Intended Use
The BIOMEDICS 55 (ocufilcon D) UV Blocking soft (hydrophilic) contact lens is indicated for daily wear in not-aphakic, normal eyes which manifest myopia, hyperopia, or astigmatism in powers from -20.00 to +20.00 diopters and astigmatic corrections from -0.25 to -10.00 diopters. Spherical lenses may mask astigmatism in patients with up to 2.00 diopters that does not interfere with visual acuity. The lens may be dispensed in a daily disposable or scheduled replacement program. The lenses may be prescribed for daily wear for disposal after removal in the Disposable Lens Program or for cleaning and disinfection in the Scheduled Replacement Program, as recommended by the eyecare practitioner. The lens may be disinfected only with a chemical disinfection regimen.
Device Description
Soft contact lenses are hemispherical shells manufactured of polymerized material of HEMA and other monomeric ingredients including UVAM, an ultraviolet absorber. crosslinked with EGDMA and other components which yield the appearance of lenses which are designed to fit over the corneal surface of the eye. These lenses are designed with varying base curves which conform to the shape of the radius of the cornea and center over the apex of the cornea to provide corrective refraction for functional conditions of the eye including myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness) and astigmatism (multiple foci). Each lens provides corrective power which is to correspond to the refractive power of the eye to which it is being treated. Each lens is designed with a base curve on the internal side of the lens and an optical zone in the center of the lens which is generally of a diameter greater than 6mm. Secondary and tertiary curves as well as beveled edge configurations are built into the lens for the purpose of aiding in lens centration and comfort.

No
The summary describes a standard soft contact lens made of conventional materials and designed for refractive correction. There is no mention of any computational or analytical capabilities that would suggest the use of AI or ML.

No
The device is a contact lens used to correct refractive errors (myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism) rather than to treat or cure a disease or medical condition.

No
The device is a contact lens designed for vision correction (myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism), not for diagnosing medical conditions. It provides therapeutic/corrective benefits rather than diagnostic information.

No

The device description clearly states it is a soft contact lens, which is a physical medical device made of polymerized material. It is not software.

No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are devices intended for use in the collection, preparation, and examination of specimens taken from the human body (such as blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information for the diagnosis, treatment, or prevention of disease.
  • Device Function: The BIOMEDICS 55 contact lens is a medical device that is placed on the surface of the eye to correct refractive errors (myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism). It does not analyze or test any biological specimens from the body.
  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states it's for correcting vision in not-aphakic, normal eyes. This is a therapeutic and corrective function, not a diagnostic one based on in vitro analysis.

The information provided describes a contact lens, which is a Class II or Class III medical device depending on its intended use and risk profile, but it does not fit the definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic.

§ 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.
