Indications for Use
InterOss® Collagen is indicated for filling of extraction sockets to enhance preservation of the alveolar ridge. InterOss® Collagen is recommended for: Filling of extraction sockets to enhance preservation of the alveolar ridge Filling of periodontal defects in extraction sockets in conjunction with products intended for Guided Tissue Regeneration (GTR) and Guided Bone Regeneration (GBR)
Device Story
InterOss Collagen is a composite bone grafting material consisting of 90% anorganic hydroxyapatite (bovine-derived) and 10% porcine Type I collagen fibers. Used in periodontal, oral, and maxillofacial surgery; the device acts as an osteoconductive scaffold for bone ingrowth. The collagen component improves handling and adaptation to the defect site. The device is provided in various block and plug shapes, is single-use, and terminally sterilized via gamma-irradiation. Upon placement in bony voids, the scaffold supports natural bone healing and is gradually resorbed and replaced by host bone. It is intended for use by clinicians in a dental or surgical setting.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical studies were required. Evidence consists of bench testing (porosity, surface area, compressive/elastic modulus, water absorption, chemical purity) and a comparative in vivo study in a canine two-wall intrabony defect model. The animal study demonstrated that biocompatibility, performance, and healing outcomes for InterOss Collagen were indistinguishable from the predicate device.

### 5. Device Description
InterOss Collagen is a combination of InterOss®, an anorganic hydroxyapatite bone substitute, and collagen fibers for use in periodontal, oral and maxillofacial surgery. This product is a composite of 90% InterOss® (granules of size 0.25-1mm) and 10% porcine collagen fibers. InterOss®, which is already a cleared device by the FDA (K151209), is a hydroxyapatite material derived from Australian bovine bone. The osteoconductive mineral structure is produced from bone through a multi-step purification process. Following placement in bony voids or gaps InterOss® acts as an osteoconductive scaffold for the ingrowth of adjacent viable bone. InterOss® gradually resorbs and is replaced with bone during the healing process. The collagen component facilitates the adaptation of Inter Osse to the allowing easier handling. The product is non-pyrogenic, single use only, and terminally sterilized via gamma-irradiation.

# 8. Non-clinical Testing
A series of in vivo and in vitro testing of the subject device was conducted to demonstrate chemical and physical properties, biocompatibility, and substantial equivalence of the subject device to its predicate device. The following
{7}------------------------------------------------
performance data are provided in support of the substantial equivalence determination.
## Physical/Chemical Properties
Collagen component was assessed for collagen stability, purity, resistance to trypsin, amino acid analysis, and ELISA assays were performed on collagen samples. Amino acid analysis showed that the collagen contains 80-87% protein (w/w) and the hydroxyproline content within range from 9.4-10.04% (w/w), and ELISA confirmed the presence of predominantly Type I collagen. SDS PAGE on porcine collagen showed signature alpha bands while exposure to collagenase showed no bands confirming collagen purity. Resistance to trypsin was confirmed by a temporal trypsin resistance test.
InterOss Collagen was evaluated for the porous structure/interconnected pores via scanning electron microscopy. Porosity measurement was performed using mercury porosimetry and confirmed porosity greater than 75% while the average pore diameter ranged from 0.12-0.15 um. Surface area was measured using Brunauer-Emmett-Teller method that confirmed that the article measures than 75 m²/g. Compressive and elastic modulus testing showed the values of >1 MPa and >3 MPa respectively at 50% compressive strain. Total residual crude fat analysis using chemical ether extraction showed fat content to be less than 3% (w/w). The moisture content in InterOss Collagen measured using thermogravimetric analyzer showed values of approximately 3.1% (w/w). Peak denaturation temperature was measured to be between 210-230°C using Differential Scanning Calorimetry. No heavy metals within the detection limit (1 ppm) were found in InterOss Collagen when measured using ICP-MS. Water absorption testing showed InterOss Collagen absorbs more than 100% of its weight when immersed in deionized water at room temperature. Water solubility test found InterOss Collagen to be not soluble.
## Biocompatibility Testing
A series of in vitro and in vivo biocompatibility testing was performed to assess the safety of the subject device. Testing was determined in accordance with ISO 10993-1 and FDA Guidance on Use of International Standard ISO 10993-1 for the biological evaluation of medical devices within a risk management process.

The biocompatibility testing performed is summarized in the table below.
### Animal Testing
The performance of the device in a canine two-wall intrabony defect model was compared to the performance of the predicate device, OCS-B Collagen. The objective of this study was to evaluate the in vivo performance, local effects following implantation, and systemic toxicity of the test article, Inter Oss Collagen, in comparison to a predicate and empty control in beagle dogs with mandibular defects as a dental application.
By all the parameters evaluated in the study, biocompatibility, performance, and healing of InterOss Collagen treated defects were indistinguishable from those treated with the predicate. The results demonstrate performance substantially equivalent to the predicate device OCS-B Collagen when used as intended.

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).

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.
