# Device Description Summary
21 CFR 807.92(a)(4)
Individual Patient Solutions - Ti (IPS-Ti) (K062570)*:
The Individual Patient Solutions - Ti (IPS-Ti) is a preformed implant manufactured from Titanium material. The implant is pre-shaped to fit the anatomy of the patient using a CT-based model of the patient's skull. The IPS-Ti is fixated to native bone using previously cleared KLS Martin titanium screws.
Individual Patient Solutions - PEEK (IPS-PEEK) (K072707)*:
The Individual Patient Solutions - PEEK (IPS-PEEK) is a preformed implant manufactured from PEEK material. The implant is pre-shaped to fit the anatomy of the patient using a CT-based model of the patient's skull. The IPS-PEEK is fixated to native bone using previously cleared KLS Martin titanium plates and screws.
KLS Martin Individual Patient Solutions (K210731):
KLS Martin Individual Patient Solutions (IPS) is comprised of a collection of software and associated additive manufacturing equipment intended to produce various outputs to support reconstructive and orthognathic surgeries. The system processes the medical images to produce various patient-specific physical and/or digital output devices which include implants, anatomical models, guides, splints, and case reports.
Patient-specific metallic bone plates are used in conjunction with metallic bone screws for internal fixation of maxillofacial, midface, and mandibular bones. The devices are manufactured based on medical imaging (CT scan) of the patient's anatomy with input from the physician during virtual planning and prior to finalization and production of the device. The physician provides input for model manipulation and interactive feedback by viewing digital models of planned outputs that are modified by trained KLS Martin engineers during the planning session. For each design iteration, verification is performed by virtually fitting the generated output device over a 3D model of the patient's anatomy to ensure its dimensional properties allow an adequate fit.
Implants are provided non-sterile and are manufactured using traditional (subtractive) or additive manufacturing methods from either CP Titanium (ASTM F67) or Ti-6Al4V (ASTM F136). These patient-specific devices are fixated with previously cleared KLS Martin screws.

# Indications for Use Comparison
21 CFR 807.92(a)(5)
The indications for use for the subject and predicate devices are identical. The basis of this submission is to support the conditional safety and labeling modification of the subject device, KLS Martin IPS Oral-Max Implants - MR Conditional, in the magnetic resonance environment.
# Technological Comparison
21 CFR 807.92(a)(6)
Similarities to the Predicate Devices
{6}
The subject and predicate devices have the same intended use, design, manufacturing methods, principles of operation, sterilization, packaging, and overall technological characteristics. The subject devices continue to be manufactured from commercially pure titanium and are intended for the same clinical applications as the legally marketed predicate devices.
Differences from the Predicate Devices
MR Environment Safety Information:
The subject device labeling differs from the predicate device labeling by adding safety information for use in the magnetic resonance environment. Non-clinical testing has been performed to support the conditional safety of the subject device in the MR environment. Hazards addressed include magnetically induced displacement force (ASTM F2052-21) and torque (ASTM F2213-17), image artifacts (ASTM F2119-07, R2013), and RF induced heating (ASTM F2182-19e2).
Material Grade Change and Mechanical Performance:
The applicable IPS Trauma acute mandible trauma (AMT) implants include a material grade change from ASTM F67 commercially pure titanium Grade 2 to ASTM F67 commercially pure titanium Grade 4. No changes have been made to the implant design, dimensions, manufacturing process, compatible components, or intended use. The material grade is the only technological difference between the subject and predicate devices.
Comparative static and dynamic mechanical testing was performed on the worst-case device configuration using devices that were identical in design, dimensions, and manufacturing procedures, with the material grade being the only variable. The testing demonstrated that the material grade change does not negatively affect device performance and supports equivalent or improved mechanical performance compared to the previously cleared Grade 2 implants. Therefore, the material grade change does not raise different questions of safety or effectiveness.
Conclusion
Based on the technological comparison and the mechanical performance testing provided in this submission, the subject devices remain substantially equivalent to the legally marketed predicate devices.
# Non-Clinical and/or Clinical Tests Summary & Conclusions 21 CFR 807.92(b)
Nonclinical Testing:
MR Environment Safety Testing:
Nonclinical testing has been provided to support the conditional safety of the subject devices in the MR environment. Hazards addressed include magnetically induced displacement force (ASTM F2052-21) and torque (ASTM F2213-17), image artifacts (ASTM F2119-07, R2013), and RF-induced heating (ASTM F2182-19e2).
Performance data demonstrate that KLS Martin IPS Oral-Max Implants, when used in the MR environment using specified MR parameters and instructions, are not adversely affected by magnetically-induced displacement force and torque, RF-heating, and image artifacts.
Material Grade Change and Mechanical Performance Testing:
The applicable IPS Trauma acute mandible trauma (AMT) implants include a material grade change from ASTM F67 commercially pure titanium Grade 2 to ASTM F67 commercially pure titanium Grade 4. No changes have been made to the implant design, dimensions, manufacturing process, compatible components, or intended use. The material grade is the only technological difference between the subject and predicate devices.
Comparative static and dynamic mechanical testing was performed on the worst-case device configuration using devices that were identical in design, dimensions, and manufacturing procedures, with the material grade being the only variable. The testing demonstrated that the material grade change does not negatively affect device performance and supports equivalent or improved mechanical performance compared to the previously cleared Grade 2 implants. Therefore, the material grade change does not raise different questions of safety or effectiveness.
Clinical Testing:
Not Applicable
Conclusions:
Based on the results of the nonclinical testing and other supporting information, KLS Martin IPS Oral-Max Implants can be safely scanned under the conditions presented in the labeling and has been demonstrated to be substantially equivalent to the predicate devices with respect to intended use, technological characteristics, and performance. Any differences in design or materials do not raise new questions of safety and effectiveness. Therefore, the subject device is as safe, effective, and performs as intended within the parameters of MR Conditional use as the legally marketed predicate devices.
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.
