The ATG/SM-OSA appliances are intended to reduce nighttime snoring and mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea in adults. The ATG/SM-OSA appliances are worn while sleeping to support the lower jaw in a forward position prescribed by the dentist. The customized appliance is inserted and removed by the patient and adjusted by the prescribing dentist.
Device Story
ATG/SM-OSA appliances are custom-fabricated intraoral polymer trays; worn by patients during sleep to support mandible in forward position; intended to reduce snoring and mild-to-moderate obstructive sleep apnea. Three designs: Adjustable Herbst, Adjustable Dorsal, and MIRS. Herbst and Dorsal designs utilize stainless steel tubes, rods, or screws to control mandibular protrusion; MIRS design uses lingual rest. Adjustable Herbst may include metallic palate made of dental alloy. Devices fabricated by laboratory per dentist prescription; patient inserts/removes appliance; dentist performs adjustments. Mandibular advancement principle reduces airway obstruction. Clinical benefit: reduction of snoring and apnea symptoms. Risks managed by dentist-led fitting, monitoring, and patient instructions regarding TMJ and dental health.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical or non-clinical testing performed. Substantial equivalence based on design analysis, FMEA risk assessment, and evaluation of materials of construction.
Technological Characteristics
Materials: dental acrylic, dual-laminate polymers, stainless steel, dental alloy (for metallic palate). Principle: mandibular advancement via mechanical linkage (tubes/rods/screws) or lingual rest. Form factor: custom-fitted intraoral trays. Connectivity: none. Sterilization: not specified (custom dental device).
Indications for Use
Indicated for adults with mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea and nighttime snoring. Contraindicated for patients where mandibular advancement may cause TMJ soreness, soft tissue soreness, or dentition complications.

### DATE PREPARED: June 9, 2013
#### TRADE OR PROPRIETARY NAME: ATG/SM-OSA APPLIANCES
CLASSIFICATION NAME: Intraoral devices for snoring and obstructive sleep apnea: CFR 872.5570, Product Code LQZ & LRK
#### PREDICATE DEVICE: K103076
DEVICE DESCRIPTION: The ATG/SM-OSA APPLIANCES are primarily polymer trays that are used intraorally over the dentition to make the mandible protrude. Three designs are included: Adjustable Herbst, Adjustable Dorsal, and MIRS. The mandible protrusion is controlled by stainless steel tubes & rods or screws for the Herbst and Dorsal designs. The MIRS single-piece construction has a lingual rest to set the mandibular protrusion. Each device is fabricated to the prescription of a dentist.
INTENDED USE: The ATG/SM-OSA appliances are intended to reduce nighttime snoring and mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea in adults. The ATG/SM-OSA appliances are worn while sleeping to support the lower jaw in a forward position prescribed by the dentist. The customized appliance is inserted and removed by the patient and adjusted by the prescribing dentist.
TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS vs. the predicate device: The ATG/SM-OSA APPLIANCES are essentially identical in indications for use to the predicate devices of DynaFlex® Anti-snoring and Sleep Apnea Devices: LISA, DORSAL and HERBST ADJUSTABLE Appliances, Both the present and predicate devices are customized for the patient using a prescription from the dentist. The scientific principle for the device is mandibular advancement determined by the design of the device.
Three designs of the ATG-/SM-OSA designs are included which are denoted as MIRS, Adjustable Dorsal and Adjustable Herbst, which we believe are the same as the predicate DynaFlex® Anti-snoring and Sleep Apnea Devices: LISA, DORSAL and
{1}------------------------------------------------
HERBST ADIUSTABLE Appliances, respectively, Both the ATG/SM-OSA APPLIANCES and the predicate DynaFlex® Anti-Snoring & Sleep Apnea Devices are composed primarily of dental polymers. Dental acrylic and dual-laminate polymers are used in the predicate and new designs.
The Herbst and Dorsal designs of both the new and predicate devices include stainless steel fixation attachments that unite the upper and lower mandible trays, to allow for adjustments in the mandibular advancement. Stainless steel attachments are used in the Herbst and Dorsal designs of both the predicate and new devices. The linkage of the upper and lower trays and the trays themselves seem identical for both the predicate and new devices.
A metallic palate design is included for the adjustable Herbst design of the new OSA appliance. The material of the metal palate is a dental allov that is used for partial dentures, which is unlike the predicate Herbst device. However, the metal palate is identical to partial denture designs for the palate, and uses the same materials as partial dentures, with the addition of acrylic and stainless steel attachments on the maxillary posterior buccal area. The designs are completed in the laboratory such that the metal palate does not contact the opposing dentition or polymer tray.
The Lisa design of the predicate and the new MIRS design are essentially the same, using a lingual rest protruding from a polymer tray formed to cover the maxillary dentition. This lingual rest creates mandibular protrusion, designed to meet the prescription of the dentist.
RISKS: Selane Products Inc. performed no clinical or non-clinical testing. However, an FMEA risk analysis, and evaluation of the materials of construction and design were performed. The function of mandibular advancement devices requires that the prescribing dentist be cognizant of the potential for TM| soreness, soft tissue soreness, and dentition complications (soreness, motion, loosening) by mandibular advancement. Management of these risks is achieved by advising the patient and dentist in the directions for use that early and repeated examination of the fit of the device, and its performance, must be performed in the dental office by the prescribing dentist. The contraindications, warnings, precautions, storage directions, prescription preparation instructions, fitting and adjustment directions are written to avoid potential problems from arising or persisting with the dentition, tissue, or joints, caused by the OSA devices. No new materials are being used in the devices; all materials are already used in dental laboratories for other devices of a related nature. No new risks are introduced with the new devices that are not present in the predicate devices.
CONCLUSIONS: By comparison and analysis of the new and predicate devices, we note herein that the intended use, the designs, the functions, and the polymeric and stainless steel materials for the acrylic and the dual-laminate polymer models of the devices are the same as the predicate. The metal palate design of the adjustable Herbst device requires the fabrication technology, material, and palate design that
{2}------------------------------------------------
are used for removable dentures; these characteristics are suitable for the ATG/SM-OSA devices, because they do not change the function of the Herbst adjustable device, and do not affect safety or efficacy for mandibular advancement and treatment of mild to moderate OSA.
We believe that the analysis provided herein supports the substantial equivalence in safety and effectiveness to the predicate device, and we believe the new devices are as safe, as effective, and perform as well as the legally marketed 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.
