- 4. Description of Device:
PureSet Trays are reusable surgical trays to be used in combination with Nobel Biocare surgical instruments and components. PureSet Trays are used to organize and store the instruments and components during both surqical and reprocessing procedures.
PureSet Trays are not intended to maintain sterility on their own; they are intended to be used in conjunction with an FDA cleared sterilization wrap, pouch, or container.
All components of the PureSet Tray are perforated with an evenly-distributed hole pattern and are designed to be used for sterilization via steam sterilization. Because the PureSet Trays are perforated, an FDA-cleared sterilization wrap, pouch, or container must be used during sterilization and storage to maintain the sterility of the contents.
PureSet Trays are designed to be used with standard autoclaves used in hospitals and healthcare facilities.
# Principle of Operation / Mechanism of Action:
PureSet Trays consist of multiple components (tray base, lid, and plate) integrated into a single unit which is used to organize instruments during surgical procedures and to protect the instruments during transportation, reprocessing, and storage.

# 6. Technological Characteristic Comparison:
Details of the Similarities Between the Subject and Predicate Devices:
The similarities between the NobelSpeedy® Groovy / Brånemark System® Mk III TiUnite / Replace Select™ TC PureSet™ Tray (Subject Device), the Primary Predicate Device NobelActive / NobelParallel CC PureSet Tray (K181075), and Predicate Device #2 Nobel Biocare N1™ PureSet Tray (K191475) as described in Table 5.1 are as follows:
- The Intended Use statement, design aspects including tray perforation, sterilant . penetration, tray configuration, and reusability, the materials of construction, the
{6}------------------------------------------------
sterilization methods and parameters for reprocessing (including the microbial barriers to be used), the compatibility of the tray materials with the prescribed sterilization methods, and the approach to non-clinical performance testing are all identical for the subject device and both predicate devices.
- The macro design of the subject device is identical to the primary predicate device. Both ● the subject device and the primary predicate device are single level trays which have an integrated handle. The dimensions of the subject and primary predicate devices are identical, and they have an identical volume to vent ratio.
# Details of the Differences Between the Subject and Predicate Devices:
There are no significant differences between the subject and predicate devices but there are minor differences as follows:
- The Indications for Use for the subject device is similar but not identical to both predicate . devices. It differs from the statement for the primary predicate because it includes the subject device, as well as three trays that were referenced in the Indications statement for predicate device #2. It differs from the statement for predicate device #2 because it includes the subject device, as well as minor updates to the maximum validated load for several of the referenced trays as follows:
- NobelActive / NobelParallel CC PureSet Tray (PUR0200): 1122 grams instead of O 1082 grams
- NobelReplace CC PureSet Tray (PUR0300): 1063 grams instead of 945 grams O
- NobelActive Guided PureSet Tray (PUR0600): 1143 grams instead of 1117 grams O
- NobelParallel CC Guided PureSet Tray (PUR0700): 1146 grams instead of 1120 O grams
- NobelReplace CC Guided PureSet Tray (PUR0800): 1176 grams instead of 1156 O grams
- The macro design of the subject device is similar but not identical to predicate device #2. ● Both trays are single level trays, but the subject tray has an integrated handle whereas predicate device #2 does not.
- . The dimensions of the subject device are greater than predicate device #2 due to the larger assortment of instruments used with the subject tray. As a result, the volume to vent ratio for the subject device also is greater than predicate device #2.
Table 5.1 presents a comparison of the subject device, primary predicate device, and predicate device #2 with regard to their indications for use, technology, and performance specifications.

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.

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.
