AI/ML Overview

Acceptance Criteria and Study for United Contact Lens Products

The provided document describes a 510(k) premarket notification for three soft contact lens products: 55 SV, 55 Multifocal, and 55 Toric (ocufilcon C) Soft (Hydrophilic) Contact Lenses for Daily Wear.

The acceptance criteria for these devices were established by demonstrating substantial equivalence to predicate devices. This means that the new devices have comparable physicochemical properties and do not raise new questions of safety and effectiveness compared to existing, legally marketed devices.

The study proving the device meets acceptance criteria involved pre-clinical tests and physicochemical testing.

Here's a breakdown of the requested information:


1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

Acceptance Criteria: Substantial equivalence to predicate devices (55 F, Toric 55, and Multifocal (ocufilcon C) Soft (hydrophilic) Contact Lenses for Daily Wear) in terms of safety, effectiveness, and physicochemical properties. This is implicitly demonstrated by comparing key material and performance parameters.

Sterility & Physical StabilitySterile and stable for shelf life (implied by predicate history)Remaining sterile and physically stable for shelf life (demonstrated)

Note: The "Acceptance Criteria" for individual parameters are interpreted as matching or being acceptably close to the predicate device's performance, as the overarching goal is substantial equivalence.


2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance

The document does not explicitly state the numerical sample size for "test sets" in the context of clinical trials with human subjects. Instead, it refers to pre-clinical tests (Systemic Injection, Primary Ocular Irritation, Cytotoxicity, and residue evaluation) and physicochemical testing. These tests are typically conducted on a representative sample of manufactured lenses and materials, not a "test set" from a typical clinical study.

  • Sample Size: Not explicitly stated for each test (e.g., number of lenses, number of animals for in vivo tests). However, the "resulsts showed no evidence of unsafe amounts of residue" suggests a sufficient sample was tested to draw conclusions.
  • Data Provenance: The tests described (Systemic Injection, Primary Ocular Irritation, Cytotoxicity Tests, residue evaluation, physicochemical testing, shelf life testing) are laboratory-based and pre-clinical. There is no mention of human clinical data or retrospective/prospective studies on human subjects in this 510(k) summary for establishing substantial equivalence. The data would have been generated internally by United Contact Lens Inc. or a contracted lab.

3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications of Those Experts

This information is not applicable in the context of this 510(k) submission. The "ground truth" for showing substantial equivalence relies on objective laboratory measurements and established regulatory standards for material safety and performance, rather than expert consensus on a clinical test set. The submission focuses on comparing the new device's technical specifications and safety profile to those of a predicate device.


4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

This information is not applicable. No adjudication method (like 2+1 or 3+1 often used for image-based ground truth establishment) is mentioned or relevant to the types of pre-clinical and physicochemical tests described.


5. If a Multi Reader Multi Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study was Done, If so, what was the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance

This information is not applicable. The device is a contact lens, not an AI-powered diagnostic or interpretive system. Therefore, no MRMC study or AI assistance evaluation was performed or is relevant.


6. If a Standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was Done

This information is not applicable. As stated above, the device is a contact lens, not an algorithm or AI system.


7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

The "ground truth" for demonstrating substantial equivalence for these contact lenses was based on:

  • Objective physicochemical measurements: Comparative data for water content, visible light transmittance, Dk, refractive index, and power ranges against the predicate device.
  • Established safety standards: Results from Systemic Injection, Primary Ocular Irritation, and Cytotoxicity Tests indicating non-toxicity and non-irritation, which align with accepted biological safety assessments for medical devices.
  • Residue analysis: Demonstrating that extracted lenses have no unsafe amounts of residue.
  • Shelf life testing: Confirming sterility and physical stability over time.

These measurements and tests serve as the objective evidence (ground truth) against which the new devices' performance was compared to the legally marketed predicate devices.


8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

This information is not applicable. There is no "training set" in the context of developing this medical device. The process involves design, manufacturing, and testing to meet specifications and demonstrate equivalence, not machine learning model training.


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

This information is not applicable as there was no training set.

When prescribed for a Frequent Replacement Program, the lenses may be disinfected using chemical or hydrogen peroxide disinfecting systems.

Description of Safety and Substantial Equivalence:

A series of pre-clinical tests were performed to demonstrate the safety and effectiveness of the 55 SV, the 55 Multifocal, and the 55 Toric (ocufilcon C) Soft (Hydrophilic) Contact Lenses for Daily Wear, and to establish substantial equivalence to the predicate devices.

Results of Systemic Injection, Primary Ocular Irritation and Cytotoxicity Tests show the lenses to be non-toxic and non-irritating. The 55 SV lenses were extracted and evaluated for presence of residue. Results showed no evidence of unsafe amounts of residue in the extracts. Physicochemical testing of the 55 lenses demonstrated equivalency to the predicate devices.

Conclusion:

Information submitted in the 510(k) establishes that the 55 SV, the 55 Multifocal and the 55 Toric Contact Lenses (ocufilcon C) have comparable physicochemical properties to the predicate devices and do not raise questions of safety and effectiveness. Shelf life testing has shown the lenses remain sterile and that the physical lens properties are stable. Therefore, the devices are substantially equivalent to the predicate devices.
