### 11 monogram
## 510(k) Summary
The Monogram mBôs TKA System (subject device) and the MAKO TKA System™ (predicate device) are both intended for use in Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA) surgeries.
Both devices utilize stereotactic (computer-assisted) devices to precisely track bone structures relative to the stereotactic devices throughout the surgery.
The systems feature substantially equivalent configurations, including one or two stations equipped with an IR tracking camera, foot pedal, robotic arm, computer units, power supply, and display monitors. They both use dedicated instrument sets containing arrays with reflective infrared (IR) markers and tools such as bone pins and clamps to attach these arrays to the patient's bony anatomy. The Monogram mBôs System and the MAKO TKA System™ also incorporate a dedicated cabled robot-mounted End Effector.
The operation of both systems is substantially equivalent. Using patient specific information from a pre-operative CT scan allows the surgeons to evaluate bone structure, disease severity, joint alignment and virtual implant fit. Surgeons use a navigated probe to register bone anatomy, and both systems feature software to generate virtual bone models to assist in planning the TKA resections. Following surgical planning, both systems suspend the cutting tool instrument in space and hold the trajectory, allowing the user to advance towards or away from the patient while holding alignment to the patient to perform the planned resection. Both devices utilize a foot pedal to navigate surgical workflows, including collecting registration points, capturing checkpoints, and navigating surgical worktlows.
The cutting tool's impact on the bone is comparable for both systems. Both the subject device and predicate utilize robot-mounted sagittal saw blade end effectors. The predicate device uses a mechanical trigger for sagittal saw actuation and the subject device uses a manual force-based trigger in conjunction with the foot pedal for sagittal saw actuation. Both systems allow the surgeon to directly retract the end-effector from the cut site. Both systems constrain the end-effector within virtual boundaries established for each resection. The navigation feedback of both systems is substantially equivalent. Both systems detect bone motion during cutting. Both systems display alerts for implant position or selection errors (femur notching, size incompatibility). The navigation software in both the proposed and predicate devices facilitates virtual implant placement to establish the desired resection planes, track time position of registered arrays, and adjust the orientation of the suspended End-Effector (Handpiece) and blade relative to the planned resection plane to accommodate any movement of the patient's leg.
The surgical workflows of both systems are substantially equivalent. The predicate and subject devices both feature a Graphic User Interface (GUI) that enables surgeons to select the types and sizes of implants and the order of cuts depending on clinical
{7}------------------------------------------------
# 510(k) Summary
preference. The surgical techniques offered by the proposed and predicate devices are tailored to the specific implants indicated for use with each respective system.
The devices have slight differences in how they establish a resection plane. In the predicate device, a robot arm suspends a Saw Handpiece (MICS Handpiece), allowing the user to advance towards or away from the patient while holding alignment to the patient to perform the planned resection within virtual control boundaries (haptic boundaries); the saw is not free to violate the haptic boundaries associated with the resection plane. Similarly, in the subject device, a robot arm suspends an End Effector, allowing the user to advance towards or away from the patient while holding alignment to the patient to perform the planned resection; however, the saw is not free to violate linear paths within bone boundaries associated with the resection plane. The user advances the tool towards or away from the patient via foot pedal control or away from the patient by hand-guided control. Several tests were conducted to support the substantial equivalence of the subject device to the predicate, including Cadaveric Cut Accuracy, System End-to-End Accuracy, Robot Arm Positional Accuracy, Cutting Tool Positional Accuracy, Registration Accuracy, Hardware Reliability Testing, Positional Repeatability Testing, Blade Cut-Path Verification, and Soft Tissue Assessment Validation. These differences do not impact on the safety or effectiveness of the devices.
The Monogram mBôs Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA) System performed a comprehensive risk assessment, conforming to ISO 14971:2019 and the Monogram Orthopaedic Risk Management procedure, analyzing and mitigating potential risks associated with its use. All clinical hazards were documented and addressed, determining that the system overall residual risk is acceptable. A detailed comparison with the MAKO TKA System ™ roboticassisted solution established substantial equivalence based on intended use, technological characteristics, the principle of operation, and Safety & Performance testing.

Two short videos show you everything — or skip straight to the written tutorial if you'd rather read. You can reopen this any time from the Tutorial button in the top bar.
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.
