No
The summary provides no indication of AI/ML technology; it describes sunglasses.

No
The device is intended to protect eyes from bright sunlight, which is a protective function, not a therapeutic one (treatment or mitigation of disease).

No
The device is described as protecting the eyes from bright sunlight, which is a protective function, not a diagnostic one. It does not mention any ability to identify or characterize diseases or conditions.

No

The provided text describes a device intended to be worn on the eyes for protection from sunlight, which strongly suggests a physical, hardware-based device (like sunglasses). There is no mention of software as the primary or sole component.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to "protect the eyes from bright sunlight". This is a physical protection function, not a diagnostic one.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Activity: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue, etc.) to provide information for the diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment of a disease or condition.
  • No Mention of IVD Characteristics: The description lacks any elements typically associated with IVDs, such as analyzing biological samples, detecting biomarkers, or providing diagnostic results.

Therefore, this device, which appears to be sunglasses or a similar protective eyewear, falls outside the scope of In Vitro Diagnostics.

Dear Mr. Lai:

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, Olisting of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.

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.
