No
The summary describes a contact lens and does not mention any software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate the use of AI/ML.

No
The device is a contact lens used to correct refractive errors (myopia, hyperopia, presbyopia) and is not intended to treat or cure a disease or medical condition, which is a characteristic of a therapeutic device.

No
Explanation: The device is a contact lens for vision correction, not for diagnosing diseases or conditions. Its intended use is to correct refractive ametropia and presbyopia.

No

The device description clearly identifies the device as a "Soft (hydrophilic) Multifocal Contact Lens," which is a physical medical device, not software.

No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVDs are used to examine specimens from the human body. They are used to diagnose diseases, conditions, or determine the state of health. Examples include blood tests, urine tests, and tissue biopsies.
  • This device is a contact lens. It is a medical device that is placed directly on the eye to correct vision. It does not analyze any biological specimens.

The intended use clearly describes the device as a contact lens for vision correction, which falls under the category of ophthalmic devices, not in vitro diagnostics.

§ 886.5925 Soft (hydrophilic) contact lens.

(a)
Identification. A soft (hydrophilic) contact lens is a device intended to be worn directly against the cornea and adjacent limbal and scleral areas of the eye to correct vision conditions or act as a therapeutic bandage. The device is made of various polymer materials the main polymer molecules of which absorb or attract a certain volume (percentage) of water.(b)
Classification. (1) Class II if the device is intended for daily wear only.(2) Class III if the device is intended for extended wear.
(c)
Date PMA or notice of completion of a PDP is required. As of May 28, 1976, an approval under section 515 of the act is required before a device described in paragraph (b)(2) of this section may be commercially distributed. See § 886.3.

Trade/Device Name: Eye-Q (xylofilcon A) Soft (hydrophilic) Multifocal Contact Lens for Daily Wear. Regulation Number: 21 CFR 886.5925 Regulation Name: Soft (hydrophilic) Daily Wear Contact Lens Regulatory Class: Class II Product Code: LPL Dated: October 16, 2001 Received: October 18, 2001

Dear Mr. Walls:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) notification of intent to market the device referenced above and we have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (Premarket Approval), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 895. A substantially equivalent determination assumes compliance with the Current Good Manufacturing Practice requirements, as set forth in the Quality System Regulation (QS) for Medical Devices: General regulation (21 CFR Part 820) and that, through periodic QS inspections, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will verify such assumptions. Failure to comply with the GMP regulation may result in regulatory action. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register. Please note: this response to your premarket notification submission does not affect any obligation you might have under sections 531 through 542 of the Act for devices under the Electronic Product Radiation Control provisions, or other Federal laws or regulations.

1

This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your Section 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market.

If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801 and additionally 21 CFR Part 809.10 for in vitro diagnostic devices), please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4613. Additionally, for questions on the promotion and advertising of your device, please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4639. Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21CFR Part 807.97). Other general information on your responsibilities under the Act may be obtained from the Division of Small Manufacturers, International and Consumer Assistance at its toll-free number (800) 638-2041 or (301) 443-6597 or at its Internet address http://www.fda.gov/cdrh/dsma/dsmamain.html
