Intended Use
The Flexlens Multifocal Soft Contact Lens (hioxifilcon A) and (hioxifilcon B) for Daily Wear is indicated for daily wear use for the correction of refractive ametropia (myopia, hyperopia and/or presbyopia) in non-aphakic persons.
Device Description
The Flexlens Multifocal Soft Contact Lens (hioxifilcon A) and (hioxifilcon B) for Daily Wear is a lathe-cut soft lens multifocal with an aspheric front surface and a spherical base curve. In the dry (unhydrated) state the lens is machined and polished. The hydrophilic nature of this material allows the lens to become soft and pliable when immersed in an aqueous solution. The progressive optics utilize the simultaneous vision concept which offers functional vision from distance to near throughout the viewing range. The pupil zone on the front surface varies with the size of the patient's pupil. The non-ionic lens material, hioxifileon A, is a copolymer of 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (2-HEMA) and 2,3-Dihydrosypropyl Methacrylate (Glycerol Methacrylate, GMA). It consists of 41% hioxifilcon A and 59% water by weight. when immersed in normal saline solution buffered with sodium bicarbonate. Flexlens Multifocal Soft Contact Lenses for Daily Wear made out of hioxifilcon A are available in clear and with a blue visibility-handling tint, phthalocyanato (2) - (copper). The non-ionic lens material, hioxifileon B, is a copolymer of 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (2-HEMA) and 2,3-Dihydrosypropyl Methacrylate (Glycerol Methacrylate, GMA). It consists of 52% hioxifilcon B and 48% water by weight when immersed in normal saline solution buffered with sodium bicarbonate. FlexIens Multifocal Soft Contact Lenses for Daily Wear made out of hioxifilcon B are available in clear and with a blue visibility-handling tint, phthalocyanato (2) - (copper).
More Information

No
The description focuses on the material composition, manufacturing process (lathe-cut), and optical design (aspheric front surface, spherical base curve, simultaneous vision concept, variable pupil zone) of the contact lens. There is no mention of any computational algorithms, data processing, or learning capabilities that would indicate the use of AI or ML.

No
The device is indicated for the correction of refractive ametropia (myopia, hyperopia, and/or presbyopia), which corrects a physical condition rather than treating a disease or injury.

No

Explanation: The device is a contact lens indicated for the correction of refractive ametropia (a condition) rather than for the diagnosis of a condition. Its purpose is to correct vision, not to identify or analyze a disease or medical condition.

No

The device description clearly describes a physical contact lens made of specific materials, not software.

No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Device Function: The Flexlens Multifocal Soft Contact Lens is a medical device that is placed directly on the eye to correct vision. It does not analyze any biological samples from the body.
  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states it's for "correction of refractive ametropia," which is a physical correction of vision, not a diagnostic test.

The provided information describes a contact lens, its materials, and its intended use for vision correction. There is no indication that it performs any diagnostic testing on biological samples.

§ 886.5925 Soft (hydrophilic) contact lens.

(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)
Classification. (1) Class II if the device is intended for daily wear only.(2) Class III if the device is intended for extended wear.
(c)
Date PMA or notice of completion of a PDP is required. As of May 28, 1976, an approval under section 515 of the act is required before a device described in paragraph (b)(2) of this section may be commercially distributed. See § 886.3.
