Additional Performance Tests (Qualitative/Binary):

  • Biocompatibility: Negative responses for cytotoxicity, maximization, and ocular irritation tests. Validity of blister packaging demonstrated by passing extraction tests. (Applies to both proposed and predicate as they share the same material).
  • Microbiology (Sterilization): Steam sterilization validated to deliver minimum SAL of 10⁻⁶. Shelf-life stability supports sterility through expiration.
  • Bacteriostatic Validation: Steam sterilizer effectiveness confirmed. Microorganisms killed under tested conditions. Lenses remained sterilized with no microbial growth for 5 years (accelerated conditions). Package seal remained tight for 5 years (accelerated conditions).
  • Leachability: No leachable monomers and additive residues at detected levels.

2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance

The provided document describes non-clinical performance tests for material properties, biocompatibility, microbiology, bacteriostatic validation, and leachability. It does not describe a "test set" in the context of an algorithm or diagnostic device. Instead, it refers to the product itself and its components undergoing various testing.

  • Sample Size: The document does not specify exact sample sizes for each non-clinical test (e.g., how many lenses were tested for water content, or how many individual cytotoxicity tests were conducted). It only states that "All tests were conducted in accordance with the May 1994 FDA Guidance Document for Daily Wear Contact Lenses."
  • Data Provenance: The tests are described as being performed to demonstrate safety and effectiveness of the NaturalVue (etafilcon A) Daily Disposable Soft (Hydrophilic) Contact Lenses. The data originates from these non-clinical studies conducted by or for Visioneering Technologies, Inc. There is no mention of country of origin for the underlying data, but the submission is to the U.S. FDA. The data is implicitly prospective in the sense that these tests were performed on the device or its components to support this specific 510(k) submission, rather than re-analyzing existing data.

3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications of those Experts

This question is not applicable to this submission. The device is a contact lens, not an AI/diagnostic algorithm that requires expert-established ground truth for its performance evaluation in the way a medical image analysis software would. The "ground truth" for contact lenses is established through standardized physical, chemical, and biological testing methods (e.g., measuring water content, oxygen permeability, cytotoxicity, sterility).

4. Adjudication Method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the Test Set

This question is not applicable as there is no "test set" in the context of human expert review and adjudication for an AI/diagnostic algorithm. The non-clinical tests described have quantifiable outcomes or pass/fail criteria based on established scientific methods.

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

This question is not applicable. The device is a contact lens and does not involve AI or human readers for diagnostic interpretation.

6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done

This question is not applicable. The device is a contact lens and does not involve an algorithm.

7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.)

For the non-clinical tests performed, the "ground truth" is based on:

  • Established scientific methodologies and standards: For material properties (e.g., water content, refractive index, oxygen permeability, transmittance), the ground truth is the measured physical/chemical properties.
  • Validated biological tests: For biocompatibility (cytotoxicity, maximization, ocular irritation), the ground truth is the biological response observed in animal or in-vitro models according to recognized standards.
  • Sterilization validation standards: For microbiology, the ground truth is the demonstration of a specific sterility assurance level (SAL).
  • Analytical chemistry techniques: For leachability, the ground truth is the detection or non-detection of leachable substances.

8. The sample size for the training set

This question is not applicable. The device is a contact lens and does not involve a "training set" for an AI algorithm.

9. How the ground truth for the training set was established

This question is not applicable. The device is a contact lens and does not involve a "training set" for an AI algorithm.

Summary of the Study and Conclusion:

The study presented is a non-clinical evaluation to demonstrate the substantial equivalence of the NaturalVue (etafilcon A) Daily Disposable Soft (Hydrophilic) Contact Lenses to a previously cleared predicate device (K150385). The central argument for substantial equivalence relies on:

  • Identical material composition (etafilcon A): The USAN name, material classification (Group 4 high water ionic), water content (58%), refractive index (1.4023), oxygen permeability (19.73 x 10⁻¹¹), % T at 593nm (>95%), UVA transmittance (<30%), and UVB transmittance (<5%) are all identical to the predicate device.
  • Identical production method: Cast-molded.
  • Identical range of lens designs.
  • Historical Clinical Use: The submission leverages the well-established safety and effectiveness of etafilcon A lenses, citing several predicate and reference devices, including the K150385.
  • Non-Clinical Performance Tests: Comprehensive testing was conducted in accordance with FDA guidance for daily wear contact lenses, covering:
    • Material Properties: Confirmed the listed characteristics are equivalent to the predicate.
    • Biocompatibility: Demonstrated material safety based on negative responses in cytotoxicity, maximization, and ocular irritation tests.
    • Microbiology: Validated the steam sterilization process to achieve a minimum SAL of 10⁻⁶ and confirmed shelf-life sterility.
    • Bacteriostatic Validation: Confirmed sterilizer effectiveness and lens sterility/package integrity over time (accelerated conditions).
    • Leachability: Showed no detectable leachable monomers or additive residues.
  • Modification: The only significant difference highlighted is the modified saline solution (addition of Tween 80, Sodium Hyaluronate, and Polyethylene Glycol), which was previously cleared under K161739, implying its safety and compatibility.

The conclusion is that based on these performance and manufacturing verification studies, the proposed device is equivalent to the predicate device with respect to intended use, principles of operation, and technological characteristics, especially given the prior clearance of the modified saline solution.

TECNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS:

Historical Clinical Use

Daily Wear disposable contact lenses made from etafilcon A lenses have been used widely. Their safety and effectiveness has been well established and documented. Their safety and effectiveness can be further exemplified by the following lenses, as well as many others as discussed in the 510(k), cleared by FDA:

  • ACUVUE (etafilcon A) Contact lens, clear and visibility tint with UV blocker, K962804 ● submitted by Vistakon USA
  • . ACUVUE (etafilcon A) contact lens, clear and visibility tint with UV blocker, K991134 submitted by Vistakon USA
  • . Aquamax (etafilcon A) Disposable Soft (Hydrophilic) Contact Lenses, K120028 submitted by Pegavision Corporation, Taiwan
  • . NaturalVue (etafilcon A) Daily Disposable Soft (Hydrophilic) Contact Lenses, K140025 submitted by Pegavision Corporation, Taiwan
  • NaturalVue (etafilcon A) Daily Disposable Soft (Hydrophilic) Contact Lenses, K150385 ● submitted by Visioneering Technologies, Inc.

NaturalVue (etafilcon A) Daily Disposable Soft (Hydrophilic) Contact Lenses from the previous FDA cleared K150385 did not require clinical studies as the USAN name and manufacturing processes are the same as the above-mentioned predicate (and reference) devices.

Non-Clinical Study

All tests were conducted in accordance with the May 1994 FDA Guidance Document for Daily Wear Contact Lenses.

The non-clinical performance tests have been performed to demonstrate the safety and effectiveness of NaturalVue (etafilcon A) Daily Disposable Soft (Hydrophilic) Contact Lenses and establish substantial equivalence to the predicate NaturalVue (etafilcon A) Daily Disposable Soft (Hydrophilic) Contact Lenses (K150385). The evidence of substantial equivalence to the predicate lenses is described below.

a) Material Properties Testing

The material properties of NaturalVue (etafilcon A) Soft (Hydrophilic) Contact Lenses were tested as illustrated in the following table.

b) Biocompatibility

The standard cytotoxicity, maximization, and ocular irritation tests were carried out for the predicate K150385 NaturalVue (etafilcon A) Daily Disposable Soft (Hydrophilic) Contact Lenses, and therefore apply to NaturalVue (etafilcon A) Daily Disposable Soft (Hydrophilic) Contact Lenses. Negative responses were recorded for all tests. The validity of blister packaging for these lenses was demonstrated by passing the standard extraction tests.

c) Microbiology

The steam sterilization process has been validated to deliver a minimum SAL of 10°, thereby complying with the requirement of FDA Group 4. There is shelf-life stability supporting that these lenses remain sterile through the expiration date claimed for the product.

d) Bacteriostatic Validation

The steam sterilizer was tested for effectiveness by measuring and demonstrating the uniformity of temperature at different locations inside the sterilizer over test period. Tested microorganisms were killed under tested conditions as compared to control.

Lenses remained sterilized and there was no microbial growth for a period of 5 years tested under accelerated conditions. Seal of lens packages remained tight for a period of 5 years as demonstrated by the constant peeling strength tested under accelerated conditions.

e) Leachability

Studies were conducted to determine the leachable materials from the finished lenses. The results show that, at the levels of the detection reported, there are no leachable monomers and additive residues.

CONCLUSION:

Based on the performance and manufacturing verification studies, it can be concluded that the NaturalVue (etafilcon A) Daily Disposable Soft (Hydrophilic) Contact Lenses are equivalent to the predicate device K150385 NaturalVue (etafilcon A) Daily Disposable Soft (Hydrophilic) Contact Lenses with respect to intended use, principles of operation, and technological characteristics, with the addition of modified saline solution as cleared in K161739.
