Eye care professionals may prescribe the lenses for daily disposable wear (lenses are discarded upon removal from the eye) or daily wear with removal for cleaning and disinfection (chemical, not heat) prior to reinsertion and frequent replacement, as recommended by the eye care professional.
The lens material is 33% water and 67% lotrafilcon B, a fluoro-silicone containing hydrogel which is surface treated. Contact lenses contain the color additive phthalocyanine blue, a light blue handling tint, which helps make them easier to see when handling.
Lotrafilcon B lens designs include spherical. toric, multifocal toric lenses in the following parameter ranges:
• Diameter Range: 13.0 to 15.0 mm
• Base Curve Range: 8.0 to 9.2 mm
• Power Range: -20.00D to +20.00D
• Center Thickness: varies with design and power (Example: 0.08 mm for -3.00D spherical)
Lenses have the following properties:
- . Refractive index: 1.42 (hydrated)
- Light transmittance: > 94 % ●
- Water content : 33% by weight in normal saline
- Oxygen permeability 110 x 10-11 ●
[(cm2 /sec)(ml O2 /ml mmHg)] measured at 35°C (intrinsic Dk-Coulometric method)
Lotrafilcon B contact lenses are supplied sterile in sealed blister packs containing isotonic phosphate buffered saline solution (PBS) with or without additives [1% Copolymer 845, or 1% Copolymer 845 and 0.04% (400 ppm) polyoxyethylene-polyoxybutylene copolymer (EO45BO10)]. The compatibility and package integrity of the blister pack packaging system have been demonstrated and successfully used for other marketed lens products, and packaged lenses are effectively steam sterilized in a validated autoclave. Blister pack containers are labeled with the lens parameters, lot number and product expiration date. The expiration date has been established through stability studies that have assessed the chemical stability of the lens and package integrity (ability to maintain sterility).
This document from the FDA is a 510(k) premarket notification for a medical device -- a soft contact lens. It serves to demonstrate substantial equivalence to a predicate device, not necessarily to provide detailed acceptance criteria and a study report designed to prove the device meets these criteria in a typical clinical trial format for AI/ML devices. Therefore, a direct response to all your questions in the requested format for acceptance criteria and a study proving it meets them may not be fully extractable as this is not the primary purpose of this type of regulatory document.
However, I can extract information related to the device and its claimed equivalence.
Here's an attempt to answer your questions based on the provided document, recognizing the limitations of the document's nature:
Acceptance Criteria and Study for AIR OPTIX plus HydraGlyde (lotrafilcon B) Soft Contact Lenses
Given that this is a 510(k) premarket notification for a contact lens, the "acceptance criteria" are not presented as numerical thresholds for an AI/ML device's performance metrics (e.g., sensitivity, specificity, AUC). Instead, the acceptance criteria are implicitly that the new device, when packaged in modified saline, performs equivalently to or better than the predicate device across critical safety and performance characteristics for contact lenses. The "study" here refers to a series of nonclinical tests demonstrating this equivalence.
1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and the Reported Device Performance
| Acceptance Criteria (Implicit) | Reported Device Performance (AIR OPTIX plus HydraGlyde in modified saline) |
|---|---|
| Biocompatibility: Non-toxic and non-irritating | The lens material, lens extracts, and package saline are equivalent to the predicate and remain non-toxic and non-irritating. (Nonclinical biocompatibility testing conducted in accordance with GLP 21 CFR Part 58). |
| Physical and Material Properties: Consistent with industry-marketed lenses and equivalent to or better than the predicate lens | Lens physical and material properties are consistent with industry-marketed lenses and equivalent to or better than the predicate lens. Specific properties are listed in "Device Description" and "Substantial Equivalence Comparison," including: - Refractive Index: 1.42 (hydrated) - Light Transmittance: > 94 % - Water Content: 33% by weight - Oxygen Permeability (Dk): 110 x 10^-11 [(cm^2/sec)(ml O2/ml mmHg)] (intrinsic Dk-Coulometric method) - Other: Plasma-treated surface, double-side molding manufacturing, visibility tint (copper phthalocyanine blue). These match the predicate device. |
| Compatibility with Lens Care Products: Compatible with commonly available lens care products | The device in modified saline is compatible with commonly available lens care products, like the predicate device. |
| Packaging & Sterilization: Maintains sterility and integrity, and lenses are effectively sterilized | Compatibility and package integrity of the blister pack packaging system have been demonstrated. Packaged lenses are effectively steam sterilized in a validated autoclave. Stability studies assessed chemical stability of the lens and package integrity. The packaging (global blister pack) and sterilization method (steam sterilization, validated autoclave) are the same as the predicate. The package storage saline solution is Phosphate buffered saline with 1% Copolymer 845 and 0.04% (400 ppm) ethylene oxide-butylene oxide (EO45BQ10) copolymer, which is a key difference from the predicate (which was Phosphate buffered saline with or without 1% Copolymer 845). The nonclinical tests confirm equivalence despite this change. |
| Indications for Use: Matches predicate for various lens types (spherical, toric, multifocal, multifocal toric) | Spherical: Optical correction of refractive ametropia (myopia and hyperopia) in phakic persons with non-diseased eyes and ~1.50D astigmatism. Toric: Optical correction of refractive ametropia (myopia and hyperopia) in phakic/aphakic persons with non-diseased eyes and <= 6.00D astigmatism. Multifocal: Optical correction of presbyopia with or without ametropia (myopia and hyperopia) in phakic/aphakic persons with non-diseased eyes, requiring <= +3.00D add, and ~1.50D astigmatism. Multifocal Toric: Optical correction of refractive ametropia (myopia) and presbyopia in phakic/aphakic persons with non-diseased eyes and <= 6.00D refractive and/or corneal astigmatism. Wearing Schedule: Daily disposable or daily wear with chemical disinfection. All indications are essentially the same as the predicate. |
2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance
The document describes "nonclinical tests" performed to demonstrate equivalence. It does not provide specific sample sizes or details on "test sets" in the context of an AI/ML clinical study (e.g., patient data). The testing would have involved laboratory analyses of the lens material, extracts, and packaged solution. The provenance would be laboratory testing data, not patient data from a specific country, and it refers to physical/chemical properties rather than retrospective or prospective patient outcomes.
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 510(k) submission. "Ground truth" in the context of an AI/ML device (e.g., expert consensus on image interpretation, pathology reports) is not relevant for demonstrating substantial equivalence for a physical medical device like a contact lens. The "truth" here is established by validated laboratory testing methods and comparison to established predicate device properties and clinical performance.
4. Adjudication method for the test set
Not applicable. There's no "adjudication method" in the sense of reconciling disagreements among human readers or experts for device performance, as it's not an AI/ML diagnostic or prognostic device.
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
Not applicable. This device is a contact lens, not an AI-assisted diagnostic tool. Therefore, an MRMC study and effects on human reader improvement with AI are not relevant.
6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done
Not applicable. This device is not an algorithm or AI system.
7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc)
The "ground truth" for the nonclinical tests is based on standardized laboratory testing methods and accepted scientific principles for evaluating the properties of contact lens materials, their biocompatibility, and sterilization effectiveness. The predicate device's established performance serves as the benchmark for equivalence. If patient data were involved in the predicate's original approval, that would likely have included clinical outcomes, but this document focuses on the new device's equivalence via nonclinical tests.
8. The sample size for the training set
Not applicable. There is no AI/ML model, and therefore no "training set."
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established
Not applicable, as there is no training set.
