The DAILIES® lens material is nelfilcon A, a high water, non-ionic hydrophilic lens material consisting of approximately 31% PVA (polyviny) alcohol partially acetalized with N-formylmethyl acrylamide) and 69% water. The lens material is considered a Group II contact lens material per 1994 FDA 510(k) guidance document for daily wear contact lenses. The lens material further contains non-functionalized PVA (high- and/or ultra-high molecular weight PVA) and the color additive phthalocyanine blue to create a light blue edge to edge tint (Visitint®) to make the lenses easier to see when handling.

2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance:
The document does not explicitly state a specific "test set" sample size for the modified devices as part of a standalone study directly assessing their primary performance against acceptance criteria in a quantitative manner. Instead, the focus is on a comparison to predicate devices and confirmation of performance through various non-clinical tests.
- Biocompatibility Testing: Conducted on a "series of in vivo biocompatibility evaluations." The specific number of samples or animals used is not detailed, but it was conducted in accordance with GLP regulation (21 CFR Part 58) and relevant ISO 10993 series standards. This implies a standard, but unspecified, number of samples for such tests.
- Stability Testing: Conducted to support the labeled expiration date. The sample size is not specified.
- Clinical Testing: Not required due to the "great similarity of the modified devices to the predicate devices and successful results from nonclinical testing." This means no human clinical test set was used for the modified devices to establish substantial equivalence directly, in terms of primary clinical performance.
Data Provenance: The document implies that the biocompatibility and stability testing data was generated by the manufacturer (Alcon Laboratories, Inc.). There is no mention of country of origin for the data or if it was retrospective or prospective, though in vivo studies are typically prospective.
3. Number of Experts Used to Establish Ground Truth for the Test Set and Their Qualifications:
Not applicable. No ground truth in the sense of expert consensus on image interpretation or diagnostic performance was established for a test set, as clinical testing was not deemed necessary for the modified devices. The "ground truth" for the non-clinical tests would be the established scientific and regulatory standards for biocompatibility and stability, as interpreted by the testing labs and regulatory agencies.
4. Adjudication Method:
Not applicable. No adjudication method was mentioned for a clinical test set, as clinical testing was not performed for the modified devices to establish substantial equivalence. For non-clinical tests, reconciliation of results would follow standard laboratory practices and regulatory guidelines, rather than an adjudication method among experts for a diagnostic outcome.
5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study Was Done:
No. A multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was not performed. Clinical testing was explicitly stated as "not required" due to the similarity to predicate devices and successful non-clinical testing. Therefore, there is no effect size of human readers improving with or without AI assistance, as AI is not mentioned as a component of this device.
6. If a Standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) Was Done:
Not applicable. This device is a contact lens, not a medical imaging or diagnostic algorithm. Thus, the concept of "standalone" algorithm performance without human-in-the-loop is not relevant. The device itself is the primary product, and "performance" refers to its physical and biological properties.
7. The Type of Ground Truth Used:
The "ground truth" for the assessment of this device is based on:
- Established device specifications and performance characteristics of the predicate devices (e.g., refractive index, light transmittance, oxygen permeability, elastic modulus, water content). The modified devices were compared to these established values.
- Biocompatibility standards: ISO 10993 series and GLP regulations. The "truth" is whether the materials and final product meet these safety standards (e.g., non-cytotoxic, non-irritating).
- Stability standards: The ability to maintain specified performance characteristics over the labeled shelf-life.
This ground truth is primarily based on measured physical and chemical properties, and established regulatory safety standards, rather than expert consensus on a diagnostic outcome or pathology.
8. The Sample Size for the Training Set:
Not applicable. This device is a physical medical device (contact lens), not an AI/ML algorithm. Therefore, there is no "training set" in the context of machine learning. The manufacturing process is established, and design parameters are derived from engineering and material science, not data-driven training.
9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established:
Not applicable, as there is no "training set" for an AI/ML algorithm.

In accordance with the criteria for claims of substantial equivalence in the FDA guidance Premarket Notification 510(k) Guidance Document for Daily Wear Contact Lenses, May 1994, the information provided supports the claim of substantial equivalence to a lens with an existing USAN and the same manufacturing process.
VII. Performance Data
Performance testing was conducted in consideration of the May 1994 FDA guideline titled Premarket Notification 510(k) Guidance Document for Class II Contact Lenses and applicable ISO standards for contact lenses. The following performance data are provided in support of the substantial equivalence determination.
Biocompatibility Testing
Test results from a series of in vivo biocompatibility evaluations, including cytotoxicity, ocular irritation and systemic toxicity testing, confirm that the minor device modifications do not negatively impact the safety of the devices and that the modified devices are non-toxic and biocompatible.
All biocompatibility testing was conducted in accordance with the GLP regulation (21 CFR Part 58) and relevant ISO 10993 series biocompatibility standards.
Stability Testing
Successful stability testing supports the labeled expiration date for the modified devices.
Clinical Testing
Based on the great similarity of the modified devices to the predicate devices and successful results from nonclinical testing, clinical testing was not required to establish substantial equivalence.
VIII. Conclusions
The cumulative results of all performance testing demonstrate the safety, efficacy and performance of the modified devices and, thus, substantial equivalence to the predicate devices.
§ 886.5925 Soft (hydrophilic) contact lens.
(a)
Identification. A soft (hydrophilic) contact lens is a device intended to be worn directly against the cornea and adjacent limbal and scleral areas of the eye to correct vision conditions or act as a therapeutic bandage. The device is made of various polymer materials the main polymer molecules of which absorb or attract a certain volume (percentage) of 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.
