Device Story
COMPLETE® brand Multi-Purpose Solution is a chemical contact lens care solution; used for cleaning, rinsing, disinfecting, storing, protein removal, and conditioning of soft (hydrophilic) contact lenses. The device is intended for use by contact lens wearers following instructions provided by an eye care practitioner. The solution replaces heat-based disinfection methods. Clinical evaluation compared a standard regimen (rub, rinse, soak) against a modified regimen (rinse, soak, mandatory rinse) in subjects using hydrogel lenses. The solution is applied directly to lenses by the user; it functions as a chemical agent to maintain lens hygiene and comfort. The product does not involve electronic components, software, or complex algorithms.
Clinical Evidence
Three-month, parallel-group clinical study with 157 subjects using hydrogel contact lenses. Subjects randomized to standard or modified (rinse, soak, mandatory rinse) regimens. Primary endpoint: mean change from baseline in lens comfort score. Results showed no statistically significant differences between regimens in comfort, vision quality, or slit lamp examination findings (edema, hyperemia, etc.). Cleaning effectiveness was confirmed via laboratory analysis of returned lenses. No unanticipated adverse device effects reported.
Technological Characteristics
Chemical contact lens care solution. No changes to product formulation. Non-electronic, non-mechanical. No software or algorithm components.
Indications for Use
Indicated for the care of soft (hydrophilic) contact lenses for users as recommended by an eye care practitioner.

### 510(k) SUMMARY COMPLETE® brand Multi-Purpose Solution October 16, 2000 Page 2 of 3
#### (b)(1) Discussion of Nonclinical:
Microbiological Studies: We evaluated disinfection efficacy using methods outlined in FDA's May 1, 1997, Premarket Notification [510(k)] Guidance Document for Contact Lens Care Products. COMPLETE® brand Multi-Purpose Solution meets FDA requirements for disinfection of contact lenses when used with the modified cleaning regimen. The product also meets USP Modified criteria for Preservative Effectiveness Testing and USP Sterility test requirements as shown by previous testing.
Toxicological Studies: Toxicological studies were included in 510(k) K003252 for frequent replacement lenses, on October 16, 2000.
#### (b)(2) Discussion of Clinical Data:
Nine investigators enrolled 157 subjects who replace hydrogel contact lenses at intervals of three months or longer (conventional wear) in a three-month, parallel group study. Subjects received new lenses and were randomized to use COMPLETE® in either the standard (rub, rinse, soak, optional rinse) regimen or a modified (rinse, soak, mandatory rinse) regimen. One-hundred and fifty-one subjects completed the study with three subjects withdrawing from each regimen.
The primary acceptability variable was mean change from baseline in lens comfort score. The modified regimen group was demonstrated to be noninferior to the standard regimen by constructing 95% confidence intervals around the mean changes from baseline in lens comfort at Day 90.
Acceptability Results: There was no statistically significant difference between the two regimens in:
- Mean lens comfort score at baseline or at any follow-up visit .
- Symptoms of discomfort .
- . Maximum severity grade of any symptom of discomfort
- . Number of subject visits with clinically significant symptoms of discomfort (all causes).
- Change from baseline for burning and stinging, blurry vision, unusual eye . secretion, excessive tearing, itchinq, increased lens awareness, redness, or light sensitivity
- Overall subjective vision quality .
- . Mean lens wearing time
- Average daily lens wearing time change from baseline .
- Number of Type II or Type IV lenses analyzed at the final study visit .
- Subject ratings of the contact lens solution used, comfort rating, and vision . quality.

### 510(k) SUMMARY COMPLETE® brand Multi-Purpose Solution October 16, 2000 Page 3 of 3
#### Discussion of Clinical Data (Continued): (b)(2)
Safety Results: No subject in either regimen experienced an unanticipated adverse device effect or a sight-threatening event, iritis, infiltrate, ulcer, ocular infection, or two-grade change in neovascularization.
There were no statistically significant differences between the two regimens in:
- Worst severity of subject eyes at each visit for the slit lamp examination . findings of edema, corneal neovascularization, bulbar hyperemia, palpebral conjunctival observations, or other complications
- Maximum severity grade of any slit lamp examination finding .
- Maximum Joseline and the worst change from baseline in any slit lamp . parameter
- Number of subjects with clinically significant slit lamp examination findings .
- Number of visits with clinically significant slit lamp examination findings .
- Change from baseline in study lens-corrected visual acuity .
- Number of eyes discontinued from the study, in the average wear time of . lenses, or in the number of missed visits.
Cleaning Effectiveness: Lenses from the clinical study were returned to Allergan and examined in the laboratory for surface deposits and general Allergan and Results show that COMPLETE® brand Multi-Purpose Solution used with the modified regimen is equivalent to the standard regimen and is an effective cleaner for soft (hydrophilic) contact lenses.
Conclusion: COMPLETE® brand Multi-Purpose Solution used with a modified regimen has an acceptable safety profile and is as effective as COMPLETE® Multi-Purpose Solution used with a standard regimen among hydrogel contact lens wearers who replace their lenses on a conventional replacement schedule of three months or longer.
- Conclusions Drawn from Data Supporting Equivalence Determination: (b)(3) We conclude that the safety, efficacy and acceptability of COMPLETE® brand Multi-Purpose Solution, when used with the modified regimen, is substantially equivalent to COMPLETE® brand Multi-Purpose Solution used with the standard regimen and other multipurpose solutions currently on the market.

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.
