It is worn while<br>sleeping to support the lower jaw in a forward position prescribed<br>by the dentist. The appliance is removable by the patient. |
| Device Description.<br>Mechanism of Action,<br>and Summary of<br>Technological<br>Characteristics | The Silent Nite Sleep Appliance with the Glidewell Hinge is a<br>mandibular advancement device. It holds the mandible in a<br>protrusive position to increase the patient's ability to exchange air<br>and decrease air turbulence, thus improving airflow during sleep.<br>The device consists of upper and lower trays, which are fabricated<br>using a biocompatible dual-layered thermoplastic material, and an<br>engaging mechanism, which is the Glidewell Hinge (biocompatible<br>medical grade stainless steel bars), and band lugs and hooks for<br>attaching the optional orthodontic (elastic) bands, which are<br>provided as accessories.<br>The trays consist of a soft polyurethane inner layer that provides<br>patient comfort and a hard polyester outer layer for durability. The<br>hinge is adjustable by turning an inner adjustment screw with a<br>hex driver, enabling the amount of mandibular advancement |
{4}------------------------------------------------
prescribed by the clinician. The design allows for the advancement of the mandible to be adjusted (increased or decreased) in 0.25 mm increments up to 10 mm.
The orthodontic bands accessories are used to aid in holding the mouth closed. The end result, a forward position of the iaw, is the same as the predicate, however, the method of action of the predicate device and subject device are slightly different. Silent Nite Sleep Appliance with the Glidewell Hinge's method of action is identical to the Reference device and both use orthobands. Without orthobands, the patient's mouth can open during sleep which allows the tongue to fall back into the airway. The orthobands help keep the mouth closed to avoid this. With just a slight protrusion, the orthobands can be placed on the provided hooks. More protrusion requires the orthoband to be placed on the forward hook and the band lug.
The device is customized to conform to the patient's upper and lower dentition based on the clinician's prescription. Upon receipt of the prescription, models for the trays are made and used during the thermoforming fabrication of the upper and lower trays.
The difference between the Silent Nite Sleep Appliance with the Glidewell Hinge and the Primary Predicate Silent Nite sl is the mechanism connecting the trays: The new device's stainless steel hinge allows adjustment within the mechanism, while the Predicate's adjustment requires changing the plastic connectors.
This is a non-sterile device, to be used only by the single patient for whom it is custom-designed and is to be worn during sleep.
#### Device Testing Laboratory Testing
Verification and validation of the manufacturing process was performed by Prismatik Dentalcraft, Inc.
Verification testing was conducted to assure the following functional attributes of the finished device were correct:
- Mandibular advancement function ●
- Maximum hinge displacement (mm) ●
- Hinge placement/positioning .
Validation showed that the following were acceptable:
- Device fits and retains to the model
- Hinge is attached well to the trays ●
- Device's final finish is smooth and free of roughness or burs
## Biocompatibility
ISO 10993 testing was performed to assess the safety and biocompatibility of the Thermoforming Sheet Materials and documentation was provided in the 510(k) for the Reference device. K200125. The testing showed the material is safe and biocompatible for the intended use "fabrication of orthodontic and dental appliances".
{5}------------------------------------------------
The following biocompatibility testing was conducted according to Good Laboratory Practices and per ISO 10993 on the stainless steel hinge component of the device:
- In vitro Cytotoxicity (Part 5)
- . Guinea Pig Maximization Sensitization (Part 10)
- . Oral Mucosal Irritation in Hamsters:14 days (Part 10)
The test article met the requirements of each test and is safe and biocompatible for the intended use.
## Animal | Human Testing
No animal or human testing are required for this product because it is composed of the same materials, is designed similarly, and is manufactured by method similar to the predicate device.
Comparison to Predicate Device:
Refer to the Comparison Table below for similarities and differences between Silent Nite Sleep Appliance with the Glidewell Hinge and the Primary Predicate device. In summary:
- The intended uses are the same.
- . The mechanisms of actions are the same.
- . The materials used for the trays are the same as the Predicate and Reference #1.
- I The methods used for manufacturing the appliances are similar.
- . The materials used for the connector mechanism are different and the design for adjusting the jaw position is different, as follows:
The technological design of the subject device allows for microadjustments of the mandibular position to achieve the needed improvement in airflow during sleep, which is similar to Reference #2, while the Predicate device allows for millimeter incremental adjustment. Reference #2 also includes the optional orthobands like the subject device, but unlike the Predicate.
The design and material differences in the connector mechanism do not raise different questions of safety and effectiveness, and were addressed with standard verification and validation testing submitted in the 510(k).
Based on the documentation presented in the 510(k), as Substantial summarized above and the following side-by-side comparison, it Equivalence can be concluded subject device is substantially equivalent to the Conclusion predicate device.

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.
