One Series ULTRA Cartridge, Model 1VPR30 and The UNFOLDER Platinum 1 Series Cartridge, Model 1MTEC30 IOL Cartridge Intraocular Lens Guide MSS -
#### SUBSTANTIAL EQUIVALENCE SUMMARY
The One Series ULTRA Cartridge, Model 1VIRP30 and the UNFOLDER Platinum 1 Series Cartridge, Model 1MTEC30, are used in combination with the reusable titanium handpieces by Duckworth & Kent (United Kingdom), Model DK7786 and DK7796 (K081382) to fold and assist in the insertion of AMO Intraocular lenses that allow use of 1VIPR30 and 1MTEC30 in the approved IOL labeling, ONLY into the capsular bag. The cartridges, Model 1VIPR30 and Model 1MTEC30, are single-use devices composed of injection-molded polypropylene. A lubricious coating is applied to the interior surface of the cartridge to facilitate delivery of the IOL into the eye and to prevent IOL damage.
May 4, 2015
{4}------------------------------------------------
The difference between the new 1VIPR30 and 1MTEC30 Cartridges and their predicate device, Cartridge Model 1VIRP30, which is manufactured by AMO and was cleared by FDA on October 2, 2008 (K081545), is the replacement of the biologically-derived internal coating material with a synthetic coating material. The coating will serve as a lubricating agent to reduce friction between the IOL and the polypropylene cartridge through which the IOL travels during insertion.
#### DEVICE DESCRIPTION
The One Series ULTRA Cartridge, Model 1VIPR30, remains unchanged with respect to the predicate device that was cleared on October 2, 2008 under 510(k) K081545. The only modification to the 1VIPR30 device in comparison to the predicate device is with the coating material on the inside of the cartridge. The 1MTEC30 Cartridge is a smaller version of the 1VIPR30 and was assessed under a 510(k) Note-To-File. Both the 1VIPR30 and the 1MTEC30 Cartridges are used to fold and assist in the insertion of AMO Intraocular lenses that allow use of this 1VIPR30 and 1MTEC30 in the approved IOL labeling, ONLY into the capsular bag following cataract extraction: the tip of the cartridge has direct contact with the eye. They are both single-use devices composed of injection-molded polypropylene. The coating of the cleared 1VIPR30 Cartridge (predicate device) is biologically-derived material. The new coating will be made of synthetic materials that meets the same functional specifications of the predicate 1VIPR30 Cartridge.
#### TECHNOLOGICAL CHARTACTERISTICS
No changes have been made to the design, manufacturing process, sterilization method and indication for use of the 1MTEC30 and 1VIPR30 Cartridges when compared to the FDA-cleared 1VIPR30 Cartridge. The change to the IOL cartridge is only to the coating material used on the inside of the device.
#### INDICATIONS FOR USE
The Indications for Use statement of the One Series ULTRA Cartridge, Model 1VIPR30 and The Platinum 1 Series . Model 1MTEC30 are the following:
Either the DK7786 or DK7791 handpiece is used in combination with the ONE SERIES Ultra Cartridge Model 1VIPR30 to fold and assist in inserting AMO intraocular lenses that allow use of this injector in the approved IOL labeling, ONLY into the capsular bag.
The Model DK7796 handpiece is used in combination with the Model 1MTEC30 cartridge to fold and assist in inserting AMO intraocular lenses that allow use of this injector in the approved IOL labeling, ONLY into the capsular bag.
#### SUMMARY OF NON- CLINICAL TESTS
Design verification and validation testing was performed on the 1MTEC30 Cartridge to evaluate IOL recovery properties following simulated surgical manipulation (ISO 11979-3:2012) of the TECNIS 1-Piece Soft Acrylic Lens under worst-case conditions.
{5}------------------------------------------------
Design verification was also performed on the 1VIPR30 Cartridge to evaluate IOL recovery properties following simulated surgical manipulation (ISO11979-3:2012) of the TECNIS 1-Piece Soft Acrylic Lens under worst-case conditions.
#### SUMMARY OF CLINICAL TESTS
No clinical studies were deemed necessary to determine the safety and effectiveness of the One Series Ultra Cartridge, Model 1VIPR30 and the UNFOLDER Platinum 1 Series Cartridge, Model 1MTEC30.
#### CONCLUSIONS
The design verification and validation studies confirmed that the One Series ULTRA Cartridge, Model 1VIPR30 and The UNFOLDER Platinum 1 Series, Model 1MTEC30 with the new synthetic coating perform to the same specifications as the predicate device.
The data from the non-clinical studies demonstrate that the device is as safe and as effective as the legally marketed predicate device.
The One Series ULTRA Cartridge, Model 1VIPR30 and The UNFOLDER Platinum 1 Series Cartridge, Model 1MTEC30 will be manufactured in compliance with FDA and ISO quality system requirement
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.
