Hydrophilicity testing, which is an internal test method, was performed per sessile drop test, on the proposed implants to support substantial equivalence and to demonstrate the minor changes to the primary packaging from the predicate device do not impact the requirement of a super-hydrophilic surface for the wet-packed implants over the shelf life of the device.
In all instances, the subject device functioned as intended and all test results observed were as expected.
The testing generated strong evidence that the subject devices are found to be substantially equivalent to the predicate device
The following testing and analysis were leveraged from the predicate (K241692) and reference devices:
- Biocompatibility Testing per ISO 10993-1, Biological evaluation of medical devices
- Sterilization per ISO 11737-1:2018 Sterilization of health care products Microbiological methods
- Transportation Testing per ASTM D4169-22 - Standard Practice for Performance Testing of Shipping Containers and Systems and ASTM D4332-22 - Standard Practice for Conditioning Containers, Packages, or Packaging Components for Testing
- Shelf Life Testing per ISO 11607-1:2019 Packaging for terminally sterilized medical devices-Part1: Requirements for materials, sterile barrier systems and packaging systems, ASTM F 1929-15 Standard test method for detecting seal leaks in porous medical packaging by dye penetration, ASTM F88/F88M-23 Standard Test Method for Seal Strength of Flexible Barrier Materials, ASTM F2096-11 (Reapproved 2019) Standard Test for detecting gross leaks in packaging by internal pressurization (Bubble test), ASTM F1980-21 Standard Guide for Accelerated Aging of Sterile Barrier Systems for Medical Devices, and ISO 11737-2:2019(E) Sterilization of health care products – Microbiological methods –Part 2: Tests of sterility performed in the definition, validation and maintenance of a sterilization process
- Fatigue Testing per ISO 14801:2016 Dentistry - Implants - Dynamic fatigue tests for endosseous dental implant and FDA's Guidance - Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Root-form Endosseous Dental Implants and Endosseous Dental Implant Abutments
- Surface Modification Characterization by SEM (scanning electron microscope) to demonstrate surface cleanliness
MR Conditional Testing per Magnetically induced displacement force, according to ASTM F2052-21, Standard test method for measurement of magnetically induced displacement force on medical devices in the magnetic resonance environment, Image Artifact, according to ASTM F2119-07 (2013), Standard test method for evaluation of MR image artifacts from passive implants, and RF Induced Heating Simulation using Computational modeling and simulation (CM&S)
Clinical testing was not necessary to demonstrate equivalence.
Conclusions
The subject devices, MIS Implant Systems and the predicate device have the same intended use and similar indications for use. MIS Implant Systems and the predicate device have the similar technological characteristics and principles of operation. The proposed change for the primary and secondary packaging of the implant and cover screw is similar to the primary packaging and the same as the secondary packaging for the Lynx Conical Connection Implant System, cleared under 510(k) K241692.
No other changes have been made to the implant design, technological characteristics or intended use since the most recently cleared 510(k) for each of the MIS Implants Systems.
The minor differences in primary packaging do not present different questions of safety or effectiveness than the predicate device because the subject device functions to the same packaging performance specifications as the predicate device. Thus, the primary packaging for the subject device, MIS Implant Systems, is substantially equivalent to the primary packaging of the predicate device.
The subject device is substantially equivalent as the predicate device.

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.
