AI/ML Overview

The provided document is a 510(k) summary for a contact lens, which primarily focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to predicate devices rather than proving the device meets distinct acceptance criteria through a standalone study with a defined ground truth.

Here's an analysis based on the available information:

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

The document does not explicitly state "acceptance criteria" in the format of defined numerical thresholds that the new device must meet independently. Instead, it relies on demonstrating that the physical, optical, and chemical properties of the subject device are substantially equivalent to its predicate devices. The reported device performance is presented through a comparison table outlining these properties for the subject device and the predicates.

Property	Subject Device Performance (Sauflon Clariti (somofilcon A) with UV Blocker and Handling Tint)	Predicate Device 1 (Sauflon Clariti with UV Blocker, K130342)	Predicate Device 2 (Air Optix Aqua, K033919/K073459)
Material	Somofilcon A Silicone Hydrogel	Somofilcon A Silicone Hydrogel	Lotrafilcon B Silicone Hydrogel
Indications for Use	Daily wear monthly replacement	Daily wear monthly replacement	Daily wear monthly replacement
Manufacturing Process	Cast Moulding	Cast Moulding	Cast Moulding
Water Content	56%	56%	33%
Refractive Index	1.40	1.40	1.42
Light Transmittance	≥96%	≥96%	≥96%
Dk @35°C (Edge Corrected)	60 (polarographic method)	60 (polarographic method)	110 (Coulometric method)

UV Blocker	Benzophenone	Benzophenone	None
Modulus (MPa)	0.55	0.55	0.92
Tensile Strength (MPa)	1.05	1.05	0.9
Elongation at Break %	163	163	205
Packaging Materials	Injected molded polypropylene blisters or Sabic PP PCGH19 covered by aluminium foil laminate and blister strips are packed into printed cartons	Injected molded polypropylene blisters or Sabic PP PCGH19 covered by aluminium foil laminate and blister strips are packed into printed cartons	Injected molded polypropylene blisters covered by aluminium foil laminate and blister strips are packed into printed cartons

Packaging Method	Hermetically sealed blister pack	Hermetically sealed blister pack	Hermetically sealed blister pack

Summary of Device Performance against "Acceptance Criteria" (Substantial Equivalence): The document claims "substantial equivalence" based on these comparisons. For most properties, the subject device directly matches one of the predicate devices. Where differences exist (e.g., tint, water content, Dk, UV blocker, Modulus, Tensile Strength, Elongation at Break, packaging materials, packaging solution), the differences are argued to not raise new questions of safety or effectiveness.

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

The document mentions "A clinical study was conducted to evaluate the safety and efficacy of SAUFLON CLARITI (somofilcon A) Soft (hydrophilic) with UV Blocker and handling tint by comparison with Air Optix Aqua hydrophilic contact lenses (Ciba Vision Inc.)."

Sample Size for Test Set: The specific number of subjects in this clinical study (test set) is not provided in the summary.
Data Provenance: The study involved a comparison with Air Optix Aqua lenses. The summary does not explicitly state the country of origin for the data or whether it was retrospective or prospective, but clinical trials for regulatory submissions are typically prospective.

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

This type of information is usually relevant for studies involving human interpretation (e.g., image analysis). For a contact lens clinical study evaluating safety and efficacy, the "ground truth" is generally derived from direct clinical observations (e.g., visual acuity, adverse events, fit) performed by qualified clinicians (optometrists, ophthalmologists). The document does not specify the number or qualifications of experts involved in establishing ground truth for the clinical study.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

The document does not specify an adjudication method (such as 2+1, 3+1, or none) for the clinical study. This is less common to report for contact lens clinical studies compared to, for example, studies involving subjective image interpretation where expert discrepancies need resolution.

5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study Was Done

No, an MRMC comparative effectiveness study was not conducted as described in the provided text. MRMC studies are typically used to assess the performance of diagnostic devices interpreted by multiple human readers, often with and without AI assistance, which is not applicable to a contact lens evaluation in this context. The clinical study was a direct comparison of the subject contact lens to a predicate contact lens.

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

This question is not applicable. The device is a physical contact lens, not an algorithm or AI system. The "standalone performance" of the contact lens is assessed through its physical, optical, chemical properties, and human clinical trials (with humans wearing the device, not interacting with an algorithm).

7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

For the clinical study:

Derived from: Clinical observations (e.g., visual acuity, comfort, lens fit, adverse events) as measured during the study by clinical investigators. This is a form of outcomes data and expert clinical assessment.
For the physicochemical studies: Laboratory measurements of defined properties (e.g., water content, Dk, transmittance, modulus, tensile strength).

8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

This question is not applicable. The document describes a physical medical device (contact lens), not an AI/algorithm-based device that requires a training set. The manufacturing process for contact lenses (cast moulding) does not involve a "training" phase in the context of machine learning.

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

This question is not applicable, as there is no training set for this device.
