The summary describes standard contact lenses and their material properties and clinical performance, with no mention of AI or ML.

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

No

Explanation: The device, CIBA Vision® (nelfilcon A) soft contact lenses, is indicated for the optical correction of refractive ametropia and/or presbyopia. This describes a corrective function, not a diagnostic one. It is used to correct a condition, not to identify or measure it.

No

The device description clearly details a physical contact lens made of a specific polymer material with defined physical properties and supplied in sterile packaging. There is no mention of any software component.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for the optical correction of refractive errors (myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism, presbyopia) in the eye. This is a direct interaction with the body for a therapeutic/corrective purpose, not for diagnosing a condition by examining samples outside the body.
  • Device Description: The description focuses on the physical properties and material of a contact lens, which is a medical device for vision correction.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens (blood, urine, tissue, etc.) or to provide information for the diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment of a disease or condition based on such examination.

IVD devices are used in vitro (outside the body) to analyze samples and provide diagnostic information. Contact lenses are medical devices used in vivo (in the body) for vision correction.
