioning instrument). Staples are used for internal fixation of small bones in the foot (fractures, osteotomies, arthrodesis). During surgery, the surgeon uses the drill guide and drills to prepare the bone, then implants the staple; the positioning instrument is snapped off after implantation. The system is provided sterile. The device provides mechanical stability to bone segments to facilitate healing. It is intended for use by orthopedic surgeons in a clinical/surgical setting.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data provided. Substantial equivalence is supported by non-clinical bench testing, including sterilization validation (ISO 11137), bacterial endotoxin testing (ANSI AAMI ST72), sterile barrier shelf life testing (ISO 11607, ASTM F1980, etc.), biocompatibility (ISO 10993), and comparative mechanical testing (ASTM F564).
Technological Characteristics
Metallic bone staples made of stainless steel (ISO 5832-1, ASTM F139). Provided as a sterile, single-use set with integrated disposable instruments (drills, drill guide, positioning instrument). Dimensions include 8mm/10mm interaxis distance, 0°/26° offset, and 10mm leg length. Sterilization via ionizing radiation (x-ray).
Indications for Use
Indicated for internal fixation of small bones, specifically fractures, osteotomies, and arthrodesis of the tarsals, metatarsals, and phalanges.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
Single/multiple component metallic bone fixation appliances and accessories are devices intended to be implanted consisting of one or more metallic components and their metallic fasteners. The devices contain a plate, a nail/plate combination, or a blade/plate combination that are made of alloys, such as cobalt-chromium-molybdenum, stainless steel, and titanium, that are intended to be held in position with fasteners, such as screws and nails, or bolts, nuts, and washers. These devices are used for fixation of fractures of the proximal or distal end of long bones, such as intracapsular, intertrochanteric, intercervical, supracondylar, or condylar fractures of the femur; for fusion of a joint; or for surgical procedures that involve cutting a bone. The devices may be implanted or attached through the skin so that a pulling force (traction) may be applied to the skeletal system.

## SUBJECT DEVICE DESCRIPTION
The subject devices are metallic bone staples to be marketed under the name 'Staple All-in-One'' as part of the APTUS® Foot System. The subject device staples are provided in designs to address clinical needs depending on the size and surface of the bone to be fused, and include two sizes and two angulations (or offsets). Each subject device is provided as a set, comprising the staple and a set of attached instruments. The instruments consist of two drill guide, and a positioning instrument. The drills and drill guide are snapped off of the set prior to use of the staple. The positioning instrument is snapped off of the staple after implantation. The subject device staples and instruments are made of stainless steel conforming to ISO 5832-1 and ASTM F139.
## PERFORMANCE DATA
Non-clinical testing data submitted, referenced, or relied upon to demonstrate substantial equivalence included: sterilization validation according to ISO 11137-1, and ISO 11137-3; bacterial endotoxin testing according to ANSI AAMI ST72; sterile barrier shelf life testing according to ISO 11607-1, ISO 11607-2, ASTM F1980, ASTM D4332, ASTM D4169, ASTM F2096, DIN EN 868-5, and ASTM F88/F88M; biocompatibility testing according to ISO 10993-12, ISO 10993-15, and ISO 10993-18: and comparative mechanical testing according to ASTM F564. Clinical data were not provided in this submission.
#### EQUIVALENCE TO MARKETED DEVICE
The subject device is substantially equivalent in indications and design principles to the primary predicate device and the reference device listed above. Provided at the end of this summary is a table comparing the Indications for Use Statements and the technological characteristics of the subject device, the primary predicate device, and the reference device.
The primary predicate device K991566 is for support of substantial equivalence based on a similar Indications for Use Statement (IFUS), similar device design and materials, and performance in side-byside mechanical testing. The reference device K142581 is for the IFUS, which is identical to the subject device; the subject device is an extension to the system cleared in K142581 and K091479.
The subject device, the primary predicate device, and the reference predicate device have the same intended use for internal fixation of the foot. The Indications for Use Statement (IFUS) is identical for the subject device and the reference device K142581. The IFUS for the primary predicate device K991566 is similar to the IFUS for the subject device. The primary predicate device K991566 includes only indications for Akin type osteotomies; this difference does not impact substantial equivalence because both the subject devices cleared in K991566 are intended for fixation of this type of osteotomy.
The subject device and the primary predicate device have technological characteristics and are fabricated from similar stainless steel materials. The subject device and the primary predicate device have similar design characteristics, including leg length, interaxis distance, offset, and thickness/diameter.
The stainless steel material of the subject device in its final finished form is similar to the stainless steel used in Medartis K-wires cleared in K092038 in formulation and processing.
{5}------------------------------------------------
The subject device is provided as a sterile, single-use set, comprising the staple and a set of attached instruments (two drills, drill guide, and positioning instrument). The primary predicate device staples are provided sterile or non-sterile, and a set of corresponding reusable instruments are provided separately. The sterilization method for the primary predicate device is not stated in the 510(k) Summary for K991566. These differences do not impact the safety or effectiveness of the subject device as compared to the primary predicate device because all implants and instruments will be sterile when used clinically.
Mechanical testing according to ASTM F564 demonstrated the subject device to be substantially equivalent to the primary predicate device.
## CONCLUSION
The subject device, the primary predicate device, and the reference device have the same intended use, have similar technological characteristics, and encompass a similar range of physical dimensions appropriate to the anatomy. The subject device and the primary predicate device are made of the same material, and are sterilized using similar methods. The data included in this submission demonstrate substantial equivalence to the primary predicate device K991566 and the reference device K142581.

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.
