2. Sample Size and Data Provenance

  • Test Set Sample Size: 37 subjects.
  • Data Provenance: The 510(k) summary does not explicitly state the country of origin. It is a clinical trial, implying prospective data collection.

3. Number of Experts and Qualifications for Ground Truth (Test Set)

  • Number of Experts: Not explicitly stated, but the study involved "Three (3) investigators." These investigators would have been responsible for clinical assessments (e.g., slit lamp findings, visual acuity measurements), and thus contributed to establishing the "ground truth" through their clinical observations and measurements.
  • Qualifications of Experts: Not explicitly stated, but for a contact lens clinical trial, these investigators would typically be ophthalmologists, optometrists, or other eye care professionals experienced in contact lens fitting and evaluation, often with significant clinical experience.

4. Adjudication Method (Test Set)

  • The 510(k) summary does not describe any formal adjudication method (e.g., 2+1, 3+1). The findings are reported as collected by the investigators.

5. Multi Reader Multi Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study

  • No, an MRMC comparative effectiveness study was not done. The clinical study compared the ONSI™-56 device to "historical controls wearing wilofocon A," rather than a concurrent study with human readers comparing AI-assisted vs. non-AI-assisted performance. This is a direct device performance study.
  • Effect Size: Not applicable, as no MRMC study was conducted.

6. Standalone (Algorithm Only) Performance

  • No, a standalone (algorithm only) performance study was not done. This device is a physical contact lens, not a software algorithm. Therefore, "algorithm only" performance is not applicable. The study evaluated the lens's performance in human subjects.

7. Type of Ground Truth Used

  • The ground truth for the clinical study was established through expert clinical assessment and objective measurements by the investigators. This included:
    • Slit lamp findings (presence/absence and severity of conditions like edema, neovascularization, staining, hyperemia, palpebral abnormalities).
    • Visual acuity measurements.
    • Patient-reported symptoms, problems, and complaints.
    • Wear time.
    • Lens replacements.

8. Sample Size for the Training Set

  • Not applicable. This study is for a physical medical device (contact lens) and not an AI/ML algorithm. Therefore, there is no "training set" in the context of machine learning.

9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established

  • Not applicable. As there is no training set for an AI/ML algorithm, this question is not relevant to this device submission.

II. Toxicology

The toxicological testing is summarized below. The lens material was shown to be non-toxic in all tests.

A. Agar Overlay Cytotoxicity:

The ONSI™-56 (onsifocon A) Rigid Gas Permeable Contact Lens material was tested in a direct contact cytotoxicity assay. The lenses were noncytotoxic.

B. Systemic toxicity:

Saline and cottonseed oil extracts of the ONSI™-56 (onsifocon A) Rigid Gas Permeable Contact Lens material were evaluated for systemic toxicity by intraperitoneal (ip) or intravenous (iv) injection in healthy mice, 50ml/kg body weight. The animals were observed over a 72 hour period, and showed no difference from control animals. The lenses passed the test requirements, that there be no difference between the response of test and control animals.

C. Acute Ocular irritation:

Saline and cottonseed oil extracts of the ONSI™-56 (onsifocon A) Rigid Gas Permeable Contact Lens material were evaluated for ocular irritation by instillation into the inferior ocular cul-de-sac of rabbits. The eyes were examined over a 72 hour period and showed no irritation.

III. Microbiology

The material has a water content less than 1%, and is therefore exempt from the microbiological requirements for hydrophobic contact lenses. Bioburden testing will be performed periodically on finished product.

IV. Clinical Studies

A clinical trial of 3 months usage of the ONSI™-56 (onsifocon A) Rigid Gas Permeable Spherical Contact Lenses by 37 subjects, wearing lenses on a daily wear schedule, showed that the product is substantially equivalent to other lenses available on the market. Comparison was made to historical controls wearing wilofocon A. The clinical summary follows.

The study was conducted over 3 months of wear, subjects being seen initially, and after 1, 2 weeks and 1, 2 and 3 months.

{4}------------------------------------------------

ONSI™-56 (onsifocon A) Rigid Gas Permeable Contact Lenses, FOI

Three (3) investigators enrolled a total of 37 test subjects. The age range of the test population was from 15 to 58, with 27 (73%) females and 10 (27%) males. Of the 37 subjects, 36 (97%) completed 3 months of wear, and 1 (3%) discontinued.

FINDINGS a. SAFETY:

(1) Adverse Reactions

The FDA regulations for medical devices (21 CFR 812.3) define an unanticipated adverse device effect as:

"any serious adverse effect on health or safety or any life-threatening problem or death caused by, or associated with, a device, if that effect, problem or death was not previously identified in nature, severity or degree of incidence in the investigational plan or application (including a supplementary plan or application), or any other unanticipated serious problem associated with a device that related to the rights, safety or welfare of the subject"

There were no adverse events during this study.

(2) Slit Lamp Findings:

A positive slit lamp finding is a routinely occurring complication that can be expected with or without the presence of contact lenses. The degree of severity may range from very slight, representing no medical concern, to serious, requiring medical treatment.

The following table shows the incidence of slit lamp findings at the initial and final visits.

(4) Discontinuations:

Throughout the study, 1 subject (3%) was discontinued.

b. EFFICACY:

(1) Visual Acuity:

All eyes had a final visual acuity within 1 line of the initial best corrected acuity.

(2) Wear Time:

Wear time remained essentially unchanged over the three months of the study, indicating continuing comfort and cleanliness with the investigational lenses.

(3) Lens Replacements:

A total of 10 lenses were replaced during the study, 6 for visual acuity, 5 of the 6 within the first month. These results indicate that the lenses are effective in the correction of myopia.

Gender Comparisons:

The overall population was 73% female, 27% male. No further gender analysis was warranted.

OVERALL CONCLUSION OF THE CLINICAL STUDY:

The data of the clinical trial demonstrate the safety and efficacy of the ONSI™-56 (onsifocon A) Rigid Gas Permeable Spherical Contact Lenses.
