Intended Use
The Aquaflex 2 Contact Lens is indicated for daily wear for the correction of refractive ametropia (myopia and hyperopia) and astigmatism up to 1.50 diopters or less in aphakic and/or not-aphakic persons with non-diseased eyes. The lens may be disinfected using either a heat or chemical disinfection system.
Device Description
The Aquaflex 2 (tefilcon) Soft (hydrophilic) Contact Lens is available as a spherical lens. The lens material, tefilcon, is a hydrophilic polymer of 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate crosslinked with ethylene glycol dimethacrylate. The Aquaflex 2 Contact Lens is a hemispherical shell.
More Information

No
The 510(k) summary describes a standard contact lens with no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or any related performance metrics or training/test data.

No

The device is a contact lens intended for correcting refractive errors (myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism) rather than treating a disease or condition for therapeutic purposes.

No
The device is a contact lens intended for correcting refractive errors (myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism) in the eyes, not for diagnosing medical conditions.

No

The device description clearly states it is a contact lens, which is a physical medical device, not software.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body (like blood, urine, or tissue) to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
  • Device Description and Intended Use: The description clearly states that the Aquaflex 2 Contact Lens is a device worn on the eye for the correction of refractive errors. It does not involve testing samples from the body.

The information provided describes a medical device used for vision correction, not a diagnostic test.

(a)
Identification. A soft (hydrophilic) contact lens is a device intended to be worn directly against the cornea and adjacent limbal and scleral areas of the eye to correct vision conditions or act as a therapeutic bandage. The device is made of various polymer materials the main polymer molecules of which absorb or attract a certain volume (percentage) of water.(b)

Equivalent device

The Aquaflex 2 (tefilcon) Soft (hydrophilic) Contact Lens for Daily Wear is substantially equivalent to the predicate device identified below in terms of intended use and design.

Predicate device: BayVue (polymacon) Soft (hydrophilic) Contact Lens

Device description

The Aquaflex 2 (tefilcon) Soft (hydrophilic) Contact Lens is available as a spherical lens. The lens material, tefilcon, is a hydrophilic polymer of 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate crosslinked with ethylene glycol dimethacrylate.

The Aquaflex 2 Contact Lens is a hemispherical shell of the following dimensions:

refractive index (wet)1.43
light transmittance98%
water content37.5%
oxygen permeability8.9 x 10-11 (cm/sec)(ml O2/ml x mm Hg), measured at 21°C (Fatt Method)

Intended use

The Aquaflex 2 Contact Lens is indicated for daily wear for the correction of refractive ametropia (myopia and hyperopia) and astigmatism up to 1.50 diopters or less in aphakic and/or not-aphakic persons with non-diseased eyes. The lens may be disinfected using either a heat or chemical disinfection system.

Substantial equivalence

The new device will be manufactured according to specified process controls and a quality management system currently in place. The device will undergo manufacturing, packaging and sterilization procedures similar to devices currently manufactured, marketed and distributed by Unilens Corp., USA. The established safety profile (pre-clinical toxicology and manufacturing/chemistry data) of the device is equivalent to the LL-Bifocal (tefilcon) Contact Lens, 510(k) K971647. Being similar with respect to indications for use, materials, physical construction and safety and effectiveness to the predicate device, this meets the requirements per section 510(k) of the act regarding substantial equivalence and does not raise different questions of safety and effectiveness than the predicate device identified above.
