Device Description

The Aquamax (Etafilcon A) Daily Disposable Soft (Hydrophilic) Contact Lenses and Aquamax (Etafilcon A) Soft (Hydrophilic) Contact Lenses are clear, visibility-tinted, UV absorber-containing and are available in spherical, aspherical, toric and multifocal designs. It is an ionic hydrogel lens derived from Etafilcon A material which is a co-polymer of 2-Hydroxyethyl Methacrylate (HEMA) and Methacrylic Acid (MAA), cross-linked with Ethylene Glycol Dimethacrylate (EGDMA) and 1,1,1-Trimethylolpropane Trimethacrylate (TMPTMA) and made by photo-polymerization. The lens consists of 42% Etafilcon A and 58% water by weight when immersed in buffered saline solution. The lens polymer further contains benzotriazole, a UV absorbing monomer, thus is able to block the UV radiation to the ocular. . The average transmittance characteristics of theses lenses are less than 5% in the UVB range of 280-315 nm and less than 50% in the UVA range of 315-380mm. The lens is visibly tined with "Reactive Blue19" color additive, 21 CFR section 73.3121. Lenses are supplied sterile in the sealed blister package containing sterile isotonic borate buffered saline solution with Tween 80, Sodium Hyaluronate, Polyethylene Glycol, and Cyanocobalamin as a color indicator to induce the package solution as pink color.

AI/ML Overview

The provided document is a 510(k) premarket notification for Aquamax (Etafilcon A) contact lenses. It does not describe a study that involves an AI/ML device, nor does it contain information about acceptance criteria and reported device performance in the context of an AI/ML device.

The document discusses the substantial equivalence of the Aquamax contact lenses to previously cleared predicate devices based on non-clinical studies (physicochemical properties, biocompatibility, packaging solution, plastic container, extractable, shelf life, and sterility tests) and the fact that Etafilcon A lenses have been widely used and their safety/effectiveness well documented.

Therefore, I cannot extract the requested information about acceptance criteria and a study proving device performance for an AI/ML device from this document. The questions provided are specifically tailored for AI/ML device evaluations.

Dear Estela Lin:

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.

{1}------------------------------------------------

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 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 (OS) 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 titled "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21 CFR Part 807.97).

Therefore, Aquamax (Etafilcon A) Daily Disposable Soft (Hydrophilic) Contact Lenses and Aquamax (Etafilcon A) Soft (Hydrophilic) Contact Lenses are substantially equivalent to the predicate devices - Pegavision (Etafilcon A) Color Soft (Hydrophilic) Contact Lenses, Pegavision (Etafilcon A) Color Daily Disposable Soft (Hydrophilic) Contact Lenses (K200296).

§ 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.
