The 3D GraftRasp System is intended to be used in orthopedic procedures to rasp or decorticate bone from the transverse processes and/or facets, and for the delivery of hydrated allograft, or synthetic bone graft material to an orthopedic surgical site.
Device Story
System comprises decortication rasps, graft pushers, bone funnel, tools, and dilators; used in orthopedic procedures. Physician dilates tissue for access; uses decortication rasp to manually scrape/remove cortical bone from transverse processes or facets. Once prepared, graft material is delivered via Graftgun Universal Graft Delivery System or bone funnel through the rasp lumen directly to the surgical site. System facilitates bone preparation and graft placement in a single workflow. Benefits include improved access to bony anatomy and efficient graft delivery. Used in operating room environments by orthopedic surgeons.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Included biocompatibility (ISO 10993-1), sterilization validation (ISO 17665-1), graft extrusion functionality, rasp decortication performance on bone blocks, and volume dispensing verification. Seven simulated use validation studies were conducted on cadavers and sawbones with orthopedic surgeons to evaluate usability, labeling, and technique, confirming the system's ability to perform intended decortication and graft delivery.
Technological Characteristics
Materials: Stainless Steel (316L, 304 per ASTM F899-12b), Nitinol Superelastic (ASTM F2063), Ti64 (ASTM F136-13). Passivation per ASTM A967-13. Manual mechanical operation. Components include rasps, dilators, pushers, and funnel. Sterilization: Steam (autoclave).

Technological Characteristics and Substantial Equivalence 5.6
{5}------------------------------------------------
*Some components of the GraftRasp System are designed to be reusable while others are single use such as the replaceable rasp teeth and the flexible tip of the rasp pusher.
#### 5.7 Performance Data
The following non-clinical performance data were provided to demonstrate substantial equivalence of the subject device to the predicate.
- Biocompatibility per ISO 10993-1:2018 ●
- Sterilization validation per ISO 17665-1:2006/(R) 2013 ●
- Bench Testing ●
- o Functionality Common Material Test
- l Various graft materials were tested to ensure the Graftgun can successfully extrude them through the various rasps of the 3D GraftRasp System. For each rasp, the Graftgun was able to successfully extrude the graft materials using an acceptable hand force.
- Rasp Functionality Test o
- The rasping surface of the rasp was tested on a sample bone ■ block to ensure the worst case scenario rasp of the 3D GraftRasp System is capable of bone decortication without failure. The rasp was able to successfully decorticate a portion of the bone block without failure of either the teeth of the rasping surface or of the main rasp body.
- o Volume Dispensing Verification Test
- The Graftgun Universal Graft Delivery system was tested to ensure an accurate amount of bone graft was dispensed with every squeeze of the trigger. It was justified that using the Graftgun along with either rasp and the accompanying graft pusher of the 3D GraftRasp System was adequate to maintain the acceptance criteria
- Simulated Use Validation Testing O
- Seven simulated use validation studies were conducted with ■ physician who are considered intended users. The validations were completed on cadavers and/or sawbones models to simulates typical use of the system in an operating room environment. These validations were designed to get feedback from a potential user and to validate the devices, labeling, usability, human factors, and technique. The user is supplied with a complete the appropriate labeling and Surgical
{6}------------------------------------------------
Technique. The validations demonstrated that the GraftRasp System was able to be effectively used in orthopedic procedures to rasp or decorticate bone from transverse processes and/or facets, and for the delivery of hydrated allograft, autograft, or synthetic bone graft material to an orthopedic surgical site. It also evaluated multiple physicians' feedback on the safety and efficacy of the device, labeling and training.
#### 5.8 Conclusion
The design characteristics of the 3D GraftRasp System do not raise different questions of safety and effectiveness. This data supports that the 3D GraftRasp System is substantially equivalent to the predicate device.

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.
