## Equivalent Devices:
The EZvue UV (ocufilcon D) and EZvue Colors (ocufilcon D), Soft Daily Wear Contact Lenses are substantially equivalent to the following predicate devices:
Predicate devices:
- "EZyue (ocufilcon D)" . By I-See Vision Technology Inc. 510(k) number: K082879 Primary Predicate
- "42 UV (hefilcon A)" . By Optical Connection, Inc. 510(k) number: K040900 Reference Predicate
- "Frequency Colors (methafilcon A)" . By Coopervision, Inc. 510(k) number: K001090 Reference Predicate
## EZvue UV(ocufilcon D) Device Description:
The EZvue UV soft contact lenses are hemispherical shells with molded spherical base curves and molded front surfaces.
The nonionic lens material (ocufilcon D) is a hydrophilic co-polymer of 2-Hydroxyethyl methacrylate (2-HEMA) and methacrylic acid, cross-linked with ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (EGDMA), plus an initiator. The co-polymer consists of 45% ocufilcon D and 55% water by weight when immersed in saline solution. The (ocufilcon D) name has been adopted by the United States Adopted Names Council (USAN).
A UV absorbing monomer-2-(Benzoyl-3-hydroxyphenoxy)ethyl acrylate-is incorporated in the contact lens material to block UV radiation. The UV blocking for EZvue UV averages >95% in the UVB range of 280nm - 315nm and >50% in the UVA range of 316nm - 380mm.
EZvue UV lenses are available clear and visibility tinted (for handling) using C.I. Reactive Blue Dye #19. In the hydrated state, the lens conforms to the curvature of the eye covering the cornea and extending slightly beyond the limbus forming a transparent or colored optical surface. The (ocufilcon D) soft hydrophilic contact lens has a spherical back surface. The hydrophilic properties of the lens require that it be maintained in a fully hydrated state in a solution compatible with the eye. If the lens dries out, it will become hard and appear somewhat warped; however, it will return to its proper configuration when completely rehydrated in the proper storage solution.
{6}------------------------------------------------
## EZvue Colors (ocufilcon D) Device Description:
The EZvue Colors soft contact lenses are hemispherical shells with molded spherical base curves and molded front surfaces.
The nonionic lens material (ocufilcon D) is a hydrophilic co-polymer of 2-Hydroxyethyl methacrylate (2-HEMA) and methacrylic acid, cross-linked with ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (EGDMA), plus an initiator. The co-polymer consists of 45% ocufilcon D and 55% water by weight when immersed in saline solution. The (ocufilcon D) name has been adopted by the United States Adopted Names Council (USAN).
EZvue Colors lenses are tinted to enhance or alter the apparent color of the eye. Lenses are tinted with a combination of one or more of the following 'listed' color additives:
| Name of Colorant | Listing |
|-------------------------|------------------|
| C.I. Reactive Blue 19 | 21 CFR § 73.3127 |
| C.I. Pigment Green 7 | 21 CFR § 73.3124 |
| Iron oxides | 21 CFR § 73.3125 |
| C.I. Reactive Yellow 86 | 21 CFR § 73.3121 |
| C.I. Reactive Black 5 | 21 CFR § 73.3127 |
| C.I. Pigment Violet 23 | 21 CFR § 73.3107 |
| Titanium dioxide | 21 CFR § 73.3126 |
Lenses that contain a unique tinting pattern are subsequently processed to incorporate the 'listed' color additives, and contain only the amount of color additive needed to accomplish the intended coloring effect. When producing the tinted lenses, the manufacturing process alters and/or changes the specifications to the clear version of a contact lens by imprinting a listed color additive(s) on the non-optical zone area of the lens, which corresponds to the location of the iris. The imprinted color pattern is surrounded on both sides by layers of contact lens material (ocufilcon D). As part of the manufacturing process, the lenses containing the color additives are thoroughly washed to remove any excess color additives. The color additives used are not removed by lens handling and cleaning/disinfecting procedures. Except for affecting the amount of light transmittance through the lens in the location that corresponds to the iris, the coloring process does not alter the original characteristics of the pre-tinted lens. The tinting pattern has a Clear Pupil diameter of 5.5 to 9.0 mm.
In the hydrated state, the lens conforms to the curvature of the eye covering the cornea and extending slightly beyond the limbus forming a transparent or colored optical surface. The (ocufilcon D) soft hydrophilic contact lens has a spherical back surface. The hydrophilic properties of the lens require that it be maintained in a fully hydrated state in a solution compatible with the eye. If the lens dries out, it will become hard and appear somewhat warped; however, it will return to its proper configuration when completely rehydrated in the proper storage solution.
{7}------------------------------------------------
The physical properties of the EZvue UV (ocufilcon D) and EZvue Colors (ocufilcon D). Soft Daily Wear Contact Lenses are:

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.
