Device Description
The Bausch + Lomb Samfilcon B Contact Lens is made from a silicone hydrogel material and is approximately 41% water by weight when immersed in a sterile phosphate buffered saline solution. This lens is tinted blue with Reactive Blue Dye 246. The color additive conforms with 21 CFR Part 73.3106. The Bausch + Lomb Samfilcon B Contact Lens is to be prescribed for daily wear. The custom-made lenses will be manufactured in spherical, toric, multifocal and toric multifocal designs with the following parameters: Diameter: 10.0 mm to 16.0 mm Base Curve: 6.5 mm to 9.7 mm Power Range: +20.00D to -20.00D Cylinder Power (Toric): 0D to -10.00D Cylinder Axis: 1° to 180° Add Power (Multifocal): +0.50D up to +4.00D The lenses are packaged in borosilicate USP Type 1 glass vials containing phosphate buffered saline solution. A silicone vial stopper and aluminum crimp cap secure the lenses in the vial. Vials are labeled with lot number, expiration date and applicable lens parameters. Expiration dating is supported by product stability, package integrity, and validation of the sterilization process.

No
The document describes a physical contact lens and its material properties, intended use, and clinical study results. There is no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would suggest the use of AI or ML.

No.
The contact lens is indicated for the "correction of refractive ametropia" and "presbyopia," which are conditions related to vision correction, not the treatment or prevention of a disease.

No

Explanation: The device is a contact lens intended for correcting refractive ametropia (myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism, presbyopia). Its purpose is to correct vision, not to diagnose a medical condition.

No

The device description clearly states it is a physical contact lens made from a silicone hydrogel material, 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 medical devices used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body (like blood, urine, or tissue) to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
  • Device Description and Intended Use: The description and intended use clearly state that this device is a contact lens designed to be worn on the eye for the correction of refractive errors (myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism, presbyopia). It is a physical device applied to the body, not a test performed on a sample taken from the body.

Therefore, the Bausch + Lomb Samfilcon B Contact Lens is a medical device, but it falls under a different category than In Vitro Diagnostics.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

Study type: active-controlled, randomized, double-masked, multicenter, clinical study
Sample size: Enrolment: 84 (56 Investigational Device, 28 Control Device); Treatment: 67 (46 Investigational Device, 21 Control Device); Primary Safety Endpoint Analysis: 84 (56 Investigational Device, 28 Control Device); Primary Effectiveness Endpoint Analysis: 67 (46 Investigational Device, 21 Control Device).
Key results: Both the primary safety and primary effectiveness endpoints of the study were met. The primary safety endpoint was statistical non-inferiority with respect to the proportion of eyes with slit lamp findings Grade >2 at any follow-up visit between the test and control lenses. And the primary effectiveness endpoint was statistical non-inferiority with respect to mean distance high-contrast logMAR lens visual acuity for each eye between the test and control lenses. These results demonstrate that the Samfilcon B Contact Lens is noninferior to the control lens with respect to the incidence of moderate/severe slit lamp findings and distance lens visual acuity. There were no reports of serious adverse events related to the test or control lens.

Dear Barbara Klube-Falso:

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 (the 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 available 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.

Additional information about changes that may require a new premarket notification are provided in the FDA guidance documents entitled "Deciding When to Submit a 510(k) for a Change to an Existing Device" (https://www.fda.gov/media/99812/download) and "Deciding When to Submit a 510(k) for a Software Change to an Existing Device" (https://www.fda.gov/media/99785/download).

  • . Physical, Chemical and Spectral Properties
  • . Leachable Monomer and Additives

Summary of Clinical Performance Data

Bausch + Lomb conducted an active-controlled, randomized, double-masked, multicenter, clinical study in the US, evaluating the safety and effectiveness of the Bausch + Lomb Samfilcon B Contact Lens. Subjects were adapted soft contact lens wearers between the ages of 18 and 40 years old.

Both the primary safety and primary effectiveness endpoints of the study were met. The primary safety endpoint was statistical non-inferiority with respect to the proportion of eyes with slit lamp findings Grade >2 at any follow-up visit between the test and control lenses. And the primary effectiveness endpoint was statistical non-inferiority with respect to mean distance highcontrast logMAR lens visual acuity for each eye between the test and control lenses. These

results demonstrate that the Samfilcon B Contact Lens is noninferior to the control lens with respect to the incidence of moderate/severe slit lamp findings and distance lens visual acuity.

There were no reports of serious adverse events related to the test or control lens.
