Intended Use
The Unicon Hydrogel (etafilcon A) Soft (Hydrophilic) Daily Disposable Contact Lens is indicated for the optical correction of refractive ametropia (myopia and hyperopia) in phakic or aphakic persons with non-diseased eyes who may have 1.00 D or less of astigmatism. Eye care professionals may prescribe the lenses for daily disposable wear. Lenses shall be discarded upon removal.
Device Description
The Unicon Hydrogel (etafilcon A) Soft (Hydrophilic) Daily Disposable Contact Lens is available as aspherical lenses manufactured by cast-molding method. The model illuminated with high water content (58 %). The hydrogel lens' material is a random copolymer composed of 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) and methacrylic acid (MAA), which was cross-linked with Trimethylolpropane trimethacrylate (TMPTMA) and Ethylene Glycol Dimethacrylate (EGDMA) via UV photo-polymerization. The Unicon Hydrogel (etafilcon A) Soft (Hydrophilic) Daily Disposable Contact Lens with visible tint is light tinted blue using C.I Reactive Blue 246 to make the lens more visible for handling. The lenses also contain a UV absorber {2-[3-(2H-Benzotriazol-2-vl)-4-hydroxypheny]] ethyl methacrylate} which is included during the manufacturing process as an additive to block UV radiation. The average transmittance characteristics are less than 5% in the UVB range of 280 to 315 nm and less than 30% in the UVA range of 316 to 380 nm. With more specific explanation, the "Unicon Hydrogel (etafilcon A) Soft (Hydrophilic) Daily Disposable Contact Lens" is 58% water and 42% HEMA/MAA cast-molding aspherical soft contact lens. It is blister packaged and produced from +4.00D to -6.00D in 0.25D per step, from +4.50D to +6.00D in 0.50D per step, and from -6.50D to -13.00D in 0.50D per step.
More Information

Not Found

No
The description focuses on the material composition, manufacturing process, and optical properties of a contact lens. There is no mention of AI or ML technology being used in the device itself or its function.

No
The device is indicated for the optical correction of refractive ametropia (myopia and hyperopia), which is a corrective function, not a therapeutic one.

No

The device is a contact lens indicated for optical correction of refractive ametropia (myopia and hyperopia), which is a treatment, not a diagnostic purpose.

No

The device description clearly details a physical contact lens made of hydrogel material, not software.

No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for the "optical correction of refractive ametropia (myopia and hyperopia)". This is a physical correction of vision, not a diagnostic test performed on samples taken from the body.
  • Device Description: The description details the physical properties and materials of a contact lens, which is a medical device used for vision correction. It does not describe a test kit, reagent, or instrument used to analyze biological samples.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
    • Analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
    • Detecting or measuring specific substances (analytes)
    • Providing information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening of diseases or conditions.

This device is clearly a medical device intended for vision correction, not an in vitro diagnostic device.
