AI/ML Overview

This looks like a 510(k) summary for a contact lens, not a software device that would typically have the kind of acceptance criteria and study details you're asking about (e.g., AI performance metrics, expert consensus, MRMC studies, ground truth establishment methods for training sets).

The document details the Lucens 41 (senofilcon C) Silicone Hydrogel Soft (Hydrophilic) Contact Lens and its substantial equivalence to a predicate device (ACUVUE (senofilcon C) Soft Contact Lens).

Therefore, answering your request using this document for the specified criteria (e.g., "effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance") is not possible because this is not an AI/software device.

However, I can extract the closest analogous information from this document regarding its "acceptance criteria" through performance testing and the "study" (non-clinical performance testing and substantial equivalence argument) used to prove it meets them.

Here's a breakdown of the available information, addressing what can be, and explaining why other points cannot be, derived from this specific document:


Acceptance Criteria and Device Performance (Analogous for a Contact Lens)

For a contact lens, "acceptance criteria" are typically related to its physical, chemical, and biological properties, and meeting the performance characteristics of a legally marketed predicate device. "Device performance" would be the results from their testing.

Acceptance Criteria (Analogous)Reported Device Performance (Lucens 41)
Biocompatibility/Toxicology:In-Vitro Cytotoxicity: Packaging solution, and extracts from finished lenses and packaging materials are not cytotoxic. Systemic Toxicity: Finished lenses and packaging materials meet the requirements of the systemic injection test and do not produce acute systemic toxicity. Acute Ocular Irritation: Packaging solution and extracts from finished lenses and packaging materials produced no ocular irritation.
Shelf Life: Stability, sterility, and package integrity over duration of labeled expiration.Data presented supports establishment of the proposed shelf life. This implies the device met the criteria for stability, sterility, and integrity over time.
Physicochemical and Mechanical Properties: Refractive index, water content, Dk, % transmission (visible & UV), tensile strength, modulus, % elongation to break, specific gravity, quantification of polymerization residuals.Results of physicochemical and mechanical property testing demonstrate consistent material properties between the Lucens 41 and the predicate device. Specific values are listed in Section IV (e.g., Water Content: 41% ±2%, Oxygen Permeability: 103, UV Blocker: >95% UVB, >50% UVA, Visible Light Transmittance: >89%, Refractive Index: 1.420). These also act as implicit acceptance criteria, with the reported values falling within the listed tolerances.
Substantial Equivalence to Predicate Device:Claimed to be substantially equivalent in: FDA category (Group V), FDA classification, Product codes, USAN Material (senofilcon C), Intended use (daily wear), Actions, Indications for use, Lens design configurations, Benzotriazole UV absorbing monomer, Cast molded production method, Injection molded polypropylene blister packaging. The comparative matrix in Section VI explicitly shows that the Lucens 41 matches the predicate device (ACUVUE Soft Contact Lens, K160212) across these critical parameters.

Study Details (Analogous for a Contact Lens)

  1. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance:

    • The document primarily relies on non-clinical performance testing (toxicology, shelf life, bench tests). It does not specify "sample sizes" in the context of patient data or test sets like AI studies would.
    • Data Provenance: The studies were conducted in accordance with GLP (Good Laboratory Practice) regulations, implying a controlled laboratory environment, rather than clinical patient data from a specific country. This is retrospective/bench data for device characterization, not patient data.
  2. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts:

    • This concept is not applicable here. Ground truth, in the context of a medical device like a contact lens, relates to established scientific methods and standards for material properties, biocompatibility, and physical dimensions. There are no "experts" establishing ground truth in the way a radiologist might for an image-based diagnosis. The "ground truth" is determined by validated laboratory test methods and established international standards (e.g., ISO, FDA guidance).
  3. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set:

    • This is not applicable for non-clinical performance testing of a contact lens. Adjudication methods are used in clinical studies, particularly in AI or diagnostic settings where human interpretation differences need to be resolved.
  4. If a multi reader multi case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done, If so, what was the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance:

    • No. This is a contact lens. There are no human "readers" or AI assistance involved in evaluating its performance in this context.
    • The study focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device through non-clinical performance data.
  5. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done:

    • Not applicable. This is not a software algorithm.
  6. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.):

    • For this device, the "ground truth" is based on:
      • Standardized physicochemical measurements: (e.g., refractive index, water content, oxygen permeability) conducted in a laboratory setting using validated equipment and methods.
      • Biological safety standards: (e.g., ISO 10993 for biocompatibility/toxicology) which define acceptable limits for cytotoxicity, systemic toxicity, and ocular irritation.
      • Product specifications and tolerances: (e.g., sphere power, diameter, base curve) that must be met during manufacturing.
  7. The sample size for the training set:

    • Not applicable. This is not a machine learning/AI device, so there is no "training set."
  8. How the ground truth for the training set was established:

    • Not applicable. As there is no training set, there is no ground truth established for it in this context.
