Indications for Use
OSTEOREVIVE™ is intended for bony voids or defects of the extremities, posterolateral spine, and pelvis that are not intrinsic to the stability of the bony structure. These defects may be surgically created osseous defects or osseous defects created by traumatic injury to the bone. OSTEOREVIVE™ can be used as an adjunct to conventional rigid hardware fixation by supporting the bone fragments during the surgical procedure only in the extremities and pelvis. Once the material has set, it acts as a temporary support medium and is not intended to provide structural support during the healing process. OSTEOREVIVE™ is intended to be placed into bony voids either before or after final fixation. OSTEOREVIVE™ is resorbed and replaced with bone during the healing process. OSTEOREVIVE™ must be used with morselized autograft bone at a ratio of 1:1 by volume in the posterolateral spine. OSTEOREVIVE™ is not intended to treat large defects that in the surgeon's opinion would fail to heal spontaneously.
Device Story
OSTEOREVIVE™ is a magnesium-based synthetic bone void filler; consists of powder (β-tricalcium phosphate, magnesium oxide, monopotassium phosphate, monosodium phosphate) and liquid (modified saline) components mixed at time of surgery. Forms non-porous, drillable, radiopaque, osteoconductive solid in situ. Used in clinical settings by surgeons to fill bony voids; acts as temporary support medium during procedure; resorbed and replaced by bone during healing. Does not provide structural support post-setting. Benefits patient by facilitating bone repair in non-load-bearing defects.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data submitted. Bench testing included chemical composition, physical properties, sterilization, shelf life, and biocompatibility. Animal testing performed in rabbit posterolateral spine fusion model comparing subject device to predicate K140375 and autograft control; endpoints included radiography, manual palpation, flexibility testing, micro-CT, histology, and histomorphometry.
Technological Characteristics
Magnesium-based synthetic bone void filler. Components: β-tricalcium phosphate, magnesium oxide, monopotassium phosphate, monosodium phosphate, and saline. Non-porous solid after setting. Drillable, radiopaque, osteoconductive. Provided sterile via gamma irradiation. Sizes: 5 cc, 10 cc, 15 cc.
Indications for Use
Indicated for bony voids or defects of extremities, posterolateral spine, and pelvis not intrinsic to structural stability. Applicable to surgically created or traumatic osseous defects. Used as adjunct to rigid hardware in extremities and pelvis. In posterolateral spine, must be used with morselized autograft (1:1 ratio). Not for large defects unlikely to heal spontaneously.

#### PERFORMANCE DATA
Non-clinical testing data were submitted according to the guidance documents Guidance for Industry and FDA Staff - Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Resorbable Calcium Salt Bone Void Filler Device (issued June 2003) and Submission and Review of Sterility Information in Premarket Notification (510(k)) Submissions for Devices Labeled as Sterile (issued January 2016). The non-clinical testing data submitted, referenced from K071004, or relied upon to demonstrate substantial equivalence included: chemical composition, physical properties, sterilization, sterile barrier shelf life, and biocompatibility.
Bacterial endotoxin testing has been performed to ensure the device meets pyrogen limit specifications. The Limulus amebocyte lysate (LAL) test, kinetic turbidimetric method, was performed according to USP <85> Bacterial Endotoxins Test. The LAL testing met the limit acceptance criterion of ≤ 20 EU/device, based upon the recommendations for implanted devices in the FDA guidance document Submission and Review of Sterility Information in Premarket Notification (510(k)) Submissions for Devices Labeled as Sterile, issued January 21, 2016 (Section V, A, 4).
Performance testing data also were submitted to demonstrate that the subject device is drillable, and may be used as an adjunct to conventional rigid hardware during the surgical procedure (only when used in the extremities and pelvis).
Animal testing was performed in a rabbit posterolateral spine fusion model to demonstrate substantial equivalence to the additional predicate device K140375. Animals were evaluated after implantation with the subject device, the additional predicate device K140375, and autograft (positive control). The study
{6}------------------------------------------------
time points included baseline (time 0), 6 weeks, and 12 weeks; subject device animals also were evaluated at 2 hours, 3 days. Evaluation endpoints included radiography, manual palpation, range of motion/flexibility testing, micro-computed tomography (micro-CT) imaging, undecalcified histologic evaluation, and histomorphometric analysis. Histology sections also were graded according to ISO 10993-6 (Annex E).
No clinical data were included in this submission.
#### EQUIVALENCE TO MARKETED DEVICES
The subject device is substantially equivalent in indications and design principles to the primary predicate device and the additional predicate devices listed above. Provided at the end of this summary is a table comparing the Indications for Use Statements and the technological characteristics of the subject device, the primary predicate device, and the additional predicate devices.
The primary predicate device is K071004, for the identical formulation, packaging, and sterilization as the subject device. The subject device differs from K071004 only in terms of the additional indications for use in the posterolateral spine and the claims regarding drillable properties.
The predicate device is K140375 for support of substantial equivalence in the posterolateral spine animal model performance testing. The predicate device K173362 for support of substantial equivalence in terms of the indications for use associated with the additional product code OIS.
The subject device, the primary predicate device K071004, and the additional predicate devices K140375 and K173362 have the same intended use, the same product classification and product code (MOV), and have similar Indications for Use statements. The subject device, the primary predicate device, and the additional predicate devices are indicated for use as bone void fillers in the extremities and pelvis. The subject device and the predicate device K140375 are indicated for use with autograft bone (as a bone graft extender) in the posterolateral spine; K140375 also is indicated for stand-alone use in the posterolateral spine. Although the subject device, the primary predicate device, and the additional predicate devices have slightly different Indications for Use language, these differences in language do not change the intended use as a bone void filler.
The subject device, the primary predicate device, and the additional predicate devices all incorporate calcium phosphate materials that are mixed to form a solid after setting (subject device and primary predicate device) or are within a polymeric binder or scaffold (additional predicate devices). The subject device and primary predicate device have identical materials, formulation and processing; the subject device is mixed to form a non-porous solid after setting.
The radiographic, histologic, and histomorphometric performance of the subject device was compared to that of the primary predicate device K140375 in a rabbit posterolateral fusion model. The results of the study demonstrated the performance of the subject device was equivalent to that of the predicate device K140375 in the posterolateral spine. Performance testing provided demonstrated the subject device to be substantially equivalent to the additional predicate K173362 in terms of the indications associated with the additional product code OIS.
Differences among the subject device, the primary predicate device, and the additional predicate devices include the exact indications for use in the posterolateral spine (mixed with autograft or used alone), the
{7}------------------------------------------------
calcium phosphate and other mineral components, and the scaffold or binder material (bovine collagen in the additional predicate devices K140375 and K173362).
The subject device and the predicate devices are all provided in comparable volumes, sterilized by irradiation, and are for single-patient, single-use.
The similarities described, combined with the animal performance testing, support substantial equivalence of the subject device. The minor differences among the subject device, the primary predicate device, and the additional predicate devices do not raise new issues of safety or effectiveness, and therefore, do not impact substantial equivalence.
#### CONCLUSION
The subject device, the primary predicate device, and the additional predicate devices have the same intended use, have similar technological characteristics, and are made of similar materials. The subject device, the primary predicate, and the additional predicate devices encompass the same range of physical dimensions, are packaged in similar materials and are sterilized using similar methods. The data included in this submission demonstrate substantial equivalence to the additional predicate devices listed above.

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.

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.
