AI/MLSaMDIVD (In Vitro Diagnostic)TherapeuticDiagnosticis PCCP Authorized
Intended Use
The BOSTON Contact Lens Case is indicated for disinfection and storage of rigid gas permeable contact lenses.
Device Description
The BOSTON® Contact Lens Case is plastic and double-welled with ridged screw caps on the wells. The interiors of the wells and caps contain elevated ridges to prevent the adherence of rigid gas permeable contact lenses to the surfaces.
More Information

No
The device description and intended use are for a simple plastic contact lens case, with no mention of any computational or analytical capabilities that would suggest AI/ML.

No

The device is a contact lens case used for disinfection and storage of lenses, which is a utility device, not a therapeutic device meant to treat or cure a medical condition.

No
The device is indicated for disinfection and storage of contact lenses, which are functions related to maintenance rather than diagnosis of a condition.

No

The device description clearly states it is a plastic contact lens case, which is a physical hardware device, 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 for the "disinfection and storage of rigid gas permeable contact lenses." This is a physical process applied to a medical device (contact lenses), not a diagnostic test performed on a biological sample to provide information about a patient's health.
  • Device Description: The description details a plastic case with features for holding and preventing adherence of contact lenses. This is a container/storage device, not a diagnostic instrument or reagent.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The document does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
    • Analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
    • Detecting or measuring substances in biological samples
    • Providing information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening of diseases or conditions

The performance studies mentioned (Systemic Injection Test, Eye Irritation Test, Cytotoxicity Test) are related to the biocompatibility and safety of the material the case is made from, which is relevant for a device that comes into contact with contact lenses that are placed in the eye, but not indicative of an IVD function.

§ 886.5928 Soft (hydrophilic) contact lens care products.

(a)
Identification. A soft (hydrophilic) contact lens care product is a device intended for use in the cleaning, rinsing, disinfecting, lubricating/rewetting, or storing of a soft (hydrophilic) contact lens. This includes all solutions and tablets used together with soft (hydrophilic) contact lenses and heat disinfecting units intended to disinfect a soft (hydrophilic) contact lens by means of heat.(b)
