More Information

Not Found

No
The document describes a contact lens cleaning solution and does not mention any AI or ML components.

No.
The device is a multipurpose solution for cleaning and disinfecting contact lenses, not for treating a disease or condition.

No
Explanation: The device is a multi-purpose solution for cleaning and disinfecting contact lenses. It is not used to diagnose any medical condition.

No

The device description clearly states it is a sterile, isotonic solution containing various chemical components, indicating it is a physical product (a liquid solution) and not software.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for the care and maintenance of contact lenses (cleaning, rinsing, disinfection, storage). This is a direct interaction with a medical device (contact lens) and not a test performed in vitro (outside the body) on biological specimens to diagnose a condition.
  • Device Description: The description details the chemical composition of a solution used for contact lens care. It doesn't describe a test kit, reagent, or instrument used for analyzing biological samples.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The document does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
    • Analyzing biological specimens (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
    • Providing diagnostic information about a patient's health status
    • Using reagents or assays to detect specific substances or markers

The device is clearly a solution for the care of contact lenses, which falls under the category of medical devices, but not specifically In Vitro Diagnostics.

Dear Dr. Ligia Delacruz:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate 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) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). 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 (PMA), 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 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies.
