The design of the AURUM Base Abutment allows for easier instrument access to the abutment screw and allows for placement of the screw channel out of the esthetic region of the restoration. AURUM Base Abutments are provided with a prosthetic platform diameter of 5.5 mm, with gingival heights (in the base) of 1 mm.
AURUM Base Abutments are manufactured from titanium alloy (Ti-6Al-4V) and anodized a gold color, and the SelectGrip® surface to aid in bonding retention. The design of the AURUM Base Abutments, including the titanium alloy, anodization treatment, and SelectGrip® surface is similar to that of DESS AURUM Base Abutments cleared in K240208.
**C-Base Abutments** are provided in engaging and non-engaging designs. C-Base Abutments are two-piece abutments designed to support a custom CAD-CAM zirconia superstructure on which a single-unit or multi-unit restoration may be placed. The ceramic superstructure produced through CAD-CAM is the second part of the two-piece abutment. The C-Base Abutment also may support a ceramic hybrid abutment in which the crown is included in the design of the zirconia abutment ceramic superstructure.
The C-Base Abutment prosthetic post is 4.68 mm, and the gingival height is 1 mm to 3 mm. All patient-specific custom abutment fabrication is by prescription on the order of the clinician. C-Base Abutments are made of titanium alloy (Ti-6Al-4V) with anodization and a SelectGrip® surface.
C-Base Abutments also may support a ceramic hybrid abutment in which the crown is included in the design of the zirconia abutment ceramic superstructure. When used for a direct crown, C-Base abutments may be used with POMburn out sleeve an exempt laboratory component not a subject of this submission, that is available for laboratory fabrication of the prosthesis. C-Bases are not intended for angulation correction when used with a POM burn-out sleeve.
**ELLIPTIBase Abutments** are available in an engaging design. ELLIPTIBase Abutments are two-piece abutments designed to support a custom CAD-CAM zirconia superstructure on which a single-unit or multi-unit restoration may be placed. The ceramic superstructure produced through CAD-CAM is the second part of the two-piece abutment. The ELLIPTIBase Abutment also may support a ceramic hybrid abutment in which the crown is included in the design of the zirconia abutment ceramic superstructure.
Before attachment of the zirconia superstructure or crown, the ELLIPTIBase post height is 3.0 mm. When used for a single-unit restoration the ELLIPTIBase is to be used with a superstructure to create a minimum post height of 4.0 mm. ELLIPTIBase is made of titanium alloy (Ti-6Al-4V ELI) with a gold anodized surface
The design parameters for the CAD/CAM zirconia superstructures are summarized in Table 1 and Figure 1 below.

K260564
All subject device abutments are similar or identical in design, materials and technological characteristics to corresponding abutments of the primary predicate device K170588 and the additional predicate devices K222269, K240208, and K120954.
The design of the Temporary and Healing abutment is the same as predicate devices K170588 and K222269. The PEEK material is the same as additional predicate device K120954.
The design of the Base Abutments (Ti Base, AURUM, C-Base, ELLIPTIBase models) is the same as predicate devices K170588 (abutment design) and K240208 (angulation and OEM connection).
The SelectGrip® surface on the subject device Ti Base Abutments is identical to the Select Grip® surface on equivalent abutments cleared in K170588, K222269, and K240208. The gold anodized surface on the subject device AURUM Base Abutments is identical to the anodized surface on Aurum Abutments of the predicate devices K170588, K222269, and K240208.
The cement required in labeling for bonding of superstructures is Multi-Link cement from Ivoclar Vivadent, cleared under K130436. This is the same cement required in labeling for the predicate devices K170588, K222269, and K240208.
All screws are identical in design, materials, and technological characteristics to those cleared in predicate devices K170588, K222269, and K240208, except for threads and lengths that accommodate the new compatibilities. The Diamond-like carbon (DLC) coating and Anodized applied to all screws is identical to anodizing or DLC surface on screws cleared in predicate device K252384, K240208 and K222269.
The design, including angulation, of the Multi-Unit Abutment is the same as the predicate K222269 with the exception of gold anodization. The gold anodized surface on the subject device Multi-Unit Abutment is identical to the anodized surface on Aurum Abutments of the predicate devices K170588 and K222269.
The risks associated with use of angulated abutments in combination with the compatible implants are mitigated by the mechanical testing.
The subject device is provided non-sterile to the end user for the end user to sterilize prior to use, the same as the primary predicate. The sterilization validation was conducted for the PEEK abutment.
## CONCLUSION
The subject device, the primary predicate device, and the additional predicate devices have the same intended use, have similar technological characteristics, and are made of the same materials. The subject device, the primary predicate, and additional predicate devices encompass the same range of physical dimensions, are packaged in similar materials, and are to be sterilized using similar methods. The data included in this submission demonstrate substantial equivalence to the predicate devices listed above.

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.
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.
