PreXolid CAD/CAM Abutments are intended for use on endosseous dental implants in the edentulous or partially edentulous maxilla or mandible, as an aid in the prosthetic rehabilitation.
Device Story
PreXolid CAD/CAM Abutments are patient-specific dental abutments fabricated from Ti-6Al-4V ELI (ASTM F136). Clinicians prescribe the abutment; digital designs are sent to an Eclectic-validated milling center for manufacture. The device connects to XPEED AnyRidge Internal Implant Systems to support single or multi-unit restorations. The system includes an abutment screw. The device is provided non-sterile and requires clinician-performed steam sterilization. The abutment serves as the interface between the endosseous implant and the final dental restoration, facilitating prosthetic rehabilitation. It is used in dental clinics by dental professionals. The device design parameters (e.g., angulation, wall thickness) are constrained to ensure structural integrity. Clinical benefit is the restoration of function and aesthetics for patients with missing teeth.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data. Substantial equivalence established via bench testing, including fatigue testing (ISO 14801), biocompatibility (ISO 10993-1), sterilization validation (ISO 17665, ANSI/AAMI ST79), and dimensional/reverse engineering analysis to confirm implant-abutment compatibility.

Substantial Equivalence Discussion
1. Similarities
The subject device has the same characteristic for the followings compared to the predicate device, K220562.
- Indications for use, abutment design, restoration, implant interface and abutment material, and the sterilization method.
2. Differences
The subject device does not include an octa abutment interface and has a different pre-milled abutment body sizes, implant platform size, and maximum abutnent angle. Despite these compatible with the subject device, as well as the limitations on patient-specific abutments, including the maximum angle, fall within the range of those for the predicate device.
3. Discussion
The subject device and primary predical ititanium abutments with precision implant/abutnent interface for use in fabricaing a patientspecific abutment at a manufacturer-validated milling center.
The subject device and predicate device indications for use, Abutment design, Restoration, Abutment/mplant interface, and Abutment material. These similarities effectively demonstrate the substantial equivalence between the two devices.
For the abutment angle of subject devices, the worst case was selected for XPEED AnyRidge Internal Inplant System starter test was performed to confirm the substantial equivalence with 'ISO 14801' and "Class II Special Controls Guidance Document. Root form Endosseous
{8}------------------------------------------------
Dental Implants and Endosseus Dental implant Abutnent". The test result substantially equivalent o the predicate device and the difference is not affecting the substantial equive and predicate device (K220562), have common as following: Internal Interface. The subject device is supplied in non-sterilization validating testing for steam sterilization by the user performed in accordance with ISO 11137 and ISO 17665-1, 2 to verify the sterility assurance level (10-6).
Based on the information provided, it is concluded that the substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
{9}------------------------------------------------
#### Non-Clinical Testing
The subject device was tested to evaluate its substantial equivalence according to the following standards:
- . Fatigue Tests on the subject device were conducted under the worst-case scenario according to ISO 14801:2016
- Biocompatibility testing according to ISO 10993-1:2009
- . End User Sterilization Validation Test Report according to ANSI/AAMI ST79, ISO 17665-1, ISO 17665-2, ISO 11737-1, ISO 11737-2, and ISO 11138-1
- Reverse engineering analysis of OEM implant bodies, OEM abutments, and OEM abutment screws to confirm compatibility.
The results of the aforementioned tests have successfully met the criteria outlined in the standards, affirming the device's suitability for use.
Biocompatibility Testing was performed according to ISO 10993-1:2009, "Biological evaluation of medical devices – Part 1: Evaluation and testing within a risk management process," and to the FDA Guidance document, "Use of International Standard ISO 10993-1, 'Biological evaluation of medical devices- Part 1: Evaluation and testing within a risk management process', Guidance for Industry and Food and Drug Administration Staff", Document issued on: June 16, 2016", for subject abutments.
Non-clinical test data was conducted in accordance with FDA Guidance "Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Root-form Endosseous Dental Implants and Endosseous Dental Implant Abutments". This testing involved examining finished assembled implant/abutment systems of the worstcase scenario (smallest diameter with maximum angulation) through fatigue testing.
The recommended end user sterilization has been validated according to ISO 17665-2 and to applicable recommendations in the FDA guidance document "Reprocessing Medical Devices in Health Care Settings: Validation Methods and Labeling, issued on March 17, 2015" for subject abutments.
Dimensional analysis and reverse engineering of the implant-to-abutment connection platform were conducted, encompassing an assessment of maximum and minimum dimensions of critical design aspects, tolerances, and cross-sectional images of the submission device and compatible implant body, as well as the OEM implant abutment and implant body. The testing confirmed implant to abutment compatibility and established substantial equivalency of the proposed device with predicate devices.
## MR Environment Condition
Non-clinical worst-case MRI review was performed to evaluate the metallic device 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 entire system including all variations (all compatible implant bodies, dental abutments, and fixation screws) and material composition. Rationale addressed parameters per the FDA guidance "Testing and
{10}------------------------------------------------
Labeling Medical Devices for Safety in the Magnetic Resonance (MR) Environment," including magnetically induced displacement force and torque.
The results of the above non-clinical tests have met the standards and demonstrated the substantial equivalence with the predicate device.
Clinical testing was deemed unnecessary to establish substantial equivalency of the device.
#### Conclusion
PreXolid CAD/CAM Abutments constitutes a substantially equivalent medical device, meeting all the declared requirements of its intended use. This system has similar intended use and fundamental scientific technology as its predicate devices. Therefore, PreXolid CAD/CAM Abutments and their predicates are substantially equivalent.

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.
