## Principle of Operation / Mechanism of Action:
Panoramic imaging is used for acquiring 2D images. In the panoramic mode the rotating unit rotates around patient head and scans the patient with a narrow x-rav beam. Generation of exposure is turned off and turned on during the exposure to produce partial panoramic, bitewing (BW) and TMJ (Temporo Mandibular Joint) images.
Cephalometric imaging is performed by utilizing a second x-ray source. System is using same sensor for all imaging modalities. Both the x-ray source and the rotating unit make a scanning movement to produce either lateral cephalometric or PA image of the patient's head by using a narrow x-ray beam. Patient head is positioned in the ceph
{5}------------------------------------------------
head support. For carpus imaging there is a dedicated carpus holder to be attached to the ceph head support for supporting the object during exposure.
In 3D CBCT mode the rotating unit rotates around patient's head and scans the patient with a rectangular beam, where the beam size is adjusted depending on the selected FOV (Field-of-View) size. Several 2D projection images are recorded during this rotational movement. These 2D images are saved, and based on the data, the 3D data is generated by reconstruction. Once images are reconstructed, they can be viewed in an image viewing software (dental application). The image viewing software is not part of this proposed device.

#### 6. Substantial Equivalence:
#### Details of the similarities between subject and predicate devices: A
The similarities between Subject Device, ORTHOPANTOMOGRAPH™ OP 3D LX, and the Primary Predicate Device, ORTHOPANTOMOGRAPH™ OP 3D (K180947), are listed in Table 12.1 below for Technological Characteristics and Performance Testing.
The proposed device ORTHOPANTOMOGRAPH™ OP 3D LX shares the similar architectural components and utilize as ORTHOPANTOMOGRAPH™ OP 3D (K180947). Both devices utilize cone beam x-ray technology to acquire volumetric data. The Conical x-ray beam rotates around the patient's head and incidents upon the receptor and the system generates volumetric data from the 2D projection images, similarly to the predicate device. Image modes, 3D resolutions, exposure times and 2D imaging programs are identical. The reconstruction of 3D images from 2D image data in the proposed device is made using the same reconstruction techniques as in the predicate device.
Performance testing were conducted on ORTHOPANTOMOGRAPH™ OP 3D LX. Image quality testing was performed as part of bench testing, and the result indicate that ORTHOPANTOMOGRAPH™ OP 3D LX is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices.
Biocompatibility evaluation was conducted on patient contacting parts and their material and found to be in conformance with ISO 10993-1 for both proposed and the predicate device.
Software on ORTHOPANTOMOGRAPH™ OP 3D LX is designed according to the manufacturer´s software development quidelines complying with IEC 62304. Testing was performed as part of the electrical safety testing.
- A Details of the differences between subject and predicate devices:
There are no major differences between the subject device (ORTHOPANTOMOGRAPH™ OP 3D LX) and predicate devices (ORTHOPANTOMOGRAPH™ OP 3D (K180947) and ORTHOPANTOMOGRAPH™ OP300 (K163423)), however there are some minor differences as described below.
## Intended Use/Indications of use:
"Ear, nose and throat (ENT) and airway regions, and cervical spine." is not part of the primary predicate intended use/indications of use. Secondary predicate ORTHOPANTOMOGRAPH™ OP300 (K163423) has also "neck area, ear, nose and throat (ENT) regions" included in the intended use/indications of use. Performance testing demonstrates the proposed ORTHOPANTOMOGRAPH™ OP 3D LX and both predicate devices can image the same anatomical areas, that is the dentomaxillofacial complex and neck area which include the airway regions and cervical spine.
As a summary ORTHOPANTOMOGRAPH™ OP 3D LX Indications for Use statement is utilizing more descriptive wording to communicate anatomical structures inside the scanned volume.
{7}------------------------------------------------
### X-ray source:
The proposed and the predicate devices utilize the same x-ray tube. The chosen technique factors are slightly different. The small difference in the device's tube current is due to the proposed device having longer SID requiring a bit larger current for imaging.
### Image Detectors:
The proposed device has only one TFT (Thin Film Transistor) sensor capable of capturing all modalities (panoramic, cephalometric and CBCT image data).
Using only one sensor is possible due to the bigger image detector size at the proposed device (Effective detector area 240 x168 mm) compared to the Primary Predicate (Effective detector area 125 x125 mm).
TFT imaging performance is similar to CMOS sensors used with the Predicate device and equivalent clinical performance can be achieved. Measured DQE performance is substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
### 3D Field of View:
The larger image detector in the proposed device enables bigger field of view options. Field of view options in the proposed device are optimized for clinical needs to achieve intended use of the device.
### Pixel size:
The proposed and the primary predicate device have almost identical pixel sizes. 5 um /10 um difference in pixel sizes is not significant in clinical practice.
## System footprint:
Minor difference in the adjustable height of the device does not impact the safety or effectiveness of the device.
## Materials (Patient contacting):
The proposed device uses the same materials for the patient contacting parts with exception for the head support. ORTHOPANTOMOGRAPH™ OP 3D LX uses "Grilamid TR 90+ EMD- 802744 MB Black" also for the head support and "Ultradur B2550 FC+ EMD-802744 MB Black" is not used.
However, these minor differences do not raise new concerns of substantial equivalence. The comparison below (Table 5-2) for the Subject Device and Predicate Devices demonstrates that the Subject device is substantially equivalent to the Primary Predicate with regards to their Indications for use, technology and performance specifications.
Furthermore the subject device does not introduce a fundamentally new scientific technology, and nonclinical performance testing demonstrates that the device is substantially equivalent as the Subject device performs as well as the Primary Predicate device for its intended use.

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.
