The BostonSight IC Corneal & Scleral Lenses for Daily Wear are indicated for the correction of refractive error in aphakic and not aphakic persons. The lenses may be prescribed in otherwise non-diseased eves that require a rigid gas permeable lens for the management of irregular corneal conditions such as keratoconus, pellucid marginal degeneration or following penetrating keratoplasty or refractive (e.g. LASIK) surgery.
Eyecare practitioners may prescribe the lenses for frequent/planned replacement wear, with cleaning, disinfection and scheduled replacement. When prescribed for frequent wear, the lens may be cleaned and disinfected using a chemical (not heat) lens care system.
The BostonSight Irregular Cornea (IC) Corneal & Scleral Lenses are lathe cut and fabricated from one of the following hydrophobic rigid gas permeable (RGP) lens materials:
- roflufocon D supplied by Contamac Ltd.
- · roflufocon E supplied by Contamac Ltd.
- · oprifocon A supplied by Bausch and Lomb, Inc.
- · hexafocon B supplied by Bausch and Lomb. Inc.
The description of the roflufocon D. roflufocon E. oprifocon A. and hexafocon B RGP materials are addressed in K033594, K022128, and K071266 respectively.
The BostonSight IC Corneal & Scleral Lenses for daily wear may be prescribed in otherwise nondiseased eyes that require a rigid gas permeable lens for the management of irregular corneal conditions such as keratoconus, pellucid marginal degeneration or following penetrating keratoplasty or following refractive (e.g. LASIK) surgery.
The BostonSight IC Scleral Lens is a large diameter RGP lens design that vaults over the cornea and rests on the conjunctiva overlying the sclera.

Here's an analysis of the provided text to extract information about acceptance criteria and study details.
Important Note: The provided text is a 510(k) Summary of Safety and Effectiveness for the BostonSight IC Corneal & Scleral Lenses. It claims substantial equivalence to predicate devices, meaning it relies heavily on the safety and effectiveness data of those previously cleared devices rather than extensive new studies directly evaluating the performance of the BostonSight IC lenses against specific acceptance criteria in a standalone or comparative effectiveness study. As such, many of the requested data points (like sample size for a test set, number of experts for ground truth, MRMC study details) are not present for the BostonSight IC lenses themselves, but rather for the predicate devices as referenced.
Acceptance Criteria and Device Performance (Based on Substantial Equivalence to Predicate Devices):
This section summarizes the "performance" of the BostonSight IC lenses by demonstrating their equivalence to predicate devices, particularly regarding physical properties, material composition, and intended use. The acceptance criteria, in this context, are implicitly met if the BostonSight IC lenses are shown to be equivalent to devices already deemed safe and effective by the FDA.

Study Details (Directly for BostonSight IC Corneal & Scleral Lenses):
-
Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance:
- Test Set Sample Size: Not explicitly stated as a separate clinical "test set" in the traditional sense for the BostonSight IC lenses. The submission focuses on bench testing and bioburden testing for the new device, and relies on the clinical data of the predicate devices.
- Data Provenance: Bench testing and bioburden testing were conducted by Boston Foundation for Sight. The clinical safety and effectiveness data are primarily sourced from the predicate device clearances (K033594, K022128, K071266), which would have involved prospective clinical trials in their respective submissions. The country of origin for the predicate device studies is not specified in this document.
-
Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts:
- Not applicable for the bench testing or bioburden testing. For the clinical data referenced from predicate devices, this information is not provided in the 510(k) summary for the BostonSight IC lenses.
-
Adjudication method (e.g., 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set:
- Not applicable for the bench testing or bioburden testing. For the clinical data referenced from predicate devices, this information is not provided.
-
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:
- Not applicable. This device is a contact lens, not an AI-assisted diagnostic tool or imaging system.
-
If a standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the loop performance) was done:
- Not applicable. This device is a contact lens, not an algorithm. Bench testing (e.g., manufacturing verification, bioburden) represents standalone performance of the physical product.
-
The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.):
- For the bench testing described (manufacturing verification, bioburden), the "ground truth" would be the established engineering specifications (e.g., ANSI Z80.20 tolerance for lens parameters) and microbial limits (e.g., <100 CFU per lens).
- For the clinical safety and effectiveness data on which the substantial equivalence is based, the ground truth would have been established through methods typical for contact lens clinical trials, likely involving clinical outcomes (visual acuity, comfort, adverse events, slit lamp examination findings, etc.) compared against established metrics or control devices.
-
The sample size for the training set:
- Not applicable. This product is a physical medical device (contact lens) and not an AI/machine learning algorithm that requires a "training set" in the computational sense. The manufacturing verification involved testing lenses produced by Boston Foundation for Sight. The "training" for the manufacturing process would be the internal process development and quality control validations.
-
How the ground truth for the training set was established:
- Not applicable for the reason stated above. If interpreting "training set" as the data used to validate the manufacturing process, the ground truth would be the defined product specifications and quality standards (e.g., ANSI Z80.20, ISO standards).

- · Solution Compatibility
- Clinical Evaluation
Additionally, the following testing was performed:
Bench Testing-manufacturing verification testing was conducted to demonstrate the ability of Boston Foundation for Sight to manufacture lenses, on a repeatable basis, from supplied lens blanks to a variety of prescribed parameters. All lenses were manufactured to established finished product specifications within the ANSI Z80.20 tolerance.
Bioburden Testing-bioburden testing conducted on rigid gas permeable lenses manufactured at Boston Foundation for Sight demonstrated that the colony forming units (CFU) per lens was less than 1. which is within the established acceptance criteria of less than 100 CFU per lens.
~ Conclusions Drawn from Testing ~
Testing presented in this submission demonstrate no significant differences from the predicate devicessupporting the substantial equivalence claim of these BostonSight IC Corneal & Scleral Lenses to the already marketed roflufocon D. roflufocon E. oprifocon A. and hexafocon B RGP contact lenses.
Substantial Equivalence:
The BostonSight IC Corneal & Scleral Lenses for Daily Wear are substantially equivalent to the predicate devices and do not raise different questions of safety and effectiveness than the predicate devices identified previously.
~ Discussion of Similarities and Differences ~
The BostonSight IC Corneal & Scleral Lenses are identical to the predicate devices in terms of material (USAN), indications, lens design, and production method. There are no significant differences to report between the BostonSight IC Corneal & Scleral Lenses and the predicate devices.

§ 886.5916 Rigid gas permeable contact lens.
(a)
Identification. A rigid gas permeable contact lens is a device intended to be worn directly against the cornea of the eye to correct vision conditions. The device is made of various materials, such as cellulose acetate butyrate, polyacrylate-silicone, or silicone elastomers, whose main polymer molecules generally do not absorb or attract water.(b)
Classification. (1) Class II if the device is intended for daily wear only.(2) Class III if the device is intended for extended wear.
(c)
Date PMA or notice of completion of a PDP is required. As of May 28, 1976, an approval under section 515 of the act is required before a device described in paragraph (b)(2) of this section may be commercially distributed. See § 886.3.
