The summary describes a standard contact lens with UV blocking properties and various corrective options (single vision, toric, multifocal). There is no mention of any computational or analytical capabilities that would suggest the use of AI or ML. The performance study is a clinical comparison to a predicate device, not an evaluation of an AI/ML algorithm.
No
The device is indicated for the "correction of refractive ametropia (myopia and hyperopia)" and "optical correction of refractive ametropia (myopia and hyperopia) and/or presbyopia," which describes a corrective function, not a therapeutic one. While it helps protect against UV transmission, its primary purpose is vision correction, not treatment of a disease or condition.
No
This device is a contact lens used for the optical correction of refractive ametropia (myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism, presbyopia). It is a therapeutic device, not a diagnostic one.
No
The device description clearly describes a physical contact lens made of a specific material with defined dimensions and physical/optical properties. It is a tangible hardware device.
Based on the provided text, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue) taken from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
- Device Function: The Sauflon Clariti contact lens is a medical device intended to correct refractive errors (myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism, presbyopia) by being placed directly on the eye. It also provides UV protection.
- Lack of Specimen Analysis: The device does not analyze any biological specimens from the patient. Its function is purely optical correction and physical protection.
The text clearly describes the device as a contact lens for vision correction and UV protection, which falls under the category of ophthalmic devices, not in vitro diagnostics.

Summary of Performance Studies
Physicochemical Studies: The physical, optical and chemical properties of the lenses as assessed by various test methods show substantial equivalence with the predicate devices. Studies were also conducted to verify that leachable substances were either low or below measurable levels.
Toxicology Studies: SAUFLON CLARITI (somofilcon A) Soft (hydrophilic) Contact Lenses were assessed using ISO 10993 standards for cytotoxicity, maximization sensitisation, ocular irritation and systemic toxicity. All results passed with no evidence of adverse effects caused by the lens.
Human Clinical Studies: A clinical study was conducted to evaluate the safety and efficacy of SAUFLON CLARITI (somofilcon A) Soft (hydrophilic) Contact Lens with UV Blocker by comparison with Air Optix Aqua hydrophilic contact lenses (Ciba Vision Inc.). Subjects used OptiFree Replenish solution (Alcon Laboratories Inc.) for daily lens maintenance, care and storage. The results of this study showed the safety, acceptability and substantial equivalence of the Sauflon CLARITI (somofilcon A) Soft (hydrophilic) Contact Lens with UV Blocker to the predicate device for its intended use.
