The device description and performance studies focus on the chemical composition and clinical efficacy of a contact lens solution, with no mention of AI or ML technologies.
No.
The device is indicated to lubricate and rewet contact lenses, relieve dryness, discomfort, and irritation associated with lens wear, and cushion lenses; it does not treat a disease or condition.
No
Explanation: The product is a lubricating and rewetting solution for contact lenses. Its intended use is to relieve dryness, discomfort, and irritation, and to cushion lenses, not to diagnose a condition.
No
The device description clearly states it is a sterile, buffered, isotonic, preserved solution supplied in a multi-dose bottle, indicating it is a liquid formulation and physical container, not software.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is to lubricate and rewet contact lenses and the eye during contact lens wear. This is a direct application to the body (or a device worn on the body) for comfort and relief, not for testing a sample taken from the body to diagnose a condition.
- Device Description: The device is a sterile solution applied topically. It does not involve any reagents or processes for analyzing biological samples.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
- Analyzing a sample (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
- Detecting or measuring substances in a sample
- Providing information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening of a disease or condition.
This device falls under the category of a medical device intended for topical application to the eye and contact lenses for comfort and lubrication.

Summary of Performance Studies
Allergan performed stability, biocompatibility and performance testing (bench, nonclinical, and clinical studies with this formulation to support the claim of substantial equivalence).
Stability: The product demonstrated chemical and physical stability to support a 24-month shelf-life. Microbiology testing demonstrated the product's ability to maintain sterility and preservative effectiveness throughout the shelf-life.
Biocompatibility: In-vitro and in-vivo studies were performed to assess the safety and effectiveness of REFRESH® RELIEVA™ FOR CONTACTS. The tests were designed in accordance to FDA's Guidance for Industry - Premarket Notification [510(k)] Guidance Document for Contact Lens Care Products dated 1 May 1997. The results of these studies indicate that the physical, chemical and microbiological properties of REFRESH® RELIEVA™ FOR CONTACTS are substantially equivalent to the predicate devices REFRESH CONTACTS and REFRESH OPTIVE CONTACTS.
Clinical Studies: A 3-month clinical study was conducted to evaluate the safety and efficacy of REFRESH® RELIEVA™ FOR CONTACTS to the marketed contact lens comfort drop, REFRESH CONTACTS® in contact lens wearers. The objective of this study was to provide evidence to support the claim that the performance of REFRESH® RELIEVA™ FOR CONTACTS is substantially equivalent to REFRESH CONTACTS for lubricating and rewetting during lens wear, and cushioning upon lens insertion. Results of the clinical study demonstrated substantial equivalence to REFRESH CONTACTS®.

Dear Ms. Huang:
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database located at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal
1
statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); medical device reporting (reporting of medical device-related adverse events)
(21 CFR 803) for devices or postmarketing safety reporting (21 CFR 4, Subpart B) for combination products (see https://www.fda.gov/combination-products/guidance-regulatory-information/postmarketing-safetyreporting-combination-products); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820) for devices or current good manufacturing practices (21 CFR 4, Subpart A) for combination products; and, if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.
Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21 CFR Part 807.97). For questions regarding the reporting of adverse events under the MDR regulation (21 CFR Part 803), please go to https://www.fda.gov/medical-devices/medical-device-safety/medical-devicereporting-mdr-how-report-medical-device-problems.

Allergan performed stability, biocompatibility and performance testing (bench, nonclinical, and clinical studies with this formulation to support the claim of substantial equivalence). A summary of the testing and studies is provided below.
Stability
The product demonstrated chemical and physical stability to support a 24-month shelf-life. Microbiology testing demonstrated the product's ability to maintain sterility and preservative effectiveness throughout the shelf-life.
Biocompatibility
In-vitro and in-vivo studies were performed to assess the safety and effectiveness of REFRESH® RELIEVA™ FOR CONTACTS. The tests were designed in accordance to FDA's Guidance for Industry - Premarket Notification [510(k)] Guidance Document for Contact Lens Care Products dated 1 May 1997. The results of these studies indicate that the physical, chemical and microbiological properties of REFRESH® RELIEVA™ FOR CONTACTS are substantially equivalent to the predicate devices REFRESH CONTACTS and REFRESH OPTIVE CONTACTS.
Clinical Studies
A 3-month clinical study was conducted to evaluate the safety and efficacy of REFRESH® RELIEVA™ FOR CONTACTS to the marketed contact lens comfort drop, REFRESH CONTACTS® in contact lens wearers. The objective of this study was to provide evidence to support the claim that the performance of REFRESH® RELIEVA™ FOR CONTACTS is substantially equivalent to REFRESH CONTACTS for lubricating and rewetting during lens wear, and cushioning upon lens insertion. Results of the clinical study demonstrated substantial equivalence to REFRESH CONTACTS®.
Conclusion
Based on the stability, biocompatibility and performance testing (bench, nonclinical, and clinical studies) summarized above, the safety and effectiveness profile for REFRESH® RELIEVA™ FOR CONTACTS was substantially equivalent to the predicate devices for the same intended use.
