No
The summary describes standard contact lens technology and manufacturing processes, with no mention of AI or ML for design, fitting, or performance optimization.
No
The device is indicated for the correction of refractive ametropia (myopia and hyperopia) and presbyopia, which are vision corrections, not treatments for diseases or injuries.
No
Explanation: The document clearly states that the device is a contact lens intended for 'correction of refractive ametropia' and 'presbyopia', not for diagnosing medical conditions.
No
The device description clearly states it is a physical contact lens made from a specific material (efrofilcon A) and includes details about its physical properties and manufacturing. 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 tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
- Device Function: The description clearly states that the Apioc contact lenses are designed for the correction of refractive ametropia (vision problems like myopia and hyperopia) and presbyopia. They are worn on the eye to improve vision.
- Lack of Diagnostic Purpose: The intended use and device description focus entirely on correcting vision, not on diagnosing any disease or condition through analysis of biological samples.
The device is a medical device, specifically a contact lens, but it does not fit the definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic.

Device Description
The Apioc , Apioc P, Apioc A, and Apioc AP (efrofilcon A) Soft (hydrophilic) Silicone Hydrogel Contact Lenses are designed with a lenticular zone for attachment to the upper eyelid. The contact lenses are fabricated from (efrofilcon A), which in the dry (unhydrated) state may be machined and polished. The hydrophilic nature of this material allows the lens to become soft and pliable when immersed in an aqueous solution.
The non-ionic lens material, (efrofilcon A) is composed of silicone monomers cross linked with other monomers and optionally incorporates D&C Green 6 as an integrated handling tint. The material consists of 26% efrofilcon A and 74% water by weight when immersed in a buffered saline solution. The (efrofilcon A) name has been adopted by the United States Adopted Names Council (USAN).
In the Apioc, Apioc P, Apioc A, and Apioc AP Contact Lens with UV Blocker and center thickness of 0.18mm. a Benzophenone UV absorbing monomer is used to block UV radiation. The UV blocking for lenses averages > 98% in the UVB range of 280nm - 315nm and >70% in the UVA range of 316 -380nm.
The Apioc, Apioc P, Apioc A, and Apioc AP (efrofilcon A) Soft (hydrophilic) Silicone Hydrogel Contact Lenses will be manufactured in the sphere, aspheric, toric, multifocal, and multifocal toric design configurations. The material properties and available parameters of the finished lenses are as follows:

§ 886.5925 Soft (hydrophilic) contact lens.
(a)
Identification. A soft (hydrophilic) contact lens is a device intended to be worn directly against the cornea and adjacent limbal and scleral areas of the eye to correct vision conditions or act as a therapeutic bandage. The device is made of various polymer materials the main polymer molecules of which absorb or attract a certain volume (percentage) of water.(b)
Classification. (1) Class II if the device is intended for daily wear only.(2) Class III if the device is intended for extended wear.
(c)
Date PMA or notice of completion of a PDP is required. As of May 28, 1976, an approval under section 515 of the act is required before a device described in paragraph (b)(2) of this section may be commercially distributed. See § 886.3.

VII. PERFORMANCE DATA
The following performance data were provided in support of the substantial equivalence determination.
Non-clinical Testing
Non-clinical testing for finished contact lenses manufactured from efrofilcon A blanks has been demonstrated previously. Additional non-clinical testing was conducted to support the claim that the Apioc, Apioc P, Apioc A, and Apioc AP (efrofilcon A) Soft (hydrophilic) Silicone Hydrogel Contact Lenses are substantially equivalent to the currently marketed predicate devices. A summary of the results from the non-clinical studies is presented below.
Stability:
Testing was performed to demonstrate the stability of the parameters and features of the Apioc. Apioc P. Apioc A, and Apioc AP (efrofilcon A) finished contact lenses over the proposed shelf life. The data presented supports substantial equivalence of the Apioc . Apioc A, and Apioc AP (efrofilcon A) finished contact lenses to the predicate device.
Lens Design/Manufacturing Verification:
Bench testing was performed to verify the ability of Lentechs. Inc. to manufacture the Apioc P. Apioc A, and Apioc AP (efrofilcon A) finished contact lenses to a variety of prescribed parameters within manufacturing tolerances.
Clinical Testing
Clinical testing is not required. The clinical performance of soft (hydrophilic) contact lenses manufactured from efrofilcon A materials has been demonstrated previously.

VIII. CONCLUSIONS
Validity of Scientific Data
Laboratories under Good Laboratory Practice regulations conducted toxicology, microbiology, and shelf-life stability studies following 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 Apioc , Apioc A, and Apioc AP (efrofilcon A) Soft (hydrophilic) Silicone Hydrogel Contact Lenses are as safe and effective as the predicate device when used in accordance with the labeled directions for use and for the proposed indication.
Risks and Benefits
The risks of the subject device are the same as those normally attributed to the wearing of soft (hydrophilic) daily wear contact lenses. The benefits to the patient are the same as those for other soft (hydrophilic) daily wear contact lenses.
