The device description and performance studies focus on the physical properties and clinical performance of a contact lens, with no mention of AI or ML technology.
No
Explanation: The device is indicated for the correction of refractive ametropia (myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism) and presbyopia, which are vision correction functions, not therapeutic.
No
This device, a contact lens, is indicated for correction of refractive ametropia and presbyopia. It is a therapeutic device designed to improve vision, not to diagnose a medical condition.
No
The device is a physical contact lens made of a polymer material, not software.
Based on the provided text, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
- Device Function: The BAUSCH & LOMB® SofLens™ MultiFocal contact lens is a medical device intended for correcting vision by being placed directly on the eye. It does not analyze any biological specimens.
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly states it's for "correction of refractive ametropia... and presbyopia". This is a therapeutic/corrective function, not a diagnostic one based on in vitro analysis.
- Device Description: The description focuses on the physical properties and materials of the contact lens itself.
- Performance Studies: The clinical study evaluates the safety and efficacy of the lens in terms of visual acuity and eye health when worn, not its ability to diagnose a condition based on a sample.
Therefore, this device falls under the category of a medical device for vision correction, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use
BAUSCH & LOMB® SofLens™ MulfiFocal (polymacon) Visibility Tinted Contact Lens is indicated for daily wear for the correction of refractive ametropia (myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism) and presbyopia in aphakic and/or not-aphakic persons with non-diseased eyes, exhibiting astigmatism of 2.00 diopters or less, that does not interfere with visual acuity. The lens provides a power range of +20.00 to -20.00 diopters with add power ranging from +1.00D to +5.00D.
Replacement schedules may vary from patient to patient, and should be decided by eye care practitioners in consultation with their patients. The lens is to be cleaned, rinsed and disinfected each time it is removed from the patient's eye and discarded after the recommended wearing period prescribed by the eye care practitioner. The lens may be disinfected using a chemical disinfection system.

Description of the test set, sample size, data source, and annotation protocol
A one month, randomized clinical study was completed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the Bausch & Lomb Castmold Bifocal Contact Lens (Test) compared to the Johnson & Johnson Acuvue® Bifocal Contact Lens (Control) when worn on a daily wear basis.
At the Initial Dispensing Visit, eligible patients were dispensed a Bausch & Lomb Castmold Bifocal (Test) Contact Lens or Johnson & Johnson Acuvue® Bifocal (Control) Contact Lens according to randomization tables supplied to the Investigators. The identity of the study sponsor was not revealed to the patient. A total of 170 eyes (85 patients) were entered into the study by 6 Investigators. Of the 170 eyes (85 patients) enrolled, 166 eyes (83 patients) completed the study.
Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
Non-Clinical Laboratory Testing:
A series of in vitro and in vivo preclinical toxicology and biocompatibility testing was performed to assess the safety and effectiveness of the contact lens device. Testing was performed in accordance with FDA guideline titled Premarket Notification (510(k)) Guidance Document for Daily Wear Contact Lenses, May 1994. All non-clinical laboratory studies were conducted in compliance with the GLP requlation. The non-clinical laboratory testing can be found in N16-895. Supplement 74, approved August 13, 1991.
Stability testing has demonstrated a three year expiration date for the sterile lenses.
Clinical Testing:
Study Type: One month, randomized clinical study
Sample Size: 170 eyes (85 patients) enrolled, 166 eyes (83 patients) completed.
Key Results:
- Safety: No statistical differences between the study lenses with respect to the frequency of occurrence of total grade 2 or greater positive slit lamp findings.
- Efficacy: No statistical difference in the proportion of lens visual acuities worse than 20/40 between the Test and Control lenses.
The Sponsor concludes, based on the data presented, that the protocol-specified endpoints were achieved, and that the Bausch & Lomb Castmold Bifocal Contact Lens is equivalent in safety and efficacy to the Johnson & Johnson Acuvue Bifocal Contact Lens, when worn on a daily wear basis. The Castmold Bifocal Contact Lens is a safe and effective means of daily wear vision correction.
