Sphere/Asphere: AVAIRA VITALITY SPHERE and ASPHERE (fanfilcon A) Soft Contact lenses are indicated for the correction of ametropia (myopia and hyperopia) in aphakic and non-aphakic persons with non-diseased eyes in powers from -20.00 to +20.00 diopters. The lenses may be worn by persons who exhibit astigmatism of 2.00 diopters or less that does not interfere with visual acuity. Toric: AVAIRA VITALITY (fanfilcon A) TORIC Soft Contact lenses are indicated for the correction of ametropia (myopia or hyperopia with astigmatism) in aphakic and non- aphakic persons with non-diseased eyes in powers from -20.00 to +20.00 diopters and astigmatic corrections from -0.25 to -10.00 diopters. Multifocal: AVAIRA VITALITY (fanfilcon A) MULTIFOCAL Soft lenses are indicated for the correction of refractive ametropia (myopia and hyperopia) and emmetropia with presbyopia in aphakic persons with non-diseased eyes in powers from -20.00 to +20.00 diopters and with add powers from +0.25 to +4.00 diopters. The lenses may be worn by persons who exhibit astigmatism of 2.00 diopters or less that does not interfere with visual acuity. Multifocal Toric: AVAIRA VITALITY (fanfilcon A) MULTIFOCAL TORIC Soft Contact lenses are indicated for the optic correction of distance and near vision in presbyopic phakic or aphakic persons with non-diseased eyes in powers of -20.00 to +20.00 diopters with add powers from +0.25 to +4.00 diopters and astigmatism corrections from -0.25 to -10.00 diopters. Eye Care Practitioners may prescribe the Avaira Vitality (fanfilcon A) Soft Contact lenses for frequent/planned replacement wear, with cleaning, disinfection and scheduled replacement or for single-use disposable wear. When prescribed for frequent/planned replacement, the Avaira Vitality (fanfilcon A) Soft Contact lens is to be cleaned, rinsed and disinfected each time the lens is removed. The contact lens is to be discarded after the recommended wearing period as prescribed by the Eye Care Professional. When prescribed for frequent/ planned replacement wear, the lenses may be disinfected using a chemical disinfection only. When prescribed for single-use disposable wear, the Avaira Vitality (fanfilcon A) Soft Contact lens is to be discarded after each removal.
Device Description
The AVAIRA VITALITY (fanfilcon A) Contact Lens visibility tinted with UV blocker is available as a sphere/asphere lens, toric lens, multifocal lens, and multifocal toric lens. The lenses are made of a silicone hydrogel material which is not surface treated and is characterized by high oxygen permeability (Dk). The AVAIRA VITALITY (fanfilcon A)) Contact Lens is tinted blue using Reactive Blue #246 to make the lens more visible for handling. A Norbloc UV blocker is used to reduce the amount of ultraviolet light transmitted into the eye. The AVAIRA VITALITY (fanfilcon A) lens is supplied sterile, packaged in a buffered saline solution. The composition of the lens is 45% fanfilcon A and 55% water by weight when hydrated and stored in buffered saline solution.
More Information

Not Found

No
The document describes a contact lens and its intended use, material composition, and clinical study results. There is no mention of AI or ML technology being incorporated into the device or its function.

No.
Explanation: The device is indicated for the "correction of ametropia (myopia and hyperopia)" and "astigmatic corrections," which are refractive corrections rather than therapeutic treatments for a disease or condition.

No

The device is a soft contact lens indicated for the correction of ametropia, not for diagnosing medical conditions.

No

The device is a physical contact lens made of silicone hydrogel material, not software.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that these are soft contact lenses for the correction of ametropia (myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism, and presbyopia). This is a therapeutic and corrective function, not a diagnostic one.
  • Device Description: The description details the material, tinting, UV blocker, and packaging of the contact lenses. It does not mention any components or functions related to analyzing biological samples or providing diagnostic information.
  • Performance Studies: The clinical study described evaluates the safety and efficacy of the lenses for vision correction and wear, not for diagnosing any condition.
  • Anatomical Site: While the anatomical site is the eyes, the device interacts with the eye for vision correction, not for obtaining diagnostic information from the eye itself or its fluids.

IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for the diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment of a disease or condition. This description does not align with that definition.

Description of the test set, sample size, data source, and annotation protocol

A series of in-vitro and in-vivo preclinical toxicology and biocompatibility tests were performed to assess the safety and effectiveness of the contact lens. All tests were conducted in accordance with the GLP regulation (21 CFR Part 56) or according to valid scientific protocols.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

Non-clinical Testing: A series of in-vitro and in-vivo preclinical toxicology and biocompatibility tests were performed to assess the safety and effectiveness of the contact lens. All tests were conducted in accordance with the GLP regulation (21 CFR Part 56) or according to valid scientific protocols. The results demonstrated that the lens material and/or extracts are non-toxic, non-irritating and non-sensitizing, and the lens physical and material properties are consistent with currently marketed lenses.

Clinical Testing:

  • Study Type: A three-month clinical study, multi-center, randomized, masked, concurrent control study.
  • Sample Size: Ninety (90) male and female subjects (60 subjects in Test lenses, 30 subjects in Control lenses).
  • Primary Outcome Measures: Slit lamp (biomicroscopy) findings and adverse event rates, along with lens visual acuity comparisons between Test and Control contact lenses.
  • Secondary Outcome Measures: Average lens wearing times and subjective lens comfort assessed by frequency or symptoms.
  • Key Results: The Test contact lens was found to be substantially equivalent to the Control contact lens for safety and efficacy.

Non-clinical Testing

A series of in-vitro and in-vivo preclinical toxicology and biocompatibility tests were performed to assess the safety and effectiveness of the contact lens. All tests were conducted in accordance with the GLP regulation (21 CFR Part 56) or according to valid scientific protocols.

The results of the non-clinical testing/evaluation demonstrate that:

  • The lens material and/or extracts are non-toxic, non-irritating and non-sensitizing under the experimental conditions; and
  • The lens physical and material properties are consistent with currently marketed lenses.

Clinical Testing

A three-month clinical study was completed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the AVAIRA VITALITY (fanfilcon A) Contact Lens for daily wear with a replacement schedule of one month (up to 30 days).

The study was a multi-center, randomized, masked, concurrent control study that evaluated ninety (90) male and female subjects who were dispensed lenses in a 2:1 ratio with 60 subjects dispensed into the Test lenses and 30 subjects dispensed into the Control lenses. The primary outcome measures were slit lamp (biomicroscopy) findings and adverse event rates along with lens visual acuity comparisons between the Test and the Control contact lenses. Secondary outcome measures included average lens wearing times and subjective lens comfort assessed by frequency or symptoms.

The Test contact lens was found to be substantially equivalent to the Control contact lens for safety and efficacy.

Conclusion Drawn from Studies

Validity of Scientific Data:

A contract laboratory under Good Laboratory Practice Regulations conducted toxicology studies. Microbiology, chemistry, shelf-life stability, and leachability studies were conducted by Cooper Vision laboratories and followed scientific protocols. The data were determined to be scientifically valid under 21 CFR 860.7.

Substantial Equivalence:

Information presented in this Premarket Notification establishes that the AVAIRA VITALITY (fanfilcon A) Contact Lens is as safe and effective as the predicate device when used in accordance with the labeled directions for use and the requested indication.

Risk and Benefits:

The risks of the subject device are the same as those normally attributed to the wearing of soft (hydrophilic) contact lenses on a daily wear basis. The benefits to the patient are the same as those for other soft (hydrophilic) contact lenses.
