#### 5. Indications for Use:
The proposed Indications for Use for the proposed (A) PrimeTaper EV Dental Implant Ø3.0 is:
The implants are intended for both one- and two-stage surgical procedures in the following situations and with the following clinical protocols:
- Replacing missing teeth in single or multiple unit applications in the mandible or maxilla. .
- Immediate placement in extraction sites and in situations with a partially or completely ● healed alveolar ridge.
- . Especially indicated for use in soft bone applications where implants with other implant surface treatments may be less effective.
- Immediate and early loading for all indications, except in single tooth situations on . implant shorter than 8 mm or in soft bone (type 4) where implant stability may be difficult to obtain, and immediate loading may not be appropriate.
- . The intended use for PrimeTaper EV Ø3.0 is limited to replacement of maxillary lateral incisors and mandibular incisors.
All proposed (B) DS Implants abutments with EV connection XS, with the exception of the MultiBase EV abutment, fall under the first indications for Use statement below. The second Indications for Use statement applies to the proposed (B) MultiBase EV (XS) abutment.
#### DS Implants abutments with EV connection XS:
DS Implants abutments provided with the EV connection are intended to be used in conjunction with implants with the EV connection in fully edentulous or partially edentulous maxillary and/or mandibular arches to provide support for crowns, bridges or overdentures.
#### MultiBase Abutment EV (XS):
DS Implants abutments provided with the EV connection are intended to be used in conjunction with implants with the EV connection in fully edentulous or partially edentulous maxillary and/or mandibular arches to provide support for bridges or overdentures.
{8}------------------------------------------------
#### 6. Comparison of Technological Characteristics:
The proposed (A) PrimeTaper EV Dental Implants size Ø3.0 and proposed (B) DS Implants abutments with EV connection XS are a line extension to and are based on the design of the reference device PrimeTaper EV Dental Implant cleared in K210610 and the Predicate (B) DS Implants Abutments cleared in K213449, respectively, to add a new small diameter size (Ø 3 mm).
For the proposed (B) abutments, a new worst-case abutment is introduced. Although the proposed (B) TiDesign EV abutment (XS) comes in the same angulation (maximum of 15°) and specifications as the predicate (B) abutments, the smaller XS diameter makes it a new worst-case abutment. In addition, the TempAbutment has a smaller abutment height compared with the predicate (B) abutments. All other design features remain unchanged and the remaining proposed (B) abutments are within the range of the predicate (B) abutments.
An overview of the similarities and differences between the proposed devices (A) and (B) and predicate devices (A) and (B) is given in Table 1 through Table 3 below. A discussion of the similarities and differences follows the tables.

The proposed (A) PrimeTaper EV Dental Implants size Ø3.0 and the Predicate (A) Astra Tech EV Implants Ø3.0 (K120414) encompass the same range of technological characteristics, including implant length, surface treatment and the abutment connection interface. The proposed (A) PrimeTaper EV Dental Implants size Ø3.0 share the same overall implant design. including outer thread design, as the reference device PrimeTaper EV Dental Implant (K210610).
Table 3 compares the Atlantis healing abutment that is compatible with the proposed (A) implant to the Atlantis healing abutment that was cleared in K193529, compatible with the MIS NP/SP/WP implants. K193529 was specific to compatibility with the MIS Conical Connection implants but besides the implant interface connection of the healing abutment and additional screw access for the MIS implants, there are no differences between the Atlantis Healing Abutment cleared in K193529 and the Atlantis Healing Abutment that is compatible with the proposed (A) implant.

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.
