1. Device Description Summary
Primevision 3D is a digital panoramic and cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) x-ray device. A Computed tomography x-ray system (21 CFR 892.1750) is intended to produce cross-sectional images of the body by computer reconstruction of x-ray transmission data from the same axial plane taken at different angles. The subject Primevision 3D uses just one imaging detector to collect data for both 2D and 3D modes of operation. Additionally, the Primevision 3D does not offer a cephalometric mode.
1.1 Intended Use/Indications for Use
The X-ray system creates data for digital exposures in the maxillofacial area and in sub-areas for dentistry and pediatric dentistry and for hard tissue diagnostics within ENT medicine.
1.2 Indications for Use Comparison
The subject device is substantially equivalent to the predicate device in terms of intended use, fundamental design, and core functionality. Both devices are intended for dental imaging
{5}
applications and support panoramic and 3D imaging. Although the subject device does not include cephalometric imaging, this omission does not alter the intended use or raise new questions of safety or effectiveness. Performance testing and documentation provided in this submission demonstrate that the subject device meets applicable standards and performs as safely and effectively as the predicate.
## 2. Technological Comparison
The subject device introduces several technological updates compared to the predicate. It utilizes a single sensor for both 2D and 3D imaging, whereas the predicate used separate sensors. The subject device also incorporates cloud-based acquisition software accessed via a standard internet browser, replacing the predicate's on-premise software. Additional enhancements include motion and spine artifact compensation, and a revised hardware interface with simplified controls. These differences reflect advancements in technology and workflow efficiency, and do not impact the device's safety or effectiveness.
## 3. Non-Clinical and/or Clinical Tests
Testing to verify the performance requirements of the subject device was conducted and included in this premarket notification. The results of the performance testing support substantial equivalence. Tests included in this premarket notification verify the conformity of the proposed device with the requirements of:

Verification activities for confirmation of the image quality of the proposed device have been performed. The results of the image quality review have demonstrated that the device is substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
The subject system Primevision 3D has fundamentally the same hardware as the predicate device, without the inclusion of a Cephalometric imaging feature for the subject device. The remote control has been updated for the subject device to include a hand switch, and the new device HMI (referred to as the "easypad" or "multipad" for prior devices) has a different appearance, yet the same core functionality, as the predicate device. The subject device HMI contains less functionality than the predicate, because some of the functionality has been moved to cloud-based software (e.g. program selection) for the subject device. The EMC testing generated substantially equivalent results results as the predicate. Bench testing for image quality has been performed and the results indicate substantial equivalence to the predicate Axeos, for both 2D and 3D imaging modes (See the tabulated values below for details).
Animal testing was not necessary for this premarket submission. Clinical testing was provided in this submission, and extraoral images were submitted along with an image evaluation report. The Clinical Testing reports indicate device effectiveness.
Software Verification and Validation testing was provided as part of this submission. The predicate device had the option of cephalometric exposures along with panoramic and 3D exposure; the subject device does not have the option of cephalometric exposure. For the subject device, data processing is distributed on the device and the cloud. This is not the case with the predicate; the predicate does not have any cloud-based software component. The 3D reconstruction method (CBCT mode of operation) is the same as the predicate device and is filtered back projection (FBP). The fundamental steps for the user to take an image remain the same, the difference is that the user can use their internet browser with the subject device compared to a downloadable on-premises software with the predicate. All software functions are strongly based on the predicate device.
All cybersecurity testing has been successfully performed per FDA requirements and guidance.
{7}
The subject device software includes new features not present in the predicate device, specifically motion artifact compensation and spine artifact compensation. These were evaluated through comprehensive performance testing, including expert clinical evaluation and software verification testing. The metal artifact compensation feature remains the same as in the predicate device and has not been changed. For the motion and spine compensation features, the results of the clinical evaluation testing met prespecified success criteria via a Likert scale-based evaluation. The expert clinical evaluators reported improvements in 3D volume image quality, panoramic image homogeneity, and diagnostic interpretability when reviewing images with the compensation applied.
In summary, a comprehensive set of performance-supporting documents was included in this submission in addition to the software verification and validation reports provided. These materials include information outlined in the FDA guidance for Solid State X-ray Imaging Devices, an image quality assessment report, qualified expert evaluations conducted in accordance with the SSXI FDA guidance, a clinical image validation report, and an overview comparing the subject device's sensor performance to legally marketed predicate devices.
As mentioned above, the imaging performance of the Primevision 3D, subject device has been tested against FDA Recognized Consensus Standards. The standards used are the same with the predicate device Axeos. An additional table has been provided below for information on imaging performance results of the subject and predicate devices:
| | Imaging Performance | CCBCT R1 | Axeos | Comparison |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Panoramic (IEC 61223-3-4) | Low Contrast | At least 1mm low contrast elements | At least 1mm low contrast elements | Same |
| | Spatial Resolution | At least 2.5 lp/mm | At least 2.5 lp/mm | Same |
| CBCT (IEC 61223-3-7) | Spatial Resolution | ≥1 lp/mm (MTF10) | ≥1 lp/mm (MTF10) | Same |
| | Homogeneity | ≥5 | ≥5 | Same |
| | Geometric accuracy | 1% | 1% | Same |
| | Acceptance Indicator | ≥100 / (mGycm2) | ≥100 / (mGycm2) | Same |

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.
