The summary describes a standard soft contact lens made of polymacon with various tints. There is no mention of any computational analysis, image processing, or algorithms that would suggest the use of AI or ML. The performance studies focus on material properties, sterility, and biocompatibility, not algorithmic performance.
No
The device is indicated for the correction of refractive ametropia (myopia or hyperopia), which is a corrective function rather than a therapeutic one. The device description also focuses on its physical properties as a contact lens, not on treating disease.
No
Explanation: The device is a contact lens intended for correcting refractive ametropia. It does not perform any diagnostic function.
No
The device is a physical contact lens made of polymacon material, not software. The description details its physical properties, manufacturing process, and packaging.
Based on the provided text, the ADORE (polymacon) Spherical Soft Contact Lenses are not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is for the correction of refractive ametropia (myopia or hyperopia) and to enhance or alter the apparent color of the eye. This is a direct interaction with the body for a therapeutic or cosmetic purpose, not for examining specimens from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
- Device Description: The description details the physical properties and materials of a contact lens designed to be worn on the eye. It does not describe a device used to analyze biological samples.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological specimens (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), detecting analytes, or providing diagnostic information.
Therefore, the ADORE contact lenses fall under the category of medical devices, but not specifically In Vitro Diagnostic devices.
N/A

Device Description
The ADORE soft contact lenses are hemispherical shells with molded spherical base curves and molded front surfaces. The ADORE soft contact lenses are fabricated from polymacon, which has been adopted by the United States Adopted Names Council (USAN). The hydrophilic nature of this material allows the lens to become soft and pliable when immersed in an aqueous solution.
The nonionic lens material, (polymacon) is a hydrophilic polymer of 2-Hydroxyethyl methacrylate (2-HEMA) and cross-linked with ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (EGDMA), plus an initiator. The co-polymer consists of 62% polymacon and 38% water by weight when immersed in saline solution.
ADORE lenses are available clear, tinted for visibility/handling, and tinted to enhance or alter the apparent color of the eye. Tinted or color lens designs may be distributed under unique or "private label" trade names. ADORE lenses are available in gray, green, yellow, hazel, blue, white or black which are tinted with one or a combination of one or more of the following 'listed' color additives:
D&C Yellow 10
Titanium Dioxide
Iron Oxide (Red)
D&C Green No. 6
Reactive Blue 19
C.I. Reactive Black 5
Lenses that contain a unique tinting pattern are subsequently processed to incorporate the 'listed' color additives, and contain only the amount of color additive needed to accomplish the intended coloring effect. When producing the tinted or color lenses, the manufacturing process alters and/or changes the specifications to the clear version of a contact lens by entrapment of the listed color additives in the center of the contact lens (surrounded by layers of contact lens material) in a location that corresponds to the iris. The color additives used are not removed by lens handling and cleaning/disinfecting procedures. Except for affecting the amount of light transmittance through the lens, the coloring process does not alter the original characteristics of the pre-tinted lens. The color lens tinting pattern has a minimum Clear Pupil diameter of 6.0 mm.
In the hydrated state, the lens conforms to the curvature of the eye covering the cornea and extending slightly beyond the limbus forming a transparent or colored optical surface. The (polymacon) soft hydrophilic contact lens has a spherical 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; however, it will return to its proper configuration when completely rehydrated in the proper storage solution.
The physical properties of the lens are:
Refractive Index: 1.435
Light Transmission (clear): greater than 98%
Light Transmission (tinted/color): greater than 98% (at clear region corresponding to pupil, minimum 6.0 mm diameter); Opaque or 0-10% (at tinted region corresponding to iris)
Surface Character: hydrophilic
Water Content: 38±2%
Specific Gravity: 1.17 (hydrated)
Oxygen Permeability: 11.15x10-11 (cm²/sec)(ml O₂)(ml x mm Hg @ 35°C) (revised Fatt method)
The hydrophilic characteristics allow aqueous solution to enter the lens, and in its fully hydrated state the lens is approximately 38% water by weight. ADORE (polymacon) Spherical Soft Contact lenses are available in the spherical configuration with the following features and properties:
Chord Diameter: 14.00 mm
Center Thickness: 0.08 mm (to – 3.00D)
Base Curve: 8.6 mm
Power Range: From D. 0.00 to D. -16.00 (from D. -5.00 a D. -16.00 with 0.50 steps) From D. +0.25 to D. +10.00 (from D. +5.00 to D. +10.00 with 0.50 steps)
Colors available: Grey, Hazel, Yellow, Blue, White, Green
ADORE lenses are supplied sterile in saline solution containing blister packages with a base made from polypropylene and a laminated foil seal on top. Blister package labeling is printed with the 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.

Several laboratories under Good Laboratory Practice regulations conducted toxicology studies, microbiology, chemistry, shelf-life stability studies 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 ADORE, (polymacon) Soft Contact Lenses for Daily Wear is as safe and effective as the predicate device when used in accordance with the labeled directions for use and for the requested indication.
Risks and Benefits
The risks of the subject device are the same as those normally attributed to the wearing of daily wear soft contact lenses. The benefits to the patient are the same as those for other daily wear soft contact lenses.
SUBSTANTIAL EQUIVALENCE
The ADORE Soft Contact Lens will be manufactured according to specified process controls and a cGMP quality assurance program currently in place. The established safety profile (pre-clinical toxicology and manufacturing/chemistry data) of the ADORE contact lens material is equivalent to the predicate devices identified previously. Being similar with respect to indications for use, materials, physical construction and safety & effectiveness to the predicate devices, this meets the requirements per section 510(k) of the act regarding substantial equivalence and does not raise different questions of safety and effectiveness than the predicate device identified above.
The following matrix illustrates the equivalencies of the ADORE Soft (hydrophilic) Contact Lens, as well as the substantial equivalent predicate devices.
