Device Description
DAILIES® AquaComfort Plus® are a family of soft contact lenses intended for the optical correction of refractive error. DAILIES® AquaComfort Plus® lenses are available in spherical, toric and multifocal designs. The DAILIES® AquaComfort Plus® lens material is nelfilcon A, a high water, nonionic hydrophilic lens material consisting of approximately 31% PVA (polyvinyl 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. DAILIES® AquaComfort Plus® soft contact lenses are supplied sterile. The lenses immersed in buffered saline solution are packaged in individual foil-blister-packs primary packaging system and are terminally sterilized in a validated autoclave (moist heat, steam under pressure). The foil-blister pack primary packaging system consists of an injection molded polypropylene blister shell sealed with a polyester coated aluminum foil lidding material top. The lenses are supplied in strips of five foil sealed blister packs each containing approximately 0.65 ml phosphate-acetate buffered saline solution. The packaging saline may contain up to 0.05% Poloxamer 108. The package saline additionally contains the comfort additives hydroxypropylmethyl cellulose (HPMC) and polyethylene glycol 400 (PEG 400). Sealed blister strips are provided in secondary packaging carton boxes containing 5, 30 or 90 lenses each.

No
The 510(k) summary describes standard contact lenses and their material properties. There is no mention of AI or ML in the intended use, device description, or performance studies.

No.
The device is indicated for the optical correction of refractive ametropia (myopia and hyperopia) and/or presbyopia, which are refractive errors rather than diseases or conditions requiring therapy.

No

These contact lenses are indicated for the optical correction of refractive ametropia (myopia and hyperopia) and/or presbyopia, meaning they are used to correct vision, not to diagnose a condition.

No

The device description clearly states it is a physical contact lens made of nelfilcon A, a material, and is supplied in physical packaging. It is 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 devices intended for use in the collection, preparation, and examination of specimens taken from the human body (such as blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information for the diagnosis, treatment, or prevention of disease.
  • Device Description and Intended Use: The text clearly describes the DAILIES® AquaComfort Plus® contact lenses as devices for the optical correction of refractive ametropia (myopia and hyperopia). They are worn on the eye to improve vision.
  • Lack of Specimen Analysis: There is no mention of collecting or analyzing any specimens from the human body. The device itself is placed on the surface of the eye.

Therefore, the function and intended use of these contact lenses fall outside the scope of an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

IV. Device Description

DAILIES® AquaComfort Plus® are a family of soft contact lenses intended for the optical correction of refractive error. DAILIES® AquaComfort Plus® lenses are available in spherical, toric and multifocal designs.

The DAILIES® AquaComfort Plus® lens material is nelfilcon A, a high water, nonionic hydrophilic lens material consisting of approximately 31% PVA (polyvinyl 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.

DAILIES® AquaComfort Plus® soft contact lenses are supplied sterile. The lenses immersed in buffered saline solution are packaged in individual foil-blister-packs primary packaging system and are terminally sterilized in a validated autoclave (moist heat, steam under pressure).

The foil-blister pack primary packaging system consists of an injection molded polypropylene blister shell sealed with a polyester coated aluminum foil lidding material top. The lenses are supplied in strips of five foil sealed blister packs each containing approximately 0.65 ml phosphate-acetate buffered saline solution. The packaging saline may contain up to 0.05% Poloxamer 108. The package saline additionally contains the comfort additives hydroxypropylmethyl cellulose (HPMC) and polyethylene glycol 400 (PEG 400). Sealed blister strips are provided in secondary packaging carton boxes containing 5, 30 or 90 lenses each.

Indications for Use V.

The 510(k) devices are a modification of the same predicate devices. The Indications for Use remain the same:

DAILIES® AquaComfort Plus® (nelfilcon A) One-Day Contact Lenses are indicated for daily wear for the optical correction of refractive ametropia (myopia and hyperopia) in not-aphakic persons with non-diseased eyes with up to approximately 1.50 diopters (D) of astigmatism that does not interfere with visual acuity.

DAILIES® AquaComfort Plus® Toric (nelfilcon A) One-Day Contact Lenses are indicated for daily wear for the optical correction of refractive ametropia (myopia and hyperopia) in not-aphakic persons with non-diseased eyes with 6.00 diopters (D) or less of astigmatism.

4

DAILIES® AquaComfort Plus® Multifocal (nelfilcon A) One-Day Contact Lenses are indicated for daily wear for the optical correction of refractive ametropia (myopia or hyperopia) and/or presbyopia in not-aphakic persons with non-diseased eyes who may require a reading addition of +3.00 diopters (D) or less and who may have 2.00 diopters (D) or less of astigmatism that does not interfere with visual acuity.

All DAILIES® AquaComfort Plus® (nelfilcon A) One-Day Contact Lenses are to be prescribed for single use, daily disposable wear. The lenses are not intended to be cleaned or disinfected and should be discarded after a single use.

VI. Comparison of Technological Characteristics with the Predicate Device

The proposed device modification involves adding an alternate foil lidding material (i.e. 'Oracle 6B' lidding) from an existing approved supplier (i.e. Oracle Packaging) for use in the primary packaging (i.e. foil-blister pack container system) of DAILIES® AquaComfort Plus® family soft contact lenses.

Table 1: Substantial Equivalence Comparison

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. The following performance data are provided in support of the substantial equivalence determination:

Non-clinical Testing

Successful stability and biocompatibility testing as well as process validation were completed for the modified device to verify equivalence to the predicate device. This resulted in all acceptance criteria being met.

Clinical Testing

The scope of the device modification did not require clinical testing to establish safety and effectiveness of the modified device.

VIII. Conclusions

The cumulative results of all performance testing demonstrate the safety, efficacy and performance of the modified device and, thus, substantial equivalence to the predicate device.

DAILIES® AquaComfort Plus® (nelfilcon A) soft contact lenses in modified primary packaging including the alternate foil lidding material 'Oracle 6B' are substantially equivalent to the predicate lenses in terms of material properties, biocompatibility, clinical performance, and indications for use.

Any differences which may exist between the modified and the predicate device do not adversely affect the established performance characteristics and safety and effectiveness profile.
