## EQUIVALENCE TO MARKETED DEVICES
The subject device is substantially equivalent in indications and design principles to the primary predicate device K222368. The subject device, the primary predicate device K222368, and the reference device K182246 are intended to provide functional and esthetic rehabilitation of the edentulous maxilla and mandible. Provided at the end of this summary is a table comparing the Indications for Use Statements (IFUS) and the technological characteristics of the subject device, the primary predicate device K222368, and the reference device K182246.
All additional reference devices are identified for OEM implant body compatibilities.
The IFUS for the subject device is similar to that of the primary predicate device K222368. The only differences in language of the subject device and primary predicate device are limited to the compatible implant systems and, therefore, do not affect the intended use as an endosseous dental implant abutment for support of a prosthesis to restore chewing function. The IFUS for the subject device also is very similar to that of the reference device K240208. The minor differences in the reference device IFUS are the specific language and the list of compatible implant systems, and these differences do not affect the intended use as an endosseous dental implant abutment for support of a prosthesis to restore chewing function.
The subject device abutments and the abutments cleared in the primary predicate device K222368 are indicated for use with CAD-CAM technology to fabricate patient-specific abutments prescribed by the clinician. The subject device and the primary predicate device require that digital files for CAD-CAM fabricated abutments be sent to an Imagine Milling Technologies, LLC validated milling center for manufacture.
The subject device L-LINK (Ti base) abutments are substantially equivalent to the L-LINK abutments cleared in the primary predicate K222368 in material, design, and function. Both are manufactured from titanium alloy (conforming to ASTM F136) with a titanium nitride (TiN) coating, both base designs require a zirconia superstructure that is cement-retained only, and both have the same range of angulation (up to $20^{\circ}$).
The subject device MIST IC L-LINK abutments differ from the L-LINK abutments cleared in the primary predicate K222368 in the range of prosthetic platform diameters, the maximum gingival height in the zirconia superstructure, and the abutment-implant interfaces. The ranges of prosthetic platform diameters and the
{8}
510(k) Summary
Page 5 of 8
MIST IC
K243009
maximum gingival height in the zirconia superstructure for the subject device are within those of the reference device K240208. These differences do not impact safety or effectiveness because they are related to the compatible OEM implant designs and are mitigated by testing of the subject device constructs in conformance with ISO 14801.
The subject device PREFIT abutments are substantially equivalent to PREFIT abutments cleared in the primary predicate K222368 in material, design, and function. Both are for cement-retained, single-unit or multi-unit restorations, are manufactured from titanium alloy (conforming to ASTM F136), and are for CAD-CAM fabrication of a one-piece, patient-specific abutment. The subject device PREFIT abutments and the PREFIT abutments cleared in K222368 have the same range of angulation (up to $30^{\circ}$) and gingival height (up to $6\mathrm{mm}$). The subject device MIST IC PREFIT differs from the primary predicate K182246 MIST IC PREFIT in the range of platform diameters and abutment-implant interfaces. These differences do not impact safety or effectiveness because they are related to the compatible OEM implant designs and are mitigated by testing of the subject device constructs in conformance with ISO 14801.
The subject device MIST IC L-LINK and MIST IC PREFIT stock abutments are made of titanium alloy conforming to ASTM F136. The titanium alloy subject device components are manufactured from identical materials, in identical facilities using the identical manufacturing processes used for Imagine Milling Technologies, LLC products cleared previously in K222368. The subject device MIST IC L-LINK abutments have a TiN coating achieved through a physical vapor deposition (PVD) process that is identical to the TiN coating on devices previously cleared in Imagine Milling Technologies, LLC primary predicate K222368. No dyes or coloring additives are used.
The subject device MIST IC L-LINK abutments are to be used with copings fabricated from zirconia conforming to ISO 13356. This is the same material used for copings in the primary predicate device K222368. The required bonding cement for the subject device MIST IC L-LINK zirconia superstructures is RelyX RMGIP cleared in K022476, the same cement required for bonding the copings in the primary predicate device K222368.
Compatibility testing was performed for each of the compatible OEM implant system interfaces (platforms). For each of the compatible OEM implant system interfaces, critical dimensions were identified and were measured from samples of OEM implants, OEM abutments, and OEM abutment screws. The key dimensional data measured from the OEM components were used to establish tolerances for corresponding subject device abutments and abutment screws to ensure that the subject device components are compatible with the corresponding OEM implant system connections.
Mechanical performance testing of the subject device was performed in conformance to ISO 14801. The fatigue limit data demonstrated that constructs of the subject device abutments and abutment screws, fabricated to the limits stated in the proposed labeling, in combination with previously cleared compatible OEM implants have sufficient strength for their intended use.
Minor differences in the designs, dimensions, sizes, or compatible implant lines between the subject device and the primary predicate device do not affect substantial equivalence. These minor differences do not impact substantial equivalence because these differences are related to the compatible OEM implant designs.
## CONCLUSION
The subject device has the same intended use, have similar technological characteristics, and are made of the same materials as the primary predicate device and reference device. The subject device encompasses the same range of physical dimensions, are packaged in the same materials, and are to be sterilized using the same

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.
