No

The device description clearly outlines physical components including a holder, bottle, cap, base, and a battery-operated tumbler device with an electrical motor. This indicates it is a hardware device, not software-only.

Based on the provided information, the AUTOLENS® Automatic Contact Lens Cleaning Accessory is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) device.

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for cleaning and disinfecting contact lenses, which are medical devices themselves, but the cleaning accessory is not used to diagnose a condition or test a sample from the human body.
  • Device Description: The device is a mechanical system for holding and agitating contact lenses in a cleaning solution. It does not involve any in vitro testing or analysis of biological samples.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention any components or functions typically associated with IVD devices, such as reagents, assays, or analysis of biological fluids or tissues.
  • Performance Studies: The performance studies focus on the physical properties of the cleaning process (pH, temperature, compatibility with solutions) rather than diagnostic accuracy or performance metrics related to analyzing biological samples.

Therefore, the AUTOLENS® Automatic Contact Lens Cleaning Accessory is a medical device, but it falls under a different classification than an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

A bench testing protocol was employed to test the AUTOLENS® device with the appropriately recommended Multi-Purpose contact lens solution for a measure of solution pH and temperature gain in order to ascertain solution stability over the 4 hour recommended soak-time for cleaning. The protocol called for measuring three (3) test devices with solution immersed in the lens holder bottle. In all cases, the final pH of the test solution in the chamber was the same as the pH at the start of the procedure concluding that no change of solution was witnessed during the operation of the device under the directions of use.

A measure of the temperature at the start and completion of the procedure was made to determine whether any heat transfer occurred to raise the temperature beyond that which would be safe for stability of the supporting cleaning and disinfection solution. The results indicate that the temperature rise was minimal.

Additional compatibility testing for recommended wetting drops and the AUTOLENS® Brand MULTI-PURPOSE Solution was conducted. The results indicate that the solutions were deemed compatible and without precipitate formation.
