Intended Use
The CONTEX OK™ (siflufocon A) Rigid Gas Permeable Contact Lens for Orthokeratology is indicated for use in the reduction of myopic refractive error in non-diseased eyes. The lens is indicated for daily wear in an orthokeratology fitting program for the temporary reduction of myopia of up to 3.00 diopters. The lens may be disinfected using a chemical disinfection system only. Note: To maintain the orthokeratology effect of myopia reduction lens wear must be continued on a prescribed wearing schedule.
Device Description
The CONTEX OK™ (orthokeratology) contact lens is a rigid gas permeable contact lens in a reverse geometry design. The lens material siflufocon A, is a fluoro silicone acrylate polymer which contains D & C Green #6 as a color additive.

Flattening the cornea reduces the focusing power of the eye, and if the amount of corneal flattening is properly controlled, it is possible to bring the eye into correct focus and compensate for myopia. Contact lenses rest directly on the corneal tear layer and can influence the corneal shape. After the contact lens is removed, the cornea retains its altered shape for part or all of the remainder of the day. A retainer lens must be used each day to maintain the corneal flattening, or the myopia will revert back to the pre-treatment level.
More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes a physical contact lens and its clinical performance. There is no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate the use of AI/ML.

Yes
The device is indicated for "reduction of myopic refractive error" and "temporary reduction of myopia," which are therapeutic effects addressing a medical condition (myopia).

No

The device is a contact lens used to correct myopia by altering the shape of the cornea, not to diagnose a condition.

No

The device description clearly describes a physical contact lens made of a specific material with defined dimensions and physical properties. It is a hardware device.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to reduce myopic refractive error by changing the shape of the cornea. This is a direct interaction with the patient's body to correct vision, not a test performed on a sample taken from the body.
  • Device Description: The device is a contact lens, which is a physical object placed on the eye. It does not involve any reagents, assays, or analysis of biological samples.
  • Mechanism of Action: The mechanism of action is the physical reshaping of the cornea, not the detection or measurement of substances in a biological sample.
  • Clinical Studies: The clinical studies focus on the effect of the lens on visual acuity, refractive error, and corneal shape, which are all related to the physical interaction of the device with the eye.

IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. This device does not fit that description.

§ 886.5916 Rigid gas permeable contact lens.

(a)
Identification. A rigid gas permeable contact lens is a device intended to be worn directly against the cornea of the eye to correct vision conditions. The device is made of various materials, such as cellulose acetate butyrate, polyacrylate-silicone, or silicone elastomers, whose main polymer molecules generally do not absorb or attract 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.
