Indications for Use
The Identity™ Imprint™ Porous Cruciate Retaining (CR) Total Knee Replacement System with Cruciate Sacrificing (CS) Insert is intended for use as a total knee replacement in patients with knee joint pain and disability whose conditions cannot be solely addressed by the use of a prosthetic device that treats only one or two of the three knee compartments, such as a unicondylar, patellofemoral or bicompartmental prosthesis. The Indications for Use include: · Painful joint disease due to osteoarthritis, traumatic arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis or osteonecrosis of the knee. - · Post traumatic loss of joint function. · Moderate varus, valgus or flexion deformity in which the ligamentous structures can be returned to adequate function and stability. · Failed osteotomies, hemiarthroplasties, and unicondylar, patellofemoral or bicompartmental implants. · Revision procedures provided that anatomic landmarks necessary for alignment and positioning of the implant are identifiable on patient imaging scans The Ildentity™ Imprint™ Porous Cruciate Retaining (CR) Knee Replacement System (KRS) with Cruciate Sacrificing (CS) Insert is intended for uncemented use, but porous implants may be used with cement if desired by the surgeon. The CS (cruciate sacrificing) insert option should be utilized when additional anterior-posterior constraint is desired.
Device Story
Total knee replacement system; includes femoral, tibial, and patellar components; utilizes patient-specific CT scan imaging for implant selection and surgical planning. Femoral component: CoCrMo alloy with porous CPTi scaffold. Tibial tray: Ti6Al4V-EL alloy with CPTi porous scaffold. Tibial insert: highly cross-linked Vitamin-E enriched polyethylene (iPoly XE). Patellar component: iPoly polyethylene with Ti6Al4V-ELI and CPTi porous backing. System includes single-use, patient-specific nylon surgical guides and reusable manual instruments.

Regulatory Classification
Identification
A knee joint patellofemorotibial metal/polymer porous-coated uncemented prosthesis is a device intended to be implanted to replace a knee joint. The device limits translation and rotation in one or more planes via the geometry of its articulating surfaces. It has no linkage across-the-joint. This generic type of device is designed to achieve biological fixation to bone without the use of bone cement. This identification includes fixed-bearing knee prostheses where the ultra high molecular weight polyethylene tibial bearing is rigidly secured to the metal tibial base plate.
Special Controls
*Classification.* Class II (special controls). The special control is FDA's guidance: “Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Knee Joint Patellofemorotibial and Femorotibial Metal/Polymer Porous-Coated Uncemented Prostheses; Guidance for Industry and FDA.” See § 888.1 for the availability of this guidance.

combined with standard and patient-specific ancillary surgical instrumentation. It is semi-constrained knee implants which consist of a femoral, tibial, and/or patellar components. The products are intended for treatment of severe pain and/or disability of the knee damaged by osteoarthritis or trauma.
Using patient imaging (CT scan), an Identity Imprint Porous implant is selected that best meets the geometric and anatomic requirements of the specific patient. The femoral component is manufactured from a cobalt chromium molybdenum (CoCrMo) alloy with a porous Commercially Pure titanium (CPTi) scaffold on the interior surface. The tibial tray is manufactured from a titanium alloy (Ti6Al4V-EL), with a CPTi porous scaffold on the interior surface. The tibial insert component is manufactured from highly cross-linked ultra-high molecular weight Vitamin-E enriched polyethylene (iPoly XE). The patellar component is manufactured and offered in ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (iPoly) with a solid titanium alloy (Ti6A4V-ELI) and CPTi porous metal backing. Porous tibial, femoral, and patellar implants are designed for use without cement, but may be used with a cemented technique if necessary. The ldentity™ Imprint™ Porous Knee Replacement System is compatible with cemented Identity™ Imprint™ CR KRS implants. Cemented and uncemented implants may be used together for a hybrid technique. The subject CS (cruciate sacrificing) insert option should be utilized when additional anterior-posterior constraint is desired.
For user convenience, single-use, standard and patient-specific ancillary orthopedic manual surgical instruments designed for use with the selected Identity Imprint implants are provided to assist in the positioning of the total knee replacement components intraoperatively and in guiding of bone. These guides are pre-navigated to fit the contours of the patient's femoral and tibial anatomies and to facilitate a simpler surgical technique. The ilig instrument set is designed for single-use, and manufactured from biocompatible nylon material and supplied sterile along with the implants. In addition, reusable orthopedic manual surgical instruments are provided separately.
The device is intended to be used in a sterile field by trained orthopedic surgeons (Use Environment).

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.
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.
