HyperFil®-LV will be packaged in single dual-chamber 5 mL syringes. The device comprises catalyst and base components, which are combined just prior to use via a mixing tip which is affixed to the dual chamber syringe.
## 8. Indications for Use
HyperFil®-LV is a dual-cure, tooth shade, resin composite which is indicated for Class I, III, IV, and V restorations, including root surface cavities, post cementing, and core build-ups.
## 9. Comparison of Technological Characteristics
The standards applicable to the subject device and to the comparison of technological characteristics referenced within the submission, include: ADSI/ADA Specification No. 27: Resin-Based Filling Materials, ISO 4049:2009 Dentistry – Polymer Based Restorative Materials, ISO/TS 14569-1:1999 Dental Materials – Guidance on testing of wear resistance – Part 1: Wear by tooth brushing, and BS ISO 23317: 2014 Implants for Surgery – In vitro evaluation for apatite-forming ability of implant materials.
Information provided in this 510(k) submission demonstrates that HyperFil®-LV is substantially equivalent to the Primary Predicate, Parkell's Celerity (K062518) (now marketed by Parkell under the trade name, HyperFil® dual-cure restorative composite) in terms of critical properties for restorative composites (e.g., compressive, tensile, and flexural strength), wherein HyperFil® LV differs from the Primary Predicate in that has a lower viscosity, making it more flowable than the Primary Predicate, and is bioactive as is demonstrated within this 510(k) submission.
Any differences between the Device and the Primary Predicate, for purposes of this 510(k) submission, do not raise new questions of effectiveness or safety. Thus, this submission demonstrates the substantial equivalence of HyperFil®-LV to the Primary Predicate. A brief comparison of HyperFil®-LV to the Primary Predicate is provided in Table 5-A below.
In addition, information has been included regarding a Reference Device (namely, "Composite Resin Core Material", K010475, Parkell, Inc., which is now marketed by Parkell under the trade name "Absolute Dentin®") in order to address any differences in water sorption and water solubility that may exist between the Device and Primary Predicate.

As seen above, the differences between the Device and primary predicate are limited, e.g., to minor differences in chemical components and in packaging. These technological differences do not raise different questions of effectiveness or safety and are addressed by comparative performance data addressed within this submission. Minor differences also exist in the water solubility and water sorption values between the Device and Primary Predicate, though all values meet specifications defined for restoratives in ISO 4049:2009 and information is provided for the Reference Device which is directed to water solubility and sorption. In addition, minor differences exist in the indications-for-use language between the Device and primary predicate. Namely, the indications-for-use language for the Device identifies three common procedures
{6}------------------------------------------------
(namely, root surfaces cavities, post cementing, and core build-ups) which are well known in the art to be encompassed or associated with Class I, II, III, IV, and V restorations (for which the primary predicate is cleared). As such, and for this reason, these differences do not impact the safety and effectiveness of the device.
## 10. Biocompatibility
An evaluation of biocompatibility was conducted to determine the safety of HyperFil®-LV in accordance with ISO 10993-1: 2009, ISO 10993-5: 2009, ISO 10993-5: 2009, ISO 10993-11:2017, ISO 10993-12: 2012, and the Final FDA Guidance, "Use of International Standard ISO 10993-1, "Biological evaluation of medical devices - Part 1: Evaluation and testing within a risk management process" (June 16, 2016). The conclusion of the evaluation is that HyperFil®-LV can be considered biocompatible.
## 11. Clinical Performance Data
There was no clinical testing required to support the Device as the intended uses are equivalent to the Primary Predicate. These types of devices, including the Primary Predicate, have been on the market for many years with no reported adverse events. The non-clinical testing detailed in this submission supports the substantial equivalence of the Device.
## 12. Shelf Life
An evaluation of the shelf life of the Device was conducted following real-time storage of the Device at room temperature, as well as after storage under accelerated aging conditions, via physical properties testing in accordance with ISO 4049:2009 Dentistry – Polymer Based Restorative Materials and ASTM D2583-95: Standard Test Method for Indentation Hardness of Rigid Plastics by Means of a Barcol Impressor.
## 13. Statement of Substantial Equivalence:
The information provided above supports that HyperFil --LV is substantially equivalent to the primary predicate. Although minor differences in design and technology exist between the subject and primary predicate, the testing supports that these differences do not raise any new questions of effectiveness or safety. Therefore, it is concluded that HyperFil" -LV is substantially equivalent to the primary predicate.

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.
