Cobalt Base Abutments are provided in both straight and 15° angled base designs, and with engaging and non-engaging implant connections. Cobalt Base Abutments (Straight) are designed to be a base for a final abutment fabricated by either of two methods. The first method is the same as for the Titanium Base Abutments: a CAD-CAM fabricated zirconia superstructure is bonded to the Cobalt Base Abutment (Straight) and the final two-piece abutment is used for the prosthetic restoration. The maximum angulation of the final abutment is up to 30°.For the second method, the Cobalt Base Abutments
{5}------------------------------------------------
(Straight) can be cast to a straight abutment only, no angulation. The design of the final abutment can be by CAD-CAM, fabricated in wax, and fixed to the Cobalt Base Abutment, or the final design be done using traditional wax-up technique. The final one-piece abutment is fabricated using standard lost wax casting techniques.
Cobalt Base Abutments (Angled 15°) are designed to be a base for a CAD-CAM fabricated zirconia superstructure bonded to the Cobalt Base Abutment (Angled 15°) and the final two-piece abutment is used for the prosthetic restoration. The maximum angulation of the Cobalt Base Abutments (Angled 15°) is up to15°; the final abutment will have an angulation of up to 30°. Cobalt Base Abutments (Angled 15°) are not to be cast to a final abutment.
The design parameters for the CAD-CAM zirconia superstructure for the Cobalt Base Abutments are: Minimum wall thickness - 0.5 mm Minimum post height for single-unit restorations - 4.0 mm Minimum gingival height - 0.5 mm Maximum gingival height - 6.7 mm Maximum angulation Cobalt Base Abutments (Straight) - superstructure maximum angle - 30° Cobalt Base Abutments (Angled 15°) - superstructure maximum angle - 15° The maximum angulation of the final abutment - 30°
For Cobalt Base Abutments (Straight) that are finalized to a one-piece abutment by lost wax casting, the design parameters are:
Minimum wall thickness – 0.5 mm: Minimum post height for single-unit restorations - 4.0 mm Minimum gingival height - 0.5 mm Maximum gingival height - 6.7 mm Maximum angulation - 0°, straight final abutment only
Titanium Blank Abutments are designed for fabrication of a customized all titanium alloy abutment by CAD-CAM processes. Titanium Blank Abutments have an engaging implant connection. The design parameters for customized abutments fabricated from Titanium Blank Abutments are:
Minimum wall thickness - 0.4 mm Minimum post height for single-unit restorations - 4.0 mm Minimum gingival height - 0.5 mm Maximum gingival height - 6.7 mm Maximum angulation - 30°
The subject device abutments are made of titanium alloy conforming to ASTM F136 , or cobaltchromium alloy conforming to ASTM F1537. The titanium alloy subject device components are manufactured from identical materials, in the identical facilities using the identical manufacturing processes as used for Blue Sky Bio products cleared previously in K051507, K060957, and K102034.

{7}------------------------------------------------
support of substantial equivalence of the performance testing data, and the reference device K151984 is for support of substantial equivalence of the subject device maximum gingival height of 6.7 mm. Differences among the IFUS for the subject device and these reference devices are wording the implant components included in K102034, K060957, K051507, and K151984; the relevant similarities include wording concerning prosthetic support of single-unit and multi-unit restorations. Similarities between the IFUS for the subject device and K183518 include wording on the intended use for and single-unit and multi-unit restorations and the requirement for use validated milling centers. Minor differences between the IFUS for the subject device and K183518 include specific wording about base abutments and the listing of compatible implant systems. None of these minor differences impact substantial equivalence because all IFUS express an equivalent intended use to facilitate dental prosthetic restorations, and the indications are expressed equivalently using different specific wording.
The subject device abutments have interface connections and platforms that are identical to the compatible Blue Sky Bio dental implants cleared in the reference devices K102034, K060957, and K051507. The subject device includes designs for compatible Blue Sky Bio implant platforms ranging from 2.8 mm (Mini) to 4.5/5.0 mm.
The subject device Titanium Base Abutments, Cobalt Base Abutments, and Titanium Blank Abutments designs are substantially equivalent in material, design, and ranges of sizes to the corresponding abutments in K180536, K191986, K183518, and K151984. The maximum gingival height for the subject device abutments is 6.7 mm, which is substantially equivalent to the gingival height of the CAD-CAM abutments cleared in K151984.
Minor differences in the design parameters for zirconia copings to be used with the subject device base abutments and the predicate device base abutments (minimum wall thickness, maximum gingival height, maximum angulation) are mitigated by mechanical testing performed in conformance with ISO 14801. Similarly, minor differences in the design parameters for the subject device blank abutments and the predicate device blank abutments also are mitigated by mechanical testing performed in conformance with ISO 14801.
The subject device includes abutments made of titanium alloy conforming to ASTM F136. The titanium alloy subject device components are manufactured from identical materials. in the identical facilities using the identical manufacturing processes as used for Blue Sky Bio products cleared previously in the reference devices K051507, K060957, and K102034. In addition, subject device titanium alloy abutments are anodized in various colors for ease of identification of the abutment platform. This anodization process is identical to the anodization process used on Blue Sky Bio abutments cleared in the reference device K102034.
The subject device also includes abutments made of cobalt-chromium alloy conforming to ASTM F1537. Substantial equivalence for the subject device Cobalt Base abutments is supported by use of the same material for abutments in the primary predicate device K191986. The subject device Titanium Base Abutments and Cobalt Base 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 K191986.
Confirmatory biocompatibility testing for the subject device cobalt-chromium alloy and zirconia materials was performed according to ISO 10993-5 and ISO 10993-12.
{8}------------------------------------------------
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, fabricated to the limits stated in the proposed labeling, in combination with previously-cleared compatible Blue Sky Bio implants have sufficient strength for their intended use.
Minor differences in the designs, dimensions, sizes, or compatible implant lines among the subject device, the primary predicate device, and the reference devices do not affect substantial equivalence. These minor differences do not impact safety or effectiveness because these differences are related to the compatible implant designs and are mitigated by the mechanical performance testing.
#### CONCLUSION
The subject device, the primary predicate device, and the reference devices have the same intended use, have similar technological characteristics, and are made of identical or similar materials. The subject device, the primary predicate, and the reference devices encompass the same range of physical dimensions, are packaged in similar materials, and are 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.
