Not Found

No
The device description and performance studies focus on the chemical composition and cleaning/disinfection properties of a contact lens solution, with no mention of AI or ML.

No.
The device is a multi-purpose solution for cleaning and disinfecting contact lenses, not a therapeutic device intended to treat a disease or condition.

No

The device is a multi-purpose solution for cleaning, conditioning, rinsing, disinfecting, and storing contact lenses, as clearly stated in the "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section. It does not perform any diagnostic function.

No

The device description clearly states it is a sterile, buffered, isotonic, aqueous solution containing various chemical components, indicating it is a physical product (a liquid solution) and not software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for the cleaning, conditioning, rinsing, disinfection, and storage of contact lenses. This is a direct interaction with a medical device (contact lenses) and the user, not for the examination of specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or compatibility testing.
  • Device Description: The description lists chemical components of a solution. While it has a biological effect (disinfection), it's not designed to analyze biological samples.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
    • Analyzing biological specimens (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
    • Providing diagnostic information
    • Using reagents or kits for testing
    • Measuring analytes or markers

The device is clearly a contact lens care product, which falls under a different regulatory category than IVDs. The performance studies focus on cleaning efficacy, lens compatibility, microbiology (disinfection), biocompatibility, and clinical safety and efficacy related to contact lens wear. These are all relevant to a contact lens solution, not an IVD.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

Cleaning Studies: ALCON® Multi-Purpose Solution is an isotonic aqueous solution which contains a surface active agent, TETRONIC® 1304. The cleaning efficacy of the solution has been evaluated through the determination of the Critical Micelle Concentration (CMC). The TETRONIC® 1304 concentration is well above the CMC, which ensures the effective cleaning function of the product. These findings are supported by results of clinical evaluations.

Compatibility Studies: Lens compatibility studies performed show that ALCON® Multi-Purpose Solution is compatible with silicone hydrogel lenses.

Microbiology Studies: A series of studies based on EN ISO 14729:2001 Ophthalmic optics -- Contact lens care products - Microbiological requirements and test methods for products and regimens for hygienic management of contact lenses, the ANSI Contact Lens Care Products Standard and EN ISO 14730:2000 Ophthalmic optics- Contact lens care products - Antimicrobial preservative efficacy testing and guidance on determining discard date were completed to demonstrate the microbiological efficacy of ALCON® Multi-Purpose Solution. These results indicate ALCON® Multi-Purpose Solution meets satisfactory levels of disinfection and preservative efficacy.

Biocompatibility: Based on the results of the preclinical evaluations, ALCON® Multi-Purpose Solution is safe for the consumer under the recommended use conditions, as well as under conditions of reasonably foreseeable misuse.

Clinical Studies: Two clinical studies were conducted using ALCON® Multi-Purpose Solution. The control product was Advanced Medical Optics COMPLETE® MoisturePLUS™ Multi-Purpose Solution. The safety and efficacy of the ALCON® Multi-Purpose Solution were clinically acceptable. Subjects assigned to the ALCON® Multi-Purpose Solution regimen had statistically less corneal staining compared to the control regimen with silicone hydrogel lenses.

Dear Ms. Kracke:

This letter corrects our substantially equivalent letter of December 12, 2007.

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 (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 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.
