The X-Guide® Surgical Navigation System is a computerized navigational system intended to provide assistance in both the preoperative planning phase and the intra-operative surgical phase of dental implantation procedures and/or endodontic access procedures. The system provides software to preoperatively plan dental implantation procedures and/or endodontics access procedures and provides navigational guidance of the surgical instruments.
Device Story
Cart-mounted mobile system; utilizes video technology to track surgical instrument (dental handpiece) position/movement. Inputs: CBCT scan data; 2D barcode tracking patterns on handpiece/patient trackers. Operation: Stereo cameras detect tracking patterns; system combines motion data with patient-specific calibration to animate 3D graphical representation of handpiece relative to planned trajectory/anatomy. Output: Real-time 3D visual feedback on LCD monitor; alerts if deviation from plan occurs. Used in clinical/dental office settings by surgeons. Benefits: Improved drilling precision; reduced risk of damage to adjacent structures. Surgeon retains control in freehand mode; system provides guidance, not automation. Final surgical decisions remain with surgeon.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical studies performed. Evidence consists of two comparative cadaver studies (total 100 roots/teeth) evaluating accuracy of endodontic access (root canal and apico access). Studies compared dynamic navigation vs. freehand, measuring linear and angular deviation via pre- vs. post-operative CBCT superimposition. Results showed dynamic navigation was more accurate than freehand.

### Device Overview
The X-Guide® Surgical Navigation System is a cart mounted mobile system utilizing video technology to track position and movement of a surgical instrument (Dental Hand-Piece) during surgical procedures.
The X-Guide® Surgical Navigation System consists of a Mobile Cart, equipped with an LCD Monitor, Boom Arm, Navigation Assembly, Keyboard, Mouse and an Electronics Enclosure. Reference Figure 1 for an illustration.
The Electronics Enclosure contains the system power supplies, data processing hardware, and electronics control circuity for coordinating operation of the X-Guide® Surgical Navigation System.
A LCD Monitor, Keyboard, and Mouse serve as the main user interface for the surgeon. The Go-Button serves as an additional form of input by providing virtual buttons that a user can activate by touching them with the surgical instrument tip.
The Boom Arm allows the operator to manipulate the Navigation for optimal distance and alignment to patterns located with the surgical region (Navi-Zone) for tracking purposes. The Boom Arm can be extended up to ~79" in the X-Axis and retracts to ~35". It can be positioned 180 degrees in the left to right to left motion range.
The Navigation Assembly contains two cameras oriented in a stereo configuration, along with blue lighting the patterns and mitigating ambient lighting noise.
This electro-optical device is designed to improve dental surgical procedures by providing the surgeon with accurate surgical tool placement and guidance with respect to a surgical plan built upon Computed Tomographic (CT scan) data.
The implant process occurs in two stage 1 is the pre-planning of the surgical implantation procedure. The dental surgeon plans the surgical procedure in the X-Guide System Planning Software. A virtual implant is aligned location in the CT scan, allowing the dental surgeon to avoid interfering with critical anatomical structures during implant surgery. Once an implant has been optimally positioned, the plan is transferred to the X-Guide Surgical Navigation System in preparation for implant surgery.
In Stage 2 the system provides accurate guidance of the dental surgical instruments according to the pre-operative plan.

As the dental surgeon moves the surgical instrument around the patient anatomy, 2D barcode tracking patterns on the Handpiece Tracker and the Patient Tracker are detected by visible light cameras in a stereo configuration and processing hardware to precisely and continuously track the motion of the dental handpiece and the surgically-relevant portion of the patient.
The relative motion of the dental handpiece and the patient anatomy, captured by the tracking hardware, is combined with patientspecific calibration data. This enables a 3D graphical representation of the handpiece to be animated and depicted in precise location and orientation relative to a 3D depiction of the implant target, along with depictions of the patient anatomy, and other features defined in the surgical plan. This provides continuous visual feedback that enables the dental surgeon to manewer the dental handpiece into precise alignment.
During execution of the surgical procedure, the X-Guide® Surgical Navigation System correlates between the surgical plan and the surgeon's actual performance. If significant deviation between the plan and the system performance occur, the system will alert the user.
Safety glasses are provided for patient use on an optional as needed basis.
Device accuracy has been evaluated for compliance with FDA recognized performance standard ASTM F2554- 18, Standard Practice for Measurement of Positional Accuracy of Computer Assisted Surgical Systems.

## Device Description
The benefit is to improve surgical procedures and reduce risk of potential damage to adjacent anatomical structures and fissues, resulting in a reduction of risk to the patient.
The system provides the surgeon with a three-dimensional real time video visual aid to indicate dental drill location in space, with 6 degrees of freedom (X, Y, Z, Pitch, Yav, and Roll) and an accuracy (RMS) of < 1 mm. This helps to improve the surgeon drilling precision within a patient oral cavity. Since the system is video based, the surgeon is still working in the freehand mode, meaning he/she is always in control of the surgery.
Several patient-specific callbrations underpin the guidance system. Hand Piece callbration is performed to determine the geometric relationship between the Hand Piece Tracker and the tip of the surgical instrument.
#### Patient Tracker Calibration
Patient Tracker calibration is performed to determine the geometric relationship between the scan coordinates of the patient anatomy. There are separate procedures for Patient Tracker callbration, depending on whether the patient is edentulous, partially edentulous, or if the surgeon wishes to use the X-Mark process.
- X-Clip Calibration: For toothed patially edentulous), an X-Clip®, which contains embedded radiodense . spheres, is attached to patient teeth prior to CT image acquisition. The location of these spheres on the X-Clip establishes a link between the CT coordinate system and the patient's surgical anatomy. Immediately prior to surgery, the Patient Tracker is attached, and a separate calibration determines the relationship between the spheres and the Patient Tracker. This device remains on the patient teeth for the duration of surgery.
- Edentulous Fiducial Registration: For edentulous (toothless) patients, the surgeon drills several bone screws in the ● bone to serve as fiducials for the CT scan. The location of these bone screws establishes a link between the CT coordinate system and the patient's surgical anatomy. The surgeon then locates and marks the screws in the CT image in the X-Guide software. Just prior to surgery, an Edentulous Clip, CLX Tracker arm, or EDX Tracker arm is attached to the patient. This device is necessary to attach Tracker to the patient, and facilitates the navigation and tracking process. The system is calibrated to the patient anatomy and CT by probing each of the fiducial screws and correlating these locations to the locations marked in the plan.

To the right of the "X" is the text "-NAV" in a bold, dark blue font. Below the "X-NAV" text is the word "TECHNOLOGIES" in a smaller, gray font.
- X-Mark Registration: The CT scan of the patient is taken without any fiducials in the image. The doctor ● manually marks anatomical landmarks as fiducials instead, and because of this, this process is well suited for both dentate and edentulous patients. Once at least 3 anatomical landmarks are marked, the doctor registers the anatomical landmarks by touching them with the tip of a Probe Tool on the registration page. The tracking system tracks the relationship between the Patient Tracker to complete the patient registration.

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.
