The summary describes a contact lens and its material properties, manufacturing process, and intended use for vision correction. There is no mention of any computational or analytical functions that would typically involve AI/ML.
No.
The device is indicated for optical correction of refractive ametropia and presbyopia, which are optical defects, not diseases. It does not treat or cure any medical condition.
No
Explanation: The document describes a contact lens intended for optical correction of refractive errors, not for diagnosing medical conditions. It clearly states its purpose is for "optical correction of refractive ametropia."
No
The device description clearly details a physical contact lens made of specific materials and manufactured through a cast-molding process. It is a tangible hardware device, not software.
Based on the provided text, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
- Device Description and Intended Use: The description clearly states that this device is a contact lens intended for the optical correction of refractive errors (myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism, presbyopia) by being placed on the surface of the eye. It does not involve testing samples from the body.
- Anatomical Site: The anatomical site is the eye (cornea), which is where the device is applied, not where a sample is taken for analysis.
The device is a medical device, specifically a contact lens, but it does not fit the definition of an in vitro diagnostic.

Device Description
The Etafilcon with Tangible Coating (etafilcon A) Soft (Hydrophilic) Daily Wear Contact Lens is available in an aspheric design and manufactured using the cast-molding process. The lenses consist of 58% water and 42% etafilcon A. The lens material is a random copolymer composed of 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) and methacrylic acid (MAA), which are crosslinked with Trimethylolpropane trimethacrylate (TMPTMA) and Ethylene Glycol Dimethacrylate (EGDMA) via UV photo-polymerization.
The Etafilcon with TangibleTM Coating (etafficon A) Soft (Hydrophilic) Daily Wear Contact Lenses are available in a light blue tint ([Phthalocyaninato(2-)]copper) for visibility and handling. The lenses also contain a Benzotriazole ultraviolet (UV) absorbing monomer to block UV radiation. The average transmittance characteristics are less than 5% in the UVB range (280 to 315 mm), and less than 30% in the UVA range (316 to 380nm).
The Etafilcon with Tangible TM Coating (etafilcon A) Soft (Hydrophilic) Daily Wear Contact Lens is treated to incorporate Tangible TM Coating Technology-which is a thin biocompatible polymer that is covalently bonded to the surface of the contact lens.
In the hydrated state, the lens conforms to the curvature of the eye covering the cornea and extending slightly beyond the limbus forming a colorless, transparent optical surface. The (etafilcon A) soft hydrophilic contact lens has an aspheric back surface. The hydrophilic properties of the lens require that it be maintained in a fully hydrated state in a solution compatible with the eye. If the lens dries out, it will become hard and appear somewhat warped; it will return to its proper configuration when completely rehydrated in the proper storage solution.
The lenses are supplied sterile in blister packages containing a buffered saline solution. Package labeling is printed with appropriate lot numbering, expiration dating and lens parameter identification. Expiration dating has been established based on studies of product stability, package integrity, and validation of the sterilization process.
