No
The device description details a simple electro-mechanical device with a motor, control circuits, and a timer. There is no mention of any computational processing, learning, or adaptive capabilities that would indicate the presence of AI/ML. The performance studies focus on the physical effects of the cleaning process on the lenses and the biocompatibility of the materials, not on the performance of any intelligent algorithm.

No.
This device is an accessory for cleaning contact lenses, which are medical devices, but the cleaning accessory itself is not designed to diagnose, cure, mitigate, treat, or prevent disease.

No

The LENSERVER Automatic Contact Lens Cleaning Accessory is intended for cleaning contact lenses, not for diagnosing any medical condition or disease.

No

The device description explicitly states it is an "electro-mechanical contact lens cleaning device" with physical components like a motorized cleaning unit, battery compartment, motor, control circuits, and a fluid reservoir. This indicates it is a hardware device, not software-only.

Based on the provided text, the LENSERVER Automatic Contact Lens Cleaning Accessory is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to clean contact lenses using approved cleaning solutions. This is a physical cleaning 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 device is an electro-mechanical cleaner that vibrates the contact lenses in a cleaning solution. It does not involve any analysis of biological samples.
  • 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 diagnostic information about a disease or condition
    • Using reagents or assays for analysis

The device is clearly intended for the maintenance and cleaning of contact lenses, which are medical devices themselves, but the cleaning process itself is not a diagnostic procedure.

Description of device and reason for submission

The LENSERVER Automatic Contact Lens Cleaning Accessory is an electro-mechanical contact lens cleaning device designed to be used in conjunction with approved contact lens cleaning solutions. The cleaning components of the LENSERVER Automatic consist of a motorized cleaninq unit and a partitioned fluid reservoir functioning as the cleaning beaker.

The motorized unit is manufactured from a polymer and houses the battery compartment. motor and control circuits. The fluid reservoir or lens receptacle/cleaning beaker is partitioned and injection molded from medical grade polymer. Fill marks are engraved on the outer wall of the beaker indicating a fluid volume sufficient to completely submerge contact lenses. Each contact lens would be placed into the appropriate compartment. designated "L' or 'R'.

The base of the fluid reservoir or cleaning beaker fits snugly onto a vibrating platform on the motorized cleaning unit. When placed on the vibrating platform and the power button is actuated, the cleaning beaker vibrates, and after a predetermined period the timing mechanism halts rotation of the motor.

This Premarket Notification is submitted prior to our intent of introducing this device in the United States for the purposes of cleaning contact lenses in conjunction with approved contact lens cleaning solutions.

Intended use

The LENSERVER Automatic Contact Lens Cleaning Accessory is intended for use as an adjunct in cleaning both soft hydrophilic and rigid gas permeable contact lenses using approved contact lens cleaning solutions.

Demonstration of substantial equivalence

The LENSERVER Automatic is preceded by seven approved devices for contact lens cleaning as listed under 'Identification of predicate devices' for use in conjunction with approved solutions. The LENSERVER Automatic is also indicated for use as an accessory for cleaning contact lenses with approved lens solutions. Three of these devices use mechanical or electro-mechanical means of generating hydrodynamic

2

turbulence that assist in cleaning and the other four listed predicate devices effect tansaling by piezoelectric-induced cavitation. Lens cleaning in the LENSERVER Automatic is also assisted by electro-mechanical agitation of the lenses in cleaning solutions.

Predicate devices contain a fluid reservoir in which lenses and a defined volume of lens solution are placed during cleaning cycles. The LENSERVER Automatic also uses a reservoir in which lenses and defined volumes of solution are in contact during the cleaning cycles. During cleaning in all predicate devices, lenses are individually identified by physical separation and labeling. In the LENSERVER Automatic, lenses are also physically separated in appropriately, and easily identifiable compartments during cleaning cycles.

Physical contact with lenses in all predicate devices occur with medical grade polymers and physical contact with lenses in the LENSERVER Automatic are also with medical grade polymers. These polymers are also used in the predicate devices, or are similar in chemical composition to previously used polymers.

Predicate devices have timing circuits that terminate cleaning after pre-determined periods. The LENSERVER Automatic also has a pre-determined cleaning period.

During lens cleaning the LENSERVER Automatic vibrates by electro-mechanical means. Predicate devices are also electro-mechanical in operation. Other predicate devices use ultrasonic cavitation in assisted cleaning.

The fluid reservoir in LENSERVER Automatic is manufactured by injection molding from medical grade polymer. Fluid reservoirs in predicate devices are manufactured from medical grade polymer or stainless steel.

Pre-Clinical Testing of the LENSERVER Automatic Contact Lens Cleaning Accessory

In vivo Testing

An acute ocular irritation test of solutions from the LENSERVER Automatic was also performed by an independent testing facility, with the conclusion that materials used in the device were safe, as recommended by the Center for Devices and Radiological Health for contact lens care devices.

Compatibility of the LENSERVER Automatic with soft hydrophilic and rigid gas permeable contact lenses in its intended application

The design and indicated use of the LENSERVER Automatic has been determined to be safe and compatible with soft hydrophilic and rigid gas permeable contact lenses. No detectable damage or changes were demonstrated in test lenses following the evaluation program by an independent testing facility.

Device evaluation was performed by highly trained and expert investigators at a recognized college of optometry using a modified protocol obtained from the Division of Ophthalmic Devices at the Office of Device Evaluation. Lens parameters of each new lens were measured prior to and after the series of cleaning cvcles. Ten lenses of each

3

lens type were cycled in ten different LENSERVER Automatic devices for a total of 30 cleaning cvcles for each individual lens. The lenses used were two types of soft hydrophilic lenses. FDA groups I and IV, and two different rigid gas permeable lenses of different manufacture.

Clinical testing for this device is not suggested, and was not performed.

The preceding tests conclude that the LENSERVER Automatic is safe when used on contact lenses, and the materials used in construction of this device meet the standards suggested by the FDA for biocompatibility. The LENSERVER Automatic also references the same lens solutions as predicate devices. The LENSERVER Automatic may thus be concluded to be substantially equivalent to predicate devices.

In conclusion, the LENSERVER Automatic Contact Lens Cleaning Accessory is mechanically similar to predicate devices, and like predicate devices, is indicated for use with approved contact lens care solutions, and references the same solutions. Just as predicate devices this device is manufactured with identical or chemically similar medical grade polymers where contact with lenses and solutions occur. Like predicate devices. the LENSERVER Automatic has also been independently demonstrated to be safe and compatible with contact lenses. These data provide justification for the LENSERVER Automatic to be substantially equivalent to predicate devices.

Differences between the LENSERVER Automatic and predicate devices: During lens cleaning the LENSERVER Automatic vibrates by electro-mechanical means at approximately 900 Hz, while the Clensatron 700 CL rotates at approximately 300 Hz by electro-mechanical means and the Hydra-Mat rotates at approximately 1-10 Hz by manual agitation. The Visonic Dome, Lensonic and Lens Comfort devices generate ultrasonic vibrations at approximately 40,000 Hz to 60,000 Hz.

The LENSERVER Automatic is solely powered by batteries. Predicate devices use UL approved transformers plugged into 110 V AC wall sockets for power, or a combination of transformers and batteries for power.

The fluid reservoir in LENSERVER Automatic is manufactured by injection molding from medical grade polymethylpentene. Fluid reservoirs in predicate devices Lens Comfort and Visonic Dome are manufactured from medical grade stainless steel, while Clensatron and Lensonic use injection molded, medical grade polycarbonate.

In vivo and in vitro tests

Acute ocular irritation test of the LENSERVER Automatic:

Since acute ocular irritation test results of the medical grade polymers used in construction of the LENSERVER Automatic were not available on Material Safety Data Sheets or manufacturers, this test was performed according to guidelines listed in USP XXII using saline cycled through the device in a manner similar to the following test for evaluation of device compatibility with contact lenses. The solution recovered from the LENSERVER Automatic was labeled 'LENSERVER test solution' and unprocessed solution 'Control solution'. These solutions were shipped on ice to a testing facility where the acute ocular irritation tests were performed. The acute ocular irritation test resulted in a conclusion favorable for the LENSERVER Automatic (test results on pages 4.2-4.4),

Compatibility of the LENSERVER Automatic with soft hydrophilic and rigid gas permeable contact lenses in its intended application:

The design and indicated use of the LENSERVER Automatic has been determined to be safe and compatible with soft hydrophilic and rigid gas permeable contact lenses. No detectable damage or changes were demonstrated in test lenses following the evaluation program by an independent testing facility.

Device evaluation was performed by trained investigators at the Southern California College of Optometry, Fullerton, California, using a modified protocol obtained from the Division of Ophthalmic Devices at the Office of Device Evaluation. The following lens parameters of each new lens were measured prior to and after the series of cleaning cycles: power, base curve, diameter and clarity. Ten lenses of each lens type were cycled in ten different LENSERVER Automatic devices for a total of 30 cleaning cycles for each individual lens. The lenses used were two types of soft hydrophilic lenses, FDA groups 1 and IV, and two different rigid gas permeable lenses of different manufacture.

A detailed report of the evaluation protocol and results appears in Appendix III.

Clinical testing for this device is not indicated, and is not included with this filing.

Substantially equivalent:

The LENSERVER Automatic Contact Lens Cleaning Accessory is mechanically similar to predicate devices, and like predicate devices, is indicated for use with approved contact lens care solutions, and reference the same solutions. Just as predicate devices this device is manufactured with identical or chemically similar medical grade polymers where contact with lenses and solutions occur. Like predicate devices, the LENSERVER Automatic has also been independently demonstrated to be safe and compatible with the indicated contact lenses. These data strongly favor the LENSERVER Automatic to be substantially equivalent to predicate devices.
