Indications for Use
SuperView (polymacon) soft (hydrophilic) contact lens for daily wear is indicated for the correction of visual acuity in not-aphakic persons with nondiseased eyes that are myopia (nearsighted) and may exhibits refractive astigmatism up to 2.00 diopters that does not interfere with visual acuity. The eye care practitioner may prescribe the contact lens for frequent replacement wear, with cleaning, rinsing and disinfection and scheduled replacement. The contact lens may be disinfected using heat (not chemical), hydrogen peroxide, or chemical (not heat) disinfection system.
Device Story
SuperView is a soft hydrophilic contact lens made of polymacon (HEMA crosslinked with EGDMA). It features a 38.5% water content and a blue visibility tint (Reactive blue 19). Produced via spin-casting to create a non-spherical flexible surface, the lens covers the cornea to correct refractive errors. Lenses are supplied sterile in blister packs with phosphate-buffered saline. Used by patients for daily wear, the lens is prescribed by eye care practitioners who determine the replacement schedule and appropriate cleaning/disinfection regimen (heat, hydrogen peroxide, or chemical). The device improves patient vision by compensating for myopia and astigmatism.
Clinical Evidence
Clinical study conducted on 60 human eyes over 6 months. Primary endpoints included vision correction efficacy and patient satisfaction. Results showed nearly 100% vision correction and high patient satisfaction. No severe complications reported. Additional evidence includes historical usage data from international markets (Taiwan, China, Japan, Europe) showing stable performance.

The contact lens may be disinfected using heat (not chemical), hydrogen peroxide, or chemical (not heat) disinfection system.
#### Description of Device:
SuperView (polymacon) soft (hydrophilic) contact lens for daily wear with water content (38.5%) when immersed in a sterile saline solution. lt
{1}------------------------------------------------
consists of a polymer of 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) crosslinked with Ethylene Glycol Dimethacrylate (EGDMA) served as crosslinker. The lenses are produced by spin-casting method to form non-spherical flexible surface, which covers the cornea. The SuperView Contact lens with visible tint is tinted blue using C.) Reactive blue 19 to make the lens more visible for handling. Lenses are supplied sterile in sealed blister PP cup containing isotonic phosphate buffered saline solution. The compatibility and package integrity of the blister cup packaging system has been demonstrated and successfully used for other marketed lens products, and packaged lenses are effectively steam sterilized in a validated autoclave.
#### Summary of Clinical Study:
The SuperView lenses were test in 60 human eyes separately within 6 months. Nearly a hundred percent of the participants' vision was corrected and nearly all were satisfied with the lens wearing and care of lenses. The ophthalmologists concludes, based on the specified clinical protocol, that the achieved report demonstrates the SuperView Lenses are safe and effective means of daily wear vision correction and make sure they are a good fit for the human eyes.
Furthermore, SuperView lenses have been wide-used around the world, including Taiwan, China, Europe, Japan, etc. Among the users being daily worn the Super\/iew lenses, all the procedure was in generally stable condition without severe complication to be observed.
#### Nonclinical Studies:
A series of non-clinical performance tests were performed to demonstrate the safety and effectiveness of the SuperView Soft Contact lens, and establish substantial equivalence to currently marketed predicate lenses-Optima FW™ (polymacon) Visibility Tinted Contact Lenses (NDA number N16895/S087) & SeeQuence (polymacon) Contact Lens for Daily Wear made from Bausch & Lomb Inc. The evidence of substantial equivalent to the predicate lens described as follow:
- a) Technological characteristics studies
SuperView lenses designs in the following parameter ranges:
Diameter range; 13.7 to 14.1 mm
Power range: Plano to -12.00D
Center thickness: varies with power (0.08 to 0.12 mm for -3.00D) Lenses have the following properties:

{2}------------------------------------------------
Refractive index: 1.437 (hydrated) Light transmittance: >93% Water content: 38.5 % Oxygen permeability (edged corrected) : 8.6x 10-11 [(cm²/sec)(ml O3/ml-mmHg)] @ 35°C
These characteristics of SuperView Contact lenses are equivalent and comparable to that of predicate lenses.
- b) Biocompatibility
In accordance with the May 1994 Guidance Document for daily wear contact lenses, toxicity studies have been conducted on the model: SuperView Contact lens. The Irritation test in the rabbit eye and Systemic toxicity studies in the mouse indicate the extracts would be considered as non-toxic, nor irritated. The Cytotoxicity inspect demonstrates the lens is not cytotoxic under the conditions of the study.
- c) Microbiology
The lens sterilization process, steam sterilization, has been validated to deliver a minimum SAL of 10*, thereby meeting the requirement of FDA Group I. There is shelf-life stability data supporting that the lens remains sterile through the three years of expiration date claimed for the product.
- d) Leachability
Studies were conducted to determine the leachable materials from the finished lens. The results show that, at the levels of the detection reported, there are no leachable monomers and addictive residues.
#### Substantial equivalence Statement:
Testing performed on the SuperView (polymacon) soft (hydrophilic) contact lens for daily wear indicated that it can support the efficiency and safety use as well as the predicate devices- Optima FW™ (polymacon) Visibility Tinted Contact Lenses (NDA number N16895/S087) & SeeQuence (polymacon) Contact Lens for Daily Wear made from Bausch & Lomb Inc., when used in accordance with the instructions for use. It is due to the facts that both fall into the same FDA material classification grouping (Group 1), USAN name (Polymacon), intended use, and efficiency & safety. In conclusion, it is Innova's conviction that data submitted in this 510(k) to validate the claim of substantial equivalency, the SuperView soft contact lens with the same established safety profile and effectiveness as the predicate device.

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.
