More Information

No
The document describes a chemical solution for contact lens care and does not mention any computational or algorithmic components.

No.
The device is a solution for cleaning, disinfecting, and storing contact lenses, not for treating or curing a medical condition.

No
The document describes a contact lens solution for cleaning, rinsing, disinfecting, and storing lenses, and for daily protein removal. It does not mention any function for diagnosing a medical condition or disease.

No

The device description clearly states it is a sterile aqueous solution containing various chemical components, indicating it is a physical product (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 cleaning, rinsing, disinfecting, and storing contact lenses, as well as daily protein removal from contact lenses. This is a product used on a medical device (contact lenses) to maintain their function and hygiene, not a product used to diagnose a condition or analyze a biological sample from the human body.
  • Device Description: The description lists chemical components of a solution. This aligns with a cleaning and disinfecting product, not a diagnostic test.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The document does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
    • Analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
    • Detecting or measuring specific analytes (biomarkers, pathogens, etc.)
    • Providing information for diagnosis, monitoring, or prognosis of a disease or condition.

The performance studies focus on the efficacy of the solution in cleaning, disinfecting, and maintaining the properties of contact lenses, as well as clinical evaluation of comfort and preference when using the solution with contact lenses. These are all relevant to a contact lens care product, not an IVD.

Summary of Performance Studies

Cleaning Studies: Previous studies have demonstrated the cleaning capacity of AQuify Multipurpose Solution with soft contact lenses. The study previously submitted and reviewed under K021635 demonstrated that AQuify MPS is substantially equivalent in terms of daily protein removal.
Dehydration Effect: Using a dynamic vapor sorption system, lenses treated with AQuify Multipurpose Solution showed an effect on the steady state water content at a relative humidity of 50%. AQuify MPS was statistically better than control lens multipurpose solution tested at increasing the steady-state water content within a lens group. All groups of lenses indicate that AQuify had a higher water content after 60 minutes at a relative humidity of 50%. This demonstrates that AQuify increased the water holding capabilities of the hydrogel lenses tested.
Microbiology: A series studies were also completed to demonstrate the microbiological efficacy of AQuify Multipurpose Solution. These studies were submitted and reviewed under K021635. These studies demonstrate that AQuify Multipurpose Solution meets the stand-alone criteria of the disinfection efficacy test of the FDA May 1, 1997 Guidance for Industry; Premarket Notification 510(k) Guidance Document for Contact Lens Care Products. The product also meets the USP Modified criteria for Preservative Effective Testing and USP Sterility Test requirements.
Toxicology: A series toxicology studies were completed, submitted and reviewed under K021635.
Clinical Evaluation: The trial was a three-month prospective, randomized, single masked trial consisting of baseline, two-week, one-month and final three-month visits. Subjects compared the Aquify Multipurpose Solution and ReNu Multipurpose Solution on a contra-lateral basis. Study participants were all randomized for which eye used the test and which eye used the control product. The primary objective of this clinical trial was to evaluate safety, efficacy, and preference between AQUIFY Multipurpose Solution and ReNu Multipurpose Solution. Both solutions used a pre-rinse and a minimum 4 hour to overnight soak.
Symptoms: There were no significant differences in the AQUIFY Multipurpose Solution and control solution with regards to symptoms.
Efficacy at Two Weeks: Statistically significant differences in favor of AQuify MPS were found for overall comfort and particularly overall dryness and overall lens awareness 1-10 scores and for lens awareness preference at the two-week visit. There were also strong trends that were almost statistically significant for overall comfort and lens awareness in favor of AQuify MPS.
Efficacy at One Month: Statistically significant differences in favor of AQuify MPS were found for overall comfort and dryness 1-10 scores and for overall comfort, dryness, and lens awareness preferences.
Efficacy at 3 Months: Statistically significant differences in favor of AQuify MPS were found for insertion and overall comfort 1-10 scores and for insertion comfort, overall comfort, dryness, and lens awareness preferences.
Efficacy Conclusions: Overall comfort 1-10 scores and preferences were consistently statistically significantly better with AQuify MPS over ReNu Multiplus throughout the trial. AQuify MPS was also statistically significantly preferred for less dryness throughout the trial having higher mean 1-10 scores for all subjective categories for all visits over ReNu Multiplus. AQuify MPS was increasingly preferred as the trial progressed to almost a 4:1 ratio (42% versus 11%) by the final visit with over 50% of the subjects expressing a preference.
Dark Field Image Analysis: With reqards to dark field image analysis, there were no statistically significant differences in the investigator appraisal of lens deposits, front surface wetting and objective dark-field image analysis of lenses worn for 90 days. Both the test and control product provided clinically acceptable lens cleanliness when used according to their directions for use as measured by dark filed image analysis of the returned lenses.
