Intended Use

Eye-Cept® Sterile Saline Solution is indicated only for rinsing soft contact lenses after cleaning and for wetting soft contact lenses after disinfection before use.

Device Description

Eye-Cept® Sterile Saline Solution is provided in single use, carry-on size bottles that are preservative free. It rinses loose debris and cleaning solution off soft (hydrophilic) contact lenses. It is only for use to rinse and wet soft contact lenses (a) after cleaning before disinfection and (b) after disinfection before using. It is not a disinfectant nor should it be used as eye drops. It is a clear solution and should not be used, if cloudy or discolored. The individual 10 ml bottle should not be kept once used; it should be discarded after opening. It should not be used after its labeled expiry date.

AI/ML Overview

Here's an analysis of the provided text regarding the acceptance criteria and supporting studies for the Eye-Cept® Sterile Saline Solution.

Important Note: The provided document is a 510(k) Summary for a contact lens care product, not a medical device in the typical sense of AI/CADe systems that require clinical studies with human readers. Therefore, many of the requested elements (like sample sizes for test sets, number of experts, MRMC studies, standalone performance for AI, etc.) are not applicable to this type of submission. The "study" here refers to pre-clinical and laboratory testing to demonstrate safety and effectiveness for a chemical solution.


Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance for Eye-Cept® Sterile Saline Solution

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

The acceptance criteria for "Eye-Cept® Sterile Saline Solution" are primarily based on demonstrating substantial equivalence to predicate devices and conformance to specified physicochemical properties and safety/effectiveness standards outlined in FDA guidance documents for contact lens care products.

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

  • Sample Size: The document does not specify exact sample sizes for the in vitro cytotoxicity, acute ocular irritation, or antibacterial effectiveness tests. For these types of tests, sample sizes are typically determined by established laboratory protocols and standards for chemical testing, rather than patient-based test sets used for AI/CADe.
  • Data Provenance: The studies were conducted by Optics Laboratory, Inc. to support their 510(k) submission. The data is internal to the manufacturer, as is standard for pre-market submissions of this nature. The country of origin for the data is implicitly the USA, where the sponsor is located and where the FDA operates. The studies are described as having been completed "to demonstrate the substantial equivalence," implying they were specifically conducted for this submission (prospective in that sense, but not a prospective clinical trial).

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

  • This question is not applicable to this type of device. "Ground truth" in the context of diagnostic devices typically refers to expert consensus, pathology, or clinical outcomes for patient data. For a sterile saline solution, the "ground truth" is established by laboratory measurements (e.g., pH meters, osmometers, cytotoxicity assays) and standardized animal or in vitro tests for irritation and antimicrobial properties. These are measured by laboratory technicians and scientists following established protocols, rather than medical experts forming a consensus.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

  • This question is not applicable. Adjudication methods like "2+1" or "3+1" are used in clinical studies where multiple human readers interpret medical images or perform clinical assessments, and disagreement needs to be resolved. For laboratory-based chemical and safety testing, the results are typically quantitative measurements or qualitative observations directly interpreted by trained laboratory personnel.

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

  • This question is not applicable. An MRMC study is relevant for AI/CADe diagnostic devices that assist human readers in interpreting medical data. The Eye-Cept® Sterile Saline Solution is a chemical solution, not an AI-powered diagnostic tool.

6. If a Standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) Was Done

  • This question is not applicable. This device is a chemical solution, not an algorithm.

7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

  • The "ground truth" for this device's performance is established through:
    • Physicochemical Measurements: Direct measurements of properties like pH (7.2-7.8) and tonicity (290-320 mOsm/kg).
    • In vitro Laboratory Assays: Tests for cytotoxicity (evaluating non-toxicity of the solution and container).
    • Animal Testing: Acute ocular irritation studies (demonstrating no irritation).
    • Microbiological Testing: Antibacterial effectiveness (to ensure it does not promote microbial growth, though it is not a disinfectant).
    • Substantial Equivalence: Demonstrating that its characteristics and performance are comparable to legally marketed predicate devices.

8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

  • This question is not applicable. The concept of a "training set" and "test set" applies to machine learning algorithms. For a chemical solution, there is no "training set" in this context. The manufacturing process is developed and validated, but this is distinct from training a machine learning model.

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

  • This question is not applicable for the same reasons above.

H. Substantial Equivalence:

A series of studies were completed to demonstrate the substantial equivalence of Eye-Cept Sterile Saline Solution to the predicate devices. All testing was conducted in accordance with and in conformance to applicable device regulations and guidance. Results of all testing demonstrate the solution is non-toxic, is comparable to other currently marketed soft contact lens solutions, and is substantially equivalent to legally marketed predicates. These studies followed the "Testing Matrix for Saline Solutions" of the "Guidance for Industry - Premarket Notification (510k) Guidance Document for Contact Lens Care Products, issued May 1, 1997" and included:

  • l . in vitro cytotoxicity of both the saline solution and the polyethylene container
    1. acute ocular irritation
    1. antibacterial effectiveness

Utilizing FDA's Guidance for Industry and FDA Staff "Format for Traditional and Abbreviated 510(k)s" a direct comparison of key characteristics demonstrates that the proposed saline solution is substantially equivalent to the predicate device in terms of intended use, technological characteristics, and performance

characteristics. The proposed Optics Laboratory Eye-Cept® Sterile Saline Solution is as safe, as effective, and performs as well as the predicate devices.
