The provided text describes contact lenses and their intended use, with no mention of AI, ML, or related technologies.
No
The device is indicated for correction of visual acuity; it does not treat or cure a disease or condition, which is the definition of a therapeutic device.
No
The device, a soft contact lens, is indicated for the correction of visual acuity; it does not diagnose a condition.
No
The device description clearly identifies the device as "soft contact lenses," which are physical medical devices, not software.
No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health. They are used outside the body (in vitro) to diagnose, monitor, or screen for diseases or conditions.
- This Device's Function: The Alden Classic and HP contact lenses are medical devices that are placed on the eye (in vivo) to correct vision. They do not perform any tests on bodily samples.
The provided information clearly describes contact lenses for vision correction, which falls under the category of ophthalmic devices, not in vitro diagnostics.

Dear Mr. Creighton:
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.
