AI/ML Overview

The "BIOFINITY (comfilcon A) Soft Contact Lens" study aimed to demonstrate substantial equivalence to predicate devices, namely CIBA Vision SEE3™ (lotrafilcon A) and CIBA Vision O2OPTIX™ (lotrafilcon B) Soft Contact Lenses. The study focused on performance and safety for daily wear. Due to the nature of the device (contact lenses), acceptance criteria and performance are primarily assessed through physical, optical, chemical, and clinical measures, rather than typical AI model metrics like sensitivity/specificity.

Here's an analysis based on the provided text, adapted to the requested format where applicable:

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

The acceptance criteria are implicitly defined by demonstrating substantial equivalence to the predicate devices across various physical, chemical, optical, and clinical parameters. The study aimed to show no significant differences in performance and safety compared to the predicate device, CIBA Vision Focus Night & Day.

Acceptance Criteria CategorySpecific Criteria (Implicitly based on Predicate Devices and "no significant difference")Reported Device Performance (BIOFINITY)
Visual Acuity PerformanceNo significant difference compared to predicate device (CIBA Vision Focus Night & Day).Showed no significant difference compared to predicate device.
Clinical Adverse EventsNo significant difference in patient complaints or slit lamp observations compared to predicate device. No serious or significant adverse events attributable to the device.Showed no significant difference of clinical adverse events compared to predicate device. No serious or significant adverse events attributable to the device.
BiocompatibilityPass ISO 10993 standards for cytotoxicity, maximization sensitization, ocular irritation, and systemic toxicity.All results passed with no evidence of adverse clinical effects.
Material PropertiesSubstantially equivalent physical, optical, and chemical properties to predicate devices (SEE3™ and O2OPTIX™).Presented in a table of characteristics, indicating substantial equivalence in most properties while noting differences in others (e.g., water content, Dk, surface treatment, modulus, tensile strength, elongation to break). The submission argues these differences do not preclude substantial equivalence for the intended use given other studies.
Leachable SubstancesLow or below measurable levels.Determined to be low or below measurable levels.

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

  • Sample Size: The document does not explicitly state the specific number of participants in the human clinical studies. It mentions "a study of daily wear."
  • Data Provenance: The study was a "Human Clinical Studies" which implies prospective data collection, specifically a clinical trial. The country of origin for the data is not specified, but the manufacturer is based in the UK and Applicant in the USA.

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

This section is not directly applicable in the context of ground truth for an AI algorithm. For a contact lens clinical study:

  • Experts: The clinical study would have involved ophthalmologists or optometrists who conducted the visual acuity assessments and slit lamp observations.
  • Qualifications: While not explicitly stated, these would be medical professionals with expertise in ophthalmology and contact lens fitting/assessment.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

This term is not typically used for clinical studies of medical devices like contact lenses in the same way it would be for an AI algorithm's ground truth. Clinical studies usually involve:

  • Clinical Assessments: Visual acuity, slit lamp examinations, and patient complaints would have been recorded by the clinical investigators.
  • Data Analysis: Statistical analysis would then be performed on the collected data to compare the new device to the predicate device.
  • Expert Review: The overall results and findings would be reviewed by regulatory affairs specialists and potentially medical experts to determine safety and efficacy.

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

  • Not applicable. This study is for a physical medical device (contact lens), not an AI algorithm assisting human readers. Therefore, an MRMC comparative effectiveness study involving AI assistance was not performed.

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

  • Not applicable. This study concerns a physical medical device, not an AI algorithm.

7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

For this type of device, what constitutes "ground truth" revolves around established clinical endpoints and validated measurement techniques:

  • Clinical Outcomes:
    • Visual acuity: Measured objectively using standard eye charts.
    • Ocular health: Assessed via slit lamp examination by clinicians for signs of adverse events (e.g., corneal edema, infiltrates, hyperemia).
    • Patient symptoms/complaints: Reported directly by study participants.
  • Biocompatibility Standards: Compliance with ISO 10993 standards (cytotoxicity, sensitization, irritation, systemic toxicity) serves as a "ground truth" for material safety.
  • Physicochemical Measurements: Laboratory measurements of material properties (e.g., Dk, water content, modulus, refractive index) compared against established ranges or predicate devices.

8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

  • Not applicable. This study did not involve an AI algorithm with a distinct training set. The "training" for a physical device involves material formulation, manufacturing process development, and quality control, not data-driven machine learning.

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

  • Not applicable. As there is no AI training set, this question is not relevant. The "ground truth" for the development of the contact lens itself would stem from extensive research and development in polymer science, optics, and biocompatibility, guided by regulatory requirements and clinical needs for contact lens performance.
