The 510(k) summary describes contact lenses, a physical medical device, and does not mention any software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate the use of AI or ML.
No
The device is indicated for the correction of visual acuity, which is a refractive error, not a disease or medical condition requiring therapy.
No
The product description indicates the device is a contact lens used for correcting visual acuity, not for diagnosing medical conditions.
No
The device description and intended use clearly describe physical contact lenses, which are hardware, not software.
Based on the provided information, 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, tissue) to provide information about a person's health.
- Device Function: The description clearly states that these are contact lenses intended for the "correction of visual acuity" in the eyes. They are worn on the surface of the eye.
- Lack of Diagnostic Testing: There is no mention of any testing performed on biological samples or any diagnostic purpose. The function is purely corrective for vision.
Therefore, these contact lenses fall under the category of medical devices, but not specifically In Vitro Diagnostic devices.

Intended Use / Indications for Use
The BENZ hefilcon A SPHERICAL Soft (Hydrophilic) Contact Lenses in clear or with a light blue or light green visibility tint are indicated in daily wear for the correction of visual acuity in aphakic and non-aphakic persons with non-diseased eyes. The spherical lenses are available from +20.00 to -20.00 Diopters and may be worn by patients who can accomodate up to 1.5 Diopters of astigmatism.
The BENZ hefilcon A TORIC Soft (Hydrophilic) Contact Lenses in clear or with a light blue or light green visibility tint are indicated in daily wear for the correction of visual acuity in aphakic and non-aphakic persons with non-diseased eyes. The Toric lenses are available from +20.00 to -20.00 Diopters and up to 4.50 Diopters of astigmatic correction where it does not interefere with visual acuity.
The BENZ hefilcon A Spherical and Toric Contact lenses may be disinfected using either the heat (thermal) or the chemical (nonheat) disinfection system.

§ 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.

Dear Mr. Sterling:
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) notification of intent to market the device referenced above and we have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to 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). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. 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.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (Premarket Approval), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 895. A substantially equivalent determination assumes compliance with the current Good Manufacturing Practice requirements, as set forth in the Quality System Regulation (QS) for Medical Devices: General regulation (21 CFR Part 820) and that, through periodic (QS) inspections, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will verify such assumptions. Failure to comply with the GMP regulation may result in regulatory action. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register. Please note: this response to your premarket notification submission does not affect any obligation you might have under sections 531 through 542 of the Act for devices under the Electronic Product Radiation Control provisions, or other Federal laws or regulations.
