Image /page/4/Picture/0 description: The image contains the logo for "dental wings". The logo consists of a stylized blue and gray graphic on the left, followed by the text "dental wings" in a gray, sans-serif font. The graphic is a rounded shape with a blue lower portion and a gray upper portion, creating a modern and clean design.
#### 5.4 Description
The main uses and capabilities of the coDiagnostiX software are unchanged from the primary predicate version.
As in the primary predicate version, it is a software for dental surgical treatment planning. It is designed for the evaluation and analysis of 3-dimensional datasets and the precise image-guided and reproducible preoperative planning of dental surgeries.
The first main steps in its workflow include the patient image data being received from CBCT (Cone Beam Computed Tomography) or CT. The data in DICOM format is then read with the coDiagnostiX DICOM transfer module according to the standard, converted into 3-dimensional datasets and stored in a database.
The pre-operative planning is performed by the computation of several views (such as a virtual Orthopantomogram or a 3-dimensional reconstruction of the image dataset), by the analysis of the image data, and the placement of surgical items (i.e. sleeves, implants) upon the given views. The pre-operative planning is then followed as decided by the design of a corresponding surgical guide that reflects the assigned placement of the surgical items.
Additional functions are available to the user for refinement of the preoperative planning, such as:
- · Active measurement tools, length and angle, for the assessment of surgical treatment options:
- · Nerve module to assist in distinguishing the nervus mandibularis canal;
- 3D sectional views through the jaw for fine adjustment of surgical treatment options; .
- Segmentation module for coloring several areas inside the slice dataset, e.g., jawbone, . native teeth, or types of tissue such as bone or skin, and creating a 3D reconstruction for the dataset;
- Parallelizing function for the adjustment of adjacent images; and
- · Bone densitometry assessment, with a density statistic in areas of interest.
All working steps are automatically saved to the patient file may contain multiple surgical treatment plan proposals which allows the user to choose the ideal surgical treatment plan. The output file of the surgical guide and/or the guided surgical is then generated from the final surgical treatment plan.
coDiagnostiX software allows for surgical guide export to a validated manufacturing center or to the point of care. Manufacturing at the point of care requires a validated process using CAM equipment (additive manufacturing system, including software and associated tooling) and compatible material (biocompatible and sterilizable). A surgical quide may require to be used with accessories.
{5}------------------------------------------------
Image /page/5/Picture/0 description: The image shows the logo for Dental Wings. The logo consists of a stylized icon on the left and the text "dental wings" on the right. The icon is a rounded shape with two colors: gray on the top and blue on the bottom. The text "dental wings" is in a sans-serif font and is gray in color.
The changes with respect to the coDiagnostiX predicate device version are to expand on the different surgical planning tools that can be considered as part of the predicate's general implant planning and surgical planning indications for use. The three tools are:
- a) Planning of a surgical path along a trajectory this provides for a path to be determined that defines the alignment orientation of a surgical item (e.g., an implant and/or instrument).
- b) Planning of a surgical path along a profile this provides for a profile surface to be determined to quide the orientation of a surgical instrument along a profile.
- c) Planning of a form suitable to evaluate surgical preparation or other surgical steps this provides for a procedure to be planned with the corresponding design of a form with geometric features to evaluate the results of a surqical procedure or step.
Such planning may include the design of drill guides (planning a), cutting guides (planning b) and evaluation guides (planning c). Drill guides are manufactured from acrylate, whereby the drilling area is protected by metal. The same applies for the evaluation guides. Cutting guides are manufactured from commercially pure titanium and - if piezo-surgical instruments are applied acrylate. Note that only cutting guides are subject of this submission. Drill guides and evaluation guides are mentioned for informational purposes only. They are not subject to the premarket clearance in this K193301 submission. Manufacturing takes place at Straumann's validated manufacturing center or at the point of care. Manufacturing at the point of care requires a validated process using CAM equipment (additive manufacturing system, including software and associated tooling) and compatible material (biocompatible and sterilizable). A surgical guide may require to be used with accessories are included or referenced in the surgical item library, as well as items which are required to be known for the surgery planning.
These changes were accommodated by changes to the GUI, adding items to the surgical item libraries, and the product's instructions for use to clarify and explain the use of the general surgery planning tool specificities. There are no changes to the base software functionalities or architecture as compared to the predicate device coDiagnostiX software.
# 5.5 Indications for Use of the Subject Device:
coDiagnostiX is an implant planning and surgery planning software tool intended for use by dental professionals who have appropriate knowledge in the field of application. The software reads imaging information output from medical scanners such as CBCT or CT scanners.
It is indicated for pre-operative simulation and evaluation of patient anatomy, dental implant placement, surgical instrument positioning, and surgical treatment options, in edentulous, partial edentulous or dentition situations, which may require a surgical guide. It is further indicated for the user to design such guides for, alone or in combination, the guiding of a surgical path along a trajectory or a profile, or to help evaluate a surgical preparation or step.

equipment (additive manufacturing system, including software and associated tooling) and compatible material (biocompatible and sterilizable). A surgical guide may require to be used with accessories.
#### 5.6 Substantial Equivalence Determination:
The general intended use is identical for both the subject device and primary predicate device. As to the indications for use, the general planning tools indication has been modified for the subject device coDiagnostiX as compared to its predicate device version (K130724), to also indicate three specific planning tool principles or approaches that are available with the software. The subject device also specifies the indicated patient conditions: for use in edentulous, partial edentulous, and dentition conditions. However, this is already included in the labelling of the primary predicate (K130724). Finally, the alternate workflow involving the printouts and manufacturing method using the manually operated gonyX has been removed.
## Similarities and Differences to the Predicate Device
The predicate device coDiagnostiX software version (K130724) is identical or similar to the subject device' technological characteristics with regards to the software, interface requirements, as well as inputs and outputs. The surgical item library has been updated. For manufacturing at the point of care, the acrylate has been replaced by a similar acrylic resin. Central manufacturing of guides made of acrylic resin and commercially pure titanium have been added.
A technological difference is that the subject device proposes the usage of piezo-surgical cutting instruments with acrylic guides. The potential impact on substantial equivalence of this technological difference is addressed by risk analysis and testing. With the non-clinical data obtained this method is considered equivalent to the usage of a state of the art cutting device with a metal guide and does not present any new significant questions of safety or effectiveness.
## Reference Devices
KLS Martin Individual Patient Solution (IPS) Planning System (K182789) has been included as reference device to leverage the increased specificity of general tool indication as part of surgery planning and surgical treatment options. KLS Martin Individual Patient Solution (IPS) Planning System is using the same technologies and methods as the subject device and is describing surgical planning tool specificities for maxillofacial treatments, which include the treatments in the oral-maxillofacial region of the subject device.
Straumann® CARES® Screw-retained Bridge Ti, Straumann® CARES® Dolder® Bar Ti (K112280) has been included as reference device to leverage individual customized titanium guides made of commercially pure titanium using subtractive manufacturing method (centralized milling).
The table below summarizes the similarities and differences between the proposed device, the predicate device, and the reference devices with respect to the intended uses and indications for use, and the device features and specifications:

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.
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.
