The system provides software to preoperatively plan dental implantation procedures and provides navigational guidance of the surgical instruments.
Device Story
Neocis Guidance System (NGS) is a dental stereotaxic instrument for dental implantation. Input: CBCT scan of patient anatomy. Transformation: Planning software (Yomi Plan) creates 3D model for virtual implant placement; system uses robotic guide arm to provide haptic feedback, constraining drill motion to the pre-operative plan. Output: Physical, visual, and audible guidance to surgeon. Used in dental clinics by surgeons. Patient tracker assembly monitors movement; system adjusts cutting angle/position/depth in real-time to maintain accuracy. Benefits: Precise osteotomy, avoidance of critical structures (nerves/sinuses), and haptic constraint to prevent plan deviation. Subject device adds Intraoral Fiducial Array (IOFA) accessory to allow use with smaller field-of-view CT scanners.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical or animal testing was conducted. Evidence consists of bench testing, including registration testing, autoclave cycle testing, kinematic mount repeatability, scan artifact testing, fit clearance simulation, total system accuracy, and IOFA deflection testing. End-user validation was performed via nonclinical surrogate simulation.
Indicated for partially edentulous and fully edentulous adult patients who qualify for dental implantation surgery, providing preoperative planning and intraoperative navigational guidance for surgical instruments.

{4}------------------------------------------------
In terms of previously FDA-cleared indications for use (K200805), the Neocis Guidance System (NGS) is a computerized navigational system intended to provide assistance in both the planning (pre-operative) and the surgical (intra-operative) phases of dental implantation surgery. The system provides software to preoperatively plan dental implantation procedures and provides navigational guidance of the surgical instruments. The NGS is intended for use in partially edentulous and fully edentulous adult patients who qualify for dental implants.
Image /page/4/Picture/4 description: The image shows a Yomi robotic surgery system. The system includes a monitor, planning station PC, lift column, base cart, robotic guide arm, and patient tracker. The monitor and planning station PC display the Yomi logo. The robotic guide arm is positioned above the lift column and base cart.
Figure 1. Overview of the Neocis Guidance System (NGS). Major components list below.
{5}------------------------------------------------
- 1. Monitor: Provides visibility of Yomi Plan for the user and operative teamduring a procedure. Displays the same information as the Planning station laptop PC
- 2. Planning Station Laptop PC: Used to execute Yomi Plan for planning and surgery. This PC is used during the procedure as well to execute commands for the Guide Arm. There is not separate keyboard. (Not intended for removal and use by itself for planning. Remote preplanning shall be executed on a different third party PC that is not connected to the NGS or provided by Neocis.)
- 3. Lift Column: Supports the Robotic Guide Arm and Patient Tracker assembly and is used to adjust the height of the assembly.
- 4. Base Cart: Supports the NGS, provides mobility with four swivel casters and locks in position with the foot brake lever. Contains control PC and UPS.
- 5. Robotic Guide Arm: Used to assist the surgeon in performing the surgery. Holds dental drill and provides haptic feedback on position with respect to the plan.
- 6. Patient Tracker: Attached to Patient Splint via the End Effector to monitor and relay any changes in patient position.
The system allows the user to plan the surgery virtually in Yomi Plan (K191363-cleared for use alone on third party PCs for preplanning). The operative plan is based on a cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) scan of the patient, which is used to create a 3-D model of the patient anatomy in our planning software. The plan is used by a guidance system to provide physical, visual, and audible feedback to the surgeon during the implant site preparation. The NGS robotic arm holds and guides a standard FDA-cleared third party powered bone cutting instrument (K191605).
The patient tracking portion of the NGS is comprised of linkages from the patient to the NGS, which include the Chairside Patient Splint (CPS) (K173402) or Edentulous Patient Splint (EPS) (K200805), the End Effector (EE) and the Patient Tracker (PT). The Patient Splint is attached to the contralateral side of the patient's mouth over stable teeth. The CPS is placed on the patient using on-label dental materials (K182776) prior to the presurgical CBCT scan. The EPS is placed using bone screws prior to the presurgical CBCT scan (appropriate local anesthesia is required).
A Fiducial Array (FA) with radio-opaque fiducial markers is placed on the CPS prior to the CBCT scan so the virtual plan can be related to the physical space of the system using the markers. The PT is an electromechanical feedback system that is connected to the CPS on the patient, which relays information to the NGS in order to track patient movement. If patient movement occurs during the surgical procedure, the system will respond by altering the prescribed surgical cutting angle, position, and depth to accommodate the patient movement, which will maintain the accuracy of the osteotomy.
For partially edentulous patients, surgeons now have the option to use our new Clamped
{6}------------------------------------------------
Chairside Patient Splint (CCPS) (K202100). The implant process occurs in two phases: (1) The dental surgeon plans the surgical procedure with the planning software, on the day of surgery or sometime prior if a pre-operative CT scan was taken at an earlier visit. A virtual dental implant, selected from the dental implant library or using a generic model, both contained within our planning software (Yomi Plan), is placed at the desired location in the virtual patient model within our planning software. The software highlights critical anatomical structures to avoid, such as the inferior alveolar nerve or maxillary sinuses. (2) When the dental implant plan is optimized, the NGS provides precise and accurate guidance of the dental surgical instruments according to the pre-operative plan. The NGS robotic arm, which holds the powered bone cutting tool, provides haptic feedback to the surgeon by constraining the motion of the bone cutting instrument to the plan. This allows the surgeon to feel resistance to attempts at motions that may deviate from the plan. The bone cutting tool's foot pedal control is not connect to the NGS guide arm. Once the guide arm places the bone cutting tool into position according to the operative plan, the surgeon must activate the tool using the provided foot pedal associated with the bone cutting tool control box. The surgeon may modify the plan intraoperatively, if needed, has direct visualization of the patient anatomy, and is always in control of the surgical instrument.
Key safety features include:
- Emergency stop
- Automatic software-controlled safety pause triggered by joint or force limits
- Audio and visual queues
- Drill torque limits provided by the drill control console
- Full surgeon control and direct visualization of the surgical field
The subject of this submission is adding Intraoral Fiducial Array (IOFA) as a new device accessory based on a previously cleared design.
Image /page/6/Picture/11 description: The image shows two views of a black plastic tool. The tool has a flat, wide blade at the bottom and a handle with a hole at the top. There are several small, raised bumps on the handle. Text is visible on the blade of the tool.
Figure 2. LLUR and LRUL Intraoral Fiducial Arrays.
{7}------------------------------------------------
The IOFA is intended for use in clinical sites with reduced scan volumes. The IOFA is designed to reside with all the fiducial beads within the patient's mouth. The IOFA can only be used with the C-CPS.
The Intraoral Fiducial Array corresponds directly to the type of C-CPS being used. There are four basic types of C-CPS.
- . Lower Left/ Upper Right (LLUR) Posterior- sits on teeth 11-15 for the maxilla or teeth 27-31 for the mandible.
- . Lower Right/ Upper Left (LRUL) Posterior- sits on teeth 2-6 for the maxilla or teeth 18-22 for the mandible.
- . Lower Left/ Upper Right (LLUR) Anterior- sits on teeth 6-11 for the maxilla or teeth 22-27 for the mandible.
- . Lower Right/Upper Left (LRUL) Anterior- sits on teeth 6-11 for the maxilla or teeth 22-27 for the mandible.
A LLUR C-CPS requires an LLUR Intraoral Fiducial Array, and an LRUL C-CPS requires an LRUL Intraoral Fiducial Array. See Figure 2 for LLUR and LRUL Fiducial Arrays.
The IOFA uses kinematic features to attach to the C-CPS and therefore has only one correct orientation.

The design changes in this submission involve adding a new Intraoral Fiducial Array (IOFA), which is a modified version of the Fiducial Array. The IOFA is a separate part that mounts to the Clamped Chairside Patient Splint (C-CPS) and contains fiducial markers for registration in CBCT scans prior to surgery. The IOFA is intended to sit intra-orally, which allows for use smaller field of view CT scanners. We have implemented the same affixation methods and technology as the predicate device. We have adopted the same indications for use as the predicate device.
We think that the subject device:
- Has a legally marketed predicate, .
- . Has the same intended use as the predicate,
- Has somewhat different technological characteristics that do not raise different questions of safety and effectiveness, ●
- For which we have provided adequate performance testing to show that ●
- · Those different technological characteristics are substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
Therefore, the subject device is substantially equivalent.

### Validation
- . IOFA End User Validation
- To validate the user requirements of the Intraoral Fiducial Array, as performed by a surgeon (end user). This validation activity is a nonclinical surrogate that simulates the process of applying, qualitatively evaluating rigidity, and removing a Intraoral Fiducial Array directly to a patient.
Animal or clinical testing was not conducted for the subject device.
### Conclusion:
The IOFA is substantially equivalent to the predicate. There are no changes to the intended use or to the fundamental technology, and there are no new risks to patients or users.
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.
