Not Found

No
The summary describes standard non-prescription sunglasses and explicitly states "Not Found" for mentions of AI, DNN, or ML.

No
The device, nonprescription sunglasses, is intended to protect the eyes from bright sunlight, which is a protective function rather than a therapeutic one aiming to treat or alleviate a medical condition.

No
Explanation: The intended use of sunglasses is to protect the eyes from bright sunlight, not to diagnose any medical condition.

No

The device description explicitly states it consists of spectacle frames or clips and lenses, which are physical hardware components.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the device is for protecting the eyes from bright sunlight. This is a physical protection function, not a diagnostic one.
  • Device Description: The description reinforces the physical nature of the device (frames, lenses) and its purpose of protection.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Elements: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), detecting diseases, or providing diagnostic information. IVDs are specifically designed for these purposes.

Therefore, sunglasses (nonprescription) as described are considered a medical device, but not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Dear Mr. Epstein:

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.
