### SUBJECT DEVICE DESCRIPTION
The purpose of this submission is to obtain marketing clearance for the BioClean Implant Restorative System. The BioClean Implant Restorative System provides rigid connection of partial and full arch restorations to endosseous dental implants in the mandible or maxilla.
The BioClean Implant Restorative System consists of copings, denture housings, and retention inserts that are intended to allow for a fixed/detachable prosthesis to be connected to OEM multiunit abutments for stable attachment of the prosthesis to endosseous dental implants. All BioClean copings are made of titanium alloy and have the same coronal ridge retention design that attaches to the prosthesis component by a friction-based engagement system. The subject device coping connects to the OEM multi-unit abutment and is specific to each compatible abutment system and diameter.
The subject device copings are offered with angulation from 0° to 9° in 0.5° increments and also in a patient specific version in which the dental laboratory technician designs the coping in CAD software and then sends the design to BioClean Dental or a validated milling center for fabrication from a coping blank. By use of a combination of pre-manufactured and patientspecific versions of the copings, a multi-unit prosthesis can be created in which the copings are parallel.

## PERFORMANCE DATA
Non-clinical testing data submitted to demonstrate substantial equivalence included:
- Sterilization validation according to ISO 17665-1 Sterilization of health care products -● Moist heat – Part 1: Requirements for the development, validation, and routine control of a sterilization process for medical devices and ISO 17665-2 Sterilization of health care products - Moist heat - Part 2: Guidance on the application of ANSI/AAMI/ISO 17665-1
- Biocompatibility testing according to ISO 10993-5 Biological evaluation of medical ● devices - Part 5: Tests for in vitro cytotoxicity and ISO 10993-12 Biological evaluation of medical devices – Part 12: Sample preparation and reference materials
- . Mechanical testing according to ISO 14801 Dentistry - Implants - Dynamic loading test for endosseous dental implants
- . Reverse engineering to verify OEM compatibility to the OEM abutment-implant system. Key dimensions were measured from OEM implants, abutments and screws, from which dimensions and tolerances were established for corresponding BioClean copings, to ensure that the subject device components are compatible with the corresponding OEM system connections. When determining manufacturing tolerances, suitable adjustments in dimensions to avoid interference at maximum material conditions for the abutment and for the coping are taken into consideration.
- . Retention testing was conducted to ensure that retention is maintained throughout the expected use of the product. Retention strength of the subject devices was tested and compared to the retention strength of reference device K033699.
- Non-clinical worst-case MRI review to evaluate the metallic devices in the MRI ● environment using scientific rationale and published literature (e.g., Woods, Terry O., Jana G. Delfino, and Sunder Rajan. "Assessment of Magnetically Induced Displacement Force and Torque on Metal Alloys Used in Medical Devices." Journal of Testing and Evaluation 49.2 (2019): 783-795), based on the subject device components and material composition. Rationale addressed parameters per the FDA guidance "Testing and Labeling Medical Devices for Safety in the Magnetic Resonance (MR) Environment," including magnetically induced displacement force and torque.
### EQUIVALENCE TO MARKETED DEVICES
#### Indications for Use
The subject device and primary predicate K191123 include indications for partial or full arch restorations, referred to as bridges and bars in the predicate device indications. The slight difference in terminology does not affect the intended use; a bridge is considered a partial restoration and a bar is considered a full arch restoration. Both devices have indications for use with dental implants in the mandible or maxilla. Both devices are compatible with OEM systems.
Reference devices were identified to bridge noted technological or verbiage-based differences between the primary predicate and subject devices. The subject device indications are different from primary predicate K191123 in that the primary predicate device indications do not include "fixed/detachable" restorations. The primary predicate K191123 is only for fixed or "screw retained" restorations; this difference is addressed with reference device K033699. The subject
{6}------------------------------------------------
device indications include the fact that the restoration can be attached with a friction-based engagement system; this difference is addressed with reference device K213391. The subject device also allows for the copings to be digitally designed and manufactured at a validated milling center; this difference is addressed with reference device K142890.
The subject device and reference device K213391 include indications for partial or full arch restorations. Indications for both devices include use with dental implants in the mandible or maxilla for purpose of restoring masticatory function. Indications for both devices include attachment of restorations with a friction-based engagement system; this is referred to as a snapin system for reference device K213391. The slight difference in terminology does not affect the intended use because a snap-in system is another name for a friction-based engagement system. Both devices are compatible with OEM systems.
The subject device indications are different from those for reference deviceK213391 in that the reference device indications do not contain "fixed/detachable" restorations. The reference device K213391 is only for fixed restorations (meaning that it is not removable by the patient); this difference is addressed with reference device K033699. The subject device allows for the copings to be digitally designed and manufactured at a validated milling center; this difference is addressed with reference deviceK142890.
The subject device and reference device K033699 include indications for partial or full arch restorations, referred to as overdentures or partial dentures in the predicate device. The slight difference in terminology does not affect the intended use because a partial denture is considered a partial restoration and an overdenture is considered a full arch restoration. Both devices have indications for use with dental implants in the mandible or maxilla.
The subject device indications are different from reference device K033699 in that the reference device K033699 indications statement does not contain "fixed/detachable" restorations. However, even though it is not listed in the indications, the reference device K033699 device is intended to be removed by the patient. A fixed/detachable restoration is intended to be removed by the patient for cleaning, whereas a fixed restoration is intended to be removed by the clinician for cleaning. The subject device indications include the attachment of the restoration with a friction-based engagement system. However, even though it is not listed in the indications, the reference device K033699 device is attached with a friction-based system. The subject device also allows for the copings to be digitally designed and manufactured at a validated milling center; this difference is addressed with reference device K142890.
The subject device and reference device K142890 include indications for partial restorations, referred to as bridges in predicate device indications. The slight difference in terminology does not affect the intended use because a bridge is considered a partial restoration. Both devices allow for customized restorations using digitally designed copings. Digitally designed subject device copings are to be sent to BioClean Dental or a validated milling center for manufacture. This is similar to reference device K142890. The subject device states "digitally designed copings" whereas the reference device states "digitally designed copings and/or crowns." Both devices are attached to the abutment that is used within a customized prosthetic restoration, which does not affect the intended use.
{7}------------------------------------------------
The subject device indications are different from reference device K142890 in that the predicate device indications do not include "fixed/detachable" restorations. The reference device K142890 is only for screw-retained or cement-retained fixed restorations; this difference is addressed with reference device K033699. The subject device has limits on the type of restoration, as it does not include single unit. This difference is addressed in primary predicate K191123, reference device K142890, and reference device K213391.
#### Technological Characteristics
The subject device consists of copings similar to those of the primary predicate K191123 multiunit titanium base device. Both of these devices attach directly to multi-unit abutments that are angled up to 30°. A difference is that the subject device coping is offered in straight and angled versions up to 9°, whereas the primary predicate K191123 is only offered straight. The total angulation of the assembly does not extend past 30° for either the subject device or primary predicate K191123.
The subject device also consists of retention inserts and denture housings that connect the dental implant/abutment assembly to the restorations by means of a friction-based engagement system (also referred to as snap-in system), similar to the reference device K213391 and reference device K033699. The reference device K213391 is a high retention system that requires the restoration to be removed by the clinician for cleaning (known as a fixed restoration). However, the reference device K033699 has a lower retention strength that allows the patient to remove the restoration for cleaning (known as a fixed/detachable restoration).
The subject device retention insert and denture housing attach to a coping, whereas the reference device K213391 and reference device K033699 device are attached to the abutment. The subject device retention insert and denture housing do not allow for any divergence/convergence, unlike the reference device K213391 and reference device K033699, which allow divergence/ convergence up to 20° per implant or 40° between implants by action of the retention insert and denture housing. The reference device K213391 and reference device K033699 devices are placed on a straight abutment where there is a need for additional angulation correction to allow for the prosthetic restoration connections to be parallel. This additional angulation correction is not needed with the subject devices because they are placed on an angled abutment with an angled coping (with the total not exceeding 30°) in order to obtain a parallel prosthetic restoration connection.

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.
