## 5.2 Equivalent Predicate Comparators
## 5.3 Indications for Use
The intended use of the Midmark EOIS is to provide dental radiographic examination to aid in the diagnosis of diseases of the teeth, iaw and oral structures. When the system is equipped with the cephalometric option, the system will provide cephalometric radiographic examinations for use in orthodontic treatment planning and evaluation. When the system is equipped with the CBCT option, the system will also provide volumetric and tomographic images of the oral and maxillofacial region, for diagnostic examination of teeth, jaws, oral structures, and some cranial bones.
## 5.4 Device Description
The Midmark Extraoral Imaging System (EOIS) is a diagnostic X-ray system using an extraoral source intended for dental radiographic examination and diagnosis of diseases for the following regions of the patient's anatomy:
- . dental (teeth)
- . oral and maxillofacial region (mouth and jaw)
It produces the following radiographic images:
- . Panoramic (PAN) images used for diagnostic examination of dentition (teeth), jaws and oral structures.
- Cephalometric (CEPH) images of maxillofacial region and parts of the skull for CEPH examination, if equipped with the CEPH feature.
- . Carpal images assisting in estimating bone-age, if equipped with the CEPH feature, and when the carpal attachment is used.
{5}------------------------------------------------
- . Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) volumetric and tomographic images of the oral and maxillofacial region for diagnostic examination of dentition (teeth), jaws, oral structures, and some cranial bones, if equipped with the CBCT small or medium feature.
The main modality is limited to PAN radiographic images but can be upgraded by installing the CEPH imaging feature, allowing the device to provide CEPH radiographic images for use in orthodontic treatment planning and evaluation. This extension is also intended to allow carpal imaging to assist in estimating bone-age.
The Midmark EOIS can be upgraded by installing a 3D option allowing the device to produce computed volumetric and tomographic images of the listed above anatomy regions by computed tomographic reconstruction of the digital X-ray data. The X-ray data is captured by two dimensional images taken by exposing the patient anatomy at different anales with a cone shaped X-ray beam. Reconstruction software converts these two-dimensional images into a three-dimensional data set.
EOIS is also available with CEPH and CBCT modalities at the time of purchase. The table below shows available configurations.
## System Configurations:
- 1. V8001, Extraoral Imaging System, Panoramic
- 2. V8011, Extraoral Imaging System, Panoramic and Cephalometric
- 3. V8101, Extraoral Imaging System, Small CBCT
- 4. V8111, Extraoral Imaging System, Small CBCT and Cephalometric
- 5. V8201, Extraoral Imaging System, Medium CBCT
- 6. V8211. Extraoral Imagina System. Medium CBCT and Cephalometric
#### Upgrade Kits:
- 1. V8010, Cephalometric Feature Upgrade
- 2. V8100, Small CBCT Feature Upgrade
- 3. V8200, Medium CBCT Feature Upgrade
From a clinical point of view, the Midmark EOIS can be applied for the following medical applications:
- . Generic dentistry
- Dental implantology .
- . Dental surgery
- Maxillofacial surgery
- . CEPH analysis
- . Carpus radiology (for determining skeletal age)
The target patient population includes adults and pediatric patients. Joint FDA and ADA guidance describes the earliest appropriate age for panoramic imaging to be the eruption of the first permanent tooth, and FDA has indicated these guidelines also apply to CBCT imaging.
{6}------------------------------------------------
The device is intended to be used by a qualified and authorized dentist or physician who meets the requirements provided by national and local laws in force in the country of installation; the operator must understand the language of the country where the device is installed.
The Midmark EOIS consists of the following components.
Image /page/6/Picture/3 description: The image shows a diagram of a dental x-ray machine and its components. The diagram includes a computer (1), the x-ray machine itself (2), a lead apron (3), and a control panel (4). The components are connected by lines to indicate their relationship to the overall system. The diagram provides a visual representation of the equipment used in dental radiography.
1 Workstation -The imaging workstation is provided for the 3D unit only. The workstation external PC allows the operator to perform these procedures:
- . image visualization and post processing
- . database management
- . review, annotate images, and studies
- . associate images and studies to patients
2 Midmark EQIS - The Midmark EOIS is a diagnostic X-ray system utilizing an extraoral source intended for dental radiographic examination and diagnosis of diseases for teeth, mouth and jaw.
3 Handswitch - The handswitch is a control connected to the cable entrance board intended to initiate and stop the X-ray irradiation when the operator remains in the vicinity of, but a safe distance from the EOIS.
4 Remote Exposure Station - The remote exposure station is a control device connected to the cable entrance board intended to initiate and stop the X-ray irradiation when the operator remains outside of the EOIS vicinity
The EOIS software is considered to be of Moderate Level of Concern and consists of the device driver and CBCT visualization software. The device driver is composed of the following subsystems:
- . Reconstruction Engines take projection images consisting of radiological data and reconstructs them, resulting in a 3D dataset composed of reconstructed projection images processed using user-selectable acquisition parameters. This feature is new with the EOIS device.
{7}------------------------------------------------
- The system offers a choice between a reconstruction based only on Filtered o Back Projection (FBP) and one based on fully iterative reconstruction. The algorithm used for iterative reconstruction starts with the FBP scan data and generates projection images that it expects would be produced from the imaging of the selected volume. These images are used to evaluate the correctness of the reconstruction volume by comparing the simulated projection images to those acquired by the scanner. A metric is calculated for the correctness of the reconstructed volume and reconstruction progresses with a two-pass correction to rectify beam-hardening, scatter subtraction, and image regularization.
- Acquisition Manager provides the communications exchange between non-● software subsystems and the software subsystem. It is responsible for delivering the image data from the digital sensor, through the appropriate reconstruction engine, and to the client API. In addition, it is responsible for the information relationship between the operator control panel software, real-time controller, and the connected digital sensor(s). This subsystem has been previously cleared.
- . Operator Control Panel Software is used from the operator control panel to facilitate exams and service the system. It communicates with the acquisition manager software. This subsystem has been previously cleared.
- . Client API provides a facility for connecting to the EOIS system and acquiring a radiological image. The Client API performs image post-processing and other tasks related to the transfer of images to an image management application. In the case of a cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) capable system, a dedicated 2D/3D visualization software application is provided (referred to as Visualization Software.) This subsystem has been previously cleared.
For an EOIS system that includes the cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) feature, dedicated visualization software is provided. This software is new to the EOIS device and facilitates acquiring exams for all supported modalities of the system. It includes a patient database, image storage, and post-acquisition image processing functionality. The software provides interoperability via an exportable DICOM (Digital Imaging Communication in Medicine) dataset.
The main differences between the EOIS device and predicate systems are the CBCT mode of operation and new digital detectors.
EOIS has three distinct image acquisition modes: Panoramic, Cephalometric and CBCT. CBCT-capable image receptors used in EOIS can take a panoramic radiograph which results in just one detector in EOIS CBCT systems with panoramic imaging and two detectors when cephalometric imaging is added.
Acteon X-Mind Trium also has three modes: Panoramic, Cephalometric and CBCT. CBCTcapable image receptors used in Acteon X-Mind Trium do not have enough vertical resolution to support a panoramic radiograph. Therefore, a separate panoramiccapable image receptor must be used, which results in Acteon X-Mind Trium having two detectors in CBCT systems with panoramic capability and three detectors in those with added cephalometric capability.
Vantage has just two modes: Panoramic and Cephalometric. Vantage does not have a CBCT mode of operation.

## 5.6 Non-clinical Performance Data
Non-clinical evaluations were performed for the EOIS. A summary of testing and results is
shown in the table below.
| Testing | Results |
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| Medical electrical safety testing, including<br>X-ray safety, electromagnetic<br>compatibility, and usability (IEC 60601<br>standards) | Passed; the results of the third-party<br>testing demonstrate compliance of<br>the device to the standards. |
| Imaging performance testing<br>(IEC 61223-3-4) | Internal verification testing was performed<br>in accordance with IEC 61223-3-4, and all<br>acceptance criteria were met. |
| Dose comparison evaluation, including<br>predicate comparison, diagnostic<br>reference level (DRL) comparison, and<br>literature review. | Midmark EOIS was shown to produce<br>similar or less radiation dosage than<br>comparable devices on market. |
| CBCT modality testing, including iterative<br>reconstruction performance, implant<br>performance, geometric normalization,<br>QC (DIN 6868-161), and uniform phantom<br>performance | CBCT-related functionality performs<br>according to specifications and produces<br>images of acceptable quality. |
# 5.7 Clinical Performance Data
The clinical testing performed for the EOIS consisted of a) an Image Performance study that evaluated image quality by having qualified clinicians evaluate images of phantoms and b) a usability study that examined use-related hazards with simulated use testing involving qualified clinicians.
# Image Performance Study
The clinical acceptability of Midmark EOIS panoramic, cephalometric, and CBCT images was assessed by a panel of dental practitioners. Images were generated using head and
{13}------------------------------------------------
hand phantoms, provided to the clinicians and then rated for diagnostic acceptability. Results showed that all EOIS imaging protocols provided overall acceptable image quality.
## Usability
The usability of the EOIS, as it relates to safety, was evaluated by 18 participants consisting of hygienists, dental assistants, and dentists. Participants were observed interfacing with the device to operate all imaging protocols and were also interviewed after. Results demonstrate that the final interface design of the EOIS facilitates safety for operators.
# 5.8 Conclusion
The Midmark EOIS is substantially equivalent to other legally marketed devices in the United States in terms of technical characteristics, intended use, and effectiveness; specifically, the Acteon X-MIND TRIUM system and the Progeny Vantage Panoramic X-ray System.

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.
