AI/ML Overview

This is some information about the device BAUSCH & LOMB" SENSITIVE EYES" MULTI-PURPOSE SOLUTION. I will do my best to extract the requested information.

1. Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

The submission states that the device is "substantially equivalent" to the predicate device, BAUSCH & LOMB ReNu Multi-Purpose Solution. This implies that the acceptance criteria for the new device were that its performance should be comparable or demonstrate no clinically significant differences from the predicate device across various parameters.

Acceptance Criteria (Implied: Equivalence to Predicate)Reported Device Performance (Summary of Findings)
Preclinical: Physical, chemical, and microbiological properties equivalent to predicate."The results of these studies indicate that the physical, chemical and microbiological properties of the BAUSCH & LOMB Sensitive Eyes Multi-Purpose Solution are equivalent to BAUSCH & LOMB ReNu Multi-Purpose Solution."
Preclinical: Non-toxic"The solution is not toxic and extracts of lenses treated with the solution are not toxic when tested in laboratory animals."
Clinical: No clinically significant differences in: clinical findings, visual acuity, lens replacement, lens deposits, subject discontinuations, and lens wearing times."Analysis of all data from this study showed no clinically significant differences between the Test and Control Groups for clinical findings, visual acuity, lens replacement, lens deposits, discontinued subjects and lens wearing times for the Test and Control groups."

2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance

  • Test Set Sample Size: A total of 154 subjects were enrolled in the clinical study. Of these, 102 were in the Test (BAUSCH & LOMB Sensitive Eyes Multi-Purpose Solution) group and 52 were in the Control (BAUSCH & LOMB ReNu Multi-Purpose Solution) group. There were 98 completed subjects in the Test group and 51 completed subjects in the Control group.
  • Data Provenance: The document does not explicitly state the country of origin of the data. The study was a "three (3) month randomized, parallel, double-masked, controlled clinical study," indicating it was a prospective study.

3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and Their Qualifications

The document does not provide information on specific "experts" used to establish ground truth in the traditional sense (e.g., radiologists reviewing images). The clinical study involved "seven (7) Investigators." It is assumed these investigators, who would be eye care practitioners, collected and evaluated the clinical findings that served as the basis for comparison between the two solutions. Their specific qualifications beyond being "Investigators" are not detailed.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

The document does not describe a formal adjudication method (e.g., 2+1, 3+1) for the test set data. The study was a "double-masked" clinical study, which helps mitigate bias in assessment, but it doesn't specify a method for resolving discrepancies if they arose between investigators' observations.

5. Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study

No, a multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was not explicitly mentioned. The study focused on comparing the performance of two contact lens solutions in a clinical setting with human subjects, rather than comparing human readers' diagnostic performance with and without AI assistance. Therefore, an effect size of human readers improving with AI vs. without AI assistance is not applicable to this document.

6. Standalone (Algorithm Only Without Human-in-the-Loop Performance) Study

No, a standalone (algorithm only) performance study was not done. The device is a contact lens solution, not an AI algorithm. The studies performed were a combination of preclinical (in-vitro and in-vivo lab tests) and clinical trials involving human subjects using the solution.

7. Type of Ground Truth Used

For the preclinical studies, the ground truth was established through:

  • Laboratory test results: Measuring physical, chemical, and microbiological properties.
  • Toxicology studies: In-vitro and in-vivo tests in laboratory animals to assess toxicity.

For the clinical study, the ground truth was established through:

  • Clinical findings: Observations made by "Investigators" (eye care practitioners) regarding various parameters like visual acuity, lens replacement, lens deposits, and subject health. Subject discontinuations and lens wearing times were also monitored. This can be considered expert clinical assessment/observation.

8. Sample Size for the Training Set

The concept of a "training set" is not applicable here as this is not an AI/machine learning device. The preclinical tests and the clinical study are designed to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the contact lens solution.

9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established

As noted in point 8, there is no "training set" in the context of an AI algorithm. The methods for establishing the "ground truth" for the overall device evaluation (preclinical and clinical) are described in point 7.

Description of Safety and Substantial Equivalence 6.

A series of preclinical and clinical testing was performed to demonstrate the safety and effectiveness of BAUSCH & LOMB Sensitive Eyes Multi-Purpose Solution. A summary of these results from the preclinical and clinical studies is presented below.

Preclinical Testing

A series of in-vitro and in-vivo preclinical chemical, toxicological and microbiological studies were performed to assess the safety and effectiveness of the product in conformance to the FDA documents entitled Premarket Notification (510(k)) Guidance Document for Contact Lens Care Products, April 1, 1995 (DRAFT) and May 1, 1997.

The results of these studies indicate that the physical, chemical and microbiological properties of the BAUSCH & LOMB Sensitive Eyes Multi-Purpose Solution are equivalent to BAUSCH & LOMB ReNu Multi-Purpose Solution.

The solution is not toxic and extracts of lenses treated with the solution are not toxic when tested in laboratory animals.

Clinical Testing

A three (3) month randomized, parallel, double-masked, controlled clinical study was designed in accordance with the Premarket Notification (510(k)) Guidance for Contact Lens Care Products of April 1, 1995. The Test Solution was BAUSCH & LOMB Sensitive Eyes Multi-Purpose Solution; the Control Solution was the predicate device, BAUSCH & LOMB ReNu Multi-Purpose Solution. The daily regimen for both solutions consisted of the standard daily rub, rinse and a four (4) hour disinfection procedures. A weekly enzymatic cleaning with ReNu 1-Step Enzymatic Cleaner Tablets occurred.

A total of 154 subjects were enrolled; of these, 102 were enrolled in the Test group and 52 in the Control group. There were 98 completed subjects in the Test group and 51 completed subjects in the Control group. There were seven (7) Investigators.

{2}------------------------------------------------

Analysis of all data from this study showed no clinically significant differences between the Test and Control Groups for clinical findings, visual acuity, lens replacement, lens deposits, discontinued subjects and lens wearing times for the Test and Control groups.

This study has demonstrated the equivalence between BAUSCH & LOMB Sensitive Eyes Multi-Purpose Solution and BAUSCH & LOMB ReNu Multi-Purpose Solution for the care of soft (hydrophilic) contact lenses.

Substantial Equivalence

BAUSCH & LOMB Sensitive Eyes Multi-Purpose Solution is substantially equivalent to BAUSCH & LOMB ReNu Multi-Purpose Solution in that both solutions are formulated similarly with the same indications, usage and clinical experience. They differ in the preservative used in the formulation of the final product; all other aspects of manufacturing are the same. Any differences between the two products, i.e., BAUSCH & LOMB Sensitive Eyes Multi-Purpose Solution and the predicate device do not affect the use of the product.

This product will be sold in plastic bottles as a sterile solution; each bottle will be marked STERILE and will be identified with a Lot Number and Expiration Date.
