## Substantial Equivalence Discussion
TruBase S consists of a two-piece abutment, where the titanium base is a pre-manufactured abutment that will be used to support a CAD/CAM-designed superstructure (the second part of the two-piece abutment) that composes the final abutment.
The subject device is substantially equivalent in indications and design principles to the primary predicate device and the reference devices listed above. Provided tables are comparing the Indications for Use Statements and the technological characteristics of the subject device and the primary predicate device.
The Indications for Use Statement (IFUS) for the subject device (TruBase S) is substantially equivalent in intended use to the primary predicate device (K201197). All are intended for use with endosseous dental implants in the maxilla and mandible to provide functional and esthetic rehabilitation of the edentulous maxilla and mandible.
The Indications for Use Statement (IFUS) for the subject device (TruBase S) is substantially equivalent to that of the primary predicate device (K201197). Slight differences in the language of the subject device and primary predicate device Indications for Use statements do not affect the intended use as an endosseous dental implant abutment for support of a prosthesis to restore chewing function.
The other minor differences are related to the compatible OEM implant lines. None of these minor differences impact substantial equivalence because all IFUS express equivalent intended to use to facilitate dental prosthetic restorations, and the indications are expressed equivalently using different specific wording.
Also, the primary predicate device follows the same digital workflow and utilizes the same materials (Ti-6Al-4V ELI) and inCoris ZI, as the subject device system.
| Design parameter | Subject Device<br>(K201842) | Predicate Device<br>(K201197) |
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------|-----------------------------|-------------------------------|
| Minimum and Maximum<br>abutment angle (°) | 0~15 | 0~15 |
| Minimum and Maximum<br>Cuff Height (mm) | 0.5~5.0 | 0.5~5.0 |
| Minimum and Maximum<br>diameter at<br>abutment/implant interface<br>(Ø, mm) | 5.0~8.0 | 5.0~8.0 |
The subject device and the predicate device design parameter are substantially equivalent.
{12}------------------------------------------------
Image /page/12/Picture/0 description: The image shows a logo for a company called "Abutment". The logo is in blue and white, with the word "Abutment" in a sans-serif font. The logo also includes a stylized image of a screw or bolt. The logo is simple and modern, and it is likely used to represent a company that manufactures or sells screws, bolts, or other fasteners.
| Design parameter | Subject Device<br>(K201842) | Predicate Device<br>(K201197) |
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|-----------------------------|-------------------------------|

| Minimum and Maximum<br>length of abutment post<br>(length above the abutment<br>collar/gingival height)<br>(mm) | 4.0~6.0 | 4.0~6.0 |
Mechanical performance testing was performed according to ISO 14801:2016. For compatible OEM implant lines, worst-case constructs were subjected to static compression fatigue testing. The fatigue limit data for all other implant lines demonstrated the construct strengths to be sufficient for their intended use.
## Non-clinical Testing
The subject device was tested to evaluate its substantial equivalence according to the following standards.
- Fatigue Test according to ISO 14801:2016
Below tests were performed for predicate device (K201197) and leveraged for the subject device:
- End User Steam Sterilization Test according to ISO 17665-1:2006, 17665-2:2009 and ANSI/AAMI ST79:2010.
- Biocompatibility tests according to ISO 10993-1:2009, ISO 10993-5:2009, and ISO 10993-● 10:2010.
Non-clinical test data was used to evaluate the proposed device's substantial equivalence compared to the predicate device. The results of the above tests have met the criteria of the standard, and demonstrated the substantial equivalence with the predicate device.
Comparative fatigue testing of the subject and predicate devices was conducted in accordance with ISO 14801 and FDA Guidance "Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Root-form Endosseous Dental Implants and Endosseous Dental Implant Abutments", and it consisted of testing finished assembled implant/abutment systems of the worst-case scenario, (smallest diameter with maximum angulation) through fatigue testing.
Dimensional analysis and reverse engineering of the implant-to-abutment connection platform were performed, including an assessment of maximum and minimum dimensions of critical design aspects, tolerances, and cross-sectional images of the submission device and compatible OEM implant body, OEM abutment, and OEM fixation screw. The testing demonstrated implant to abutment compatibility and has established substantial equivalency of the proposed device with predicate devices.
Clinical testing was not necessary to establish substantial equivalency of the device.
## Conclusion
The TruBase S constitutes a substantially equivalent medical device, meeting all the declared requirements of its intended use. This system has the same intended use and fundamental scientific technology as its predicate device. Therefore, TruBase S and its predicate are substantially equivalent.

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.
