There is no mention of AI or ML in the device description, intended use, or performance studies.

No
The device is indicated for lubrication and rewetting of contact lenses, which typically falls under comfort or maintenance rather than directly treating a medical condition. While it ensures safe lens wear and prevents irritation, it does not aim to cure, mitigate, treat, or prevent a disease.

No
The device is described as lubricating and rewetting drops for contact lenses, which are used to alleviate dryness and discomfort, not to diagnose a condition.

No

The device description clearly indicates it is a sterile, isotonic, buffered solution containing various chemical ingredients, which is a physical product, not software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to lubricate and rewet soft contact lenses during lens wear. This is a direct application to the eye for comfort and function of the contact lens, not for diagnosing a condition or analyzing a sample from the body.
  • Device Description: The description details a sterile solution with ingredients designed for contact lens lubrication and preservation. It does not mention any components or functions related to analyzing biological samples.
  • Lack of IVD Indicators: 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
    • Diagnosing, monitoring, or predicting a disease or condition
    • Using techniques like immunoassays, molecular diagnostics, or clinical chemistry.
  • Performance Studies: The performance studies focus on the safety and effectiveness of the solution for use with contact lenses and on the eye, not on diagnostic accuracy or analytical performance.
  • Predicate Device: The predicate device is also a lubricating and rewetting drop for contact lenses, further supporting its classification as a contact lens accessory rather than an IVD.

In summary, the COMPLETE® brand Lubricating and Rewetting Drops are a medical device intended for use with contact lenses to improve comfort and function, not for in vitro diagnostic purposes.

510(k) SUMMARY COMPLETE® brand Lubricating and Rewetting Drops November, 1998

Discussion of Nonclinical: (b)(1)

With one exception, new COMPLETE® brand Lubricating and Rewetting Drops were evaluated for safety and efficacy using recommendations outlined in FDA's Premarket Notification [510(k)] Guidance Document for Contact Lens Care Products, issued May 1, 1997. A 28-day, ocular safety study in rabbits with repeated (4X/day) instillations, was completed to support product safety in lieu of a clinical study in humans. This product meets the suggested microbiological and toxicological criteria.

Microbiological Studies These studies are referenced from K981168 for COMPLETE® brand Multi-Purpose Solution.

  • The product meets USP Modified criteria for Preservative Effectiveness.
  • The product meets USP Sterility test requirements.

Toxicology Product safety was evaluated using the following tests:

  • Cytotoxicity: .
    Neutral Red Retention Assay: In an evaluation of ReNu MultiPlus vs. the old and new COMPLETE® solutions, using benzalkonium chloride (BAK) as a control, both new COMPLETE® and ReNu MultiPlus exhibited better neutral red retention than BAK. Old COMPLETE was better until the 2 hour time point, but dropped to approximately the same level as BAK after 3 hours of direct exposure. This indicates that new COMPLETE® may be less damaging to cells than old COMPLETE®.

CHO Clonal Growth Assay: In this comparison of ReNu MultiPlus vs. old COMPLETE® and new COMPLETE® Lubricating and Rewetting Drops. Chinese hamster ovary cells showed a significantly better survival rate with new COMPLETE® than the other two formulations. Relative survival was higher than the negative control at almost all concentration levels. Overall, new COMPLETE® showed the best relative survival in this assay. This indicates that new COMPLETE® solution may be less damaging to eye cells than the other products tested.

  • . Sensitization: The potential contact sensitization (Maximization Test) of new COMPLETE® brand Lubricating and Rewetting Drops was evaluated in 25 female Hartley guinea pigs using a maximization test conducted following methods adapted from the procedure described by Magnusson and Kligman, 1970. The marketed COMPLETE® formulation was used as a control.
    No dermal reactions were observed in either test or control groups. indicating that new COMPLETE® is comparable to the marketed formulation.

Toxicology (Continued)

  • Acute Oral Toxicity: The acute oral toxicity of new COMPLETE® . Lubricating and Rewetting Drops was evaluated in forty (20 male and 20 female) CD albino rats following a single oral administration and 14 days of observation. Test animals received new COMPLETE® while control animals received sterile water for injection, both at a dose of 20 mL/kg. All rats were sacrificed at the end of the 14-day observation period.
    There were no treatment-related effects or deaths. New COMPLETE® caused no adverse effects when administered to rats at a single oral dose of 20 mLJkg.

This study is referenced from K981168 for COMPLETE® brand Multi-Purpose Solution.

  • 28-Day Ocular Safety Study: The ocular safety of new COMPLETE® . Lubricating and Rewetting Drops in conjunction with COMPLETE® Weekly Enzymatic Cleaner, using SOFLENS® soft contact lenses was evaluated in twelve female New Zealand white rabbits.
    Lenses were soaked overnight in approximately 4 mL of either the new or old formulation. Once a week, one COMPLETE® enzyme tablet was added to the overnight soak (1 tablet/4 mL). The test also involved topical instillations of new or old COMPLETE® solution at approximate 2 hour intervals (4X/day) for the entire study period. Lenses were worn for approximately 8 hours a day for 28 consecutive days.

Rabbits were observed daily at lens application and at each instillation for ocular discomfort. Observations for gross ocular irritation were made at each topical instillation and at lens removal. Pachometry, slit lamp examinations, and body weights were performed weekly. Ophthalmoscopy was performed prior to the start and at the end of the study. Histopathological evaluation was performed on both eyes of all rabbits at the conclusion of the study.

All animals remained healthy and growth was normal throughout the study. No clinically significant ocular discomfort or conjunctival irritation was observed at lens application or removal. No clinically significant changes in corneal thickness were detected by pachometry examinations. No clinically significant conjunctival, uveal or corneal abnormalities were noted at any slit lamp examination. No apparent ocular changes were observed by direct ophthalmoscopy. Histopathological examinations revealed no treatment related changes in ocular tissue.

The results of this study indicate that frequent eye contact with new COMPLETE® brand Lubricating and Rewetting Drops, in conjunction with COMPLETE® Weekly Enzymatic Cleaner, is safe for use with hydrophilic contact lenses.

Stability Testing using the protocol approved in K981168, to establish an expiration date, will be completed prior to marketing this product.

510(k) SUMMARY COMPLETE® brand Lubricating and Rewetting Drops November, 1998

Discussion of Clinical Data: (b)(2)

This clinical investigation involved use of the new COMPLETE® formulation as a multi-purpose solution. Although the product was not used as a lubricating and rewetting drop, its use as a multi-purpose solution involved indirect instillation. Subjects were instructed to either put the lens into the eye directly from soaking in the lens case, or to rinse the lens with multi-purpose solution prior to wearing. The 28-Day toxicology study summarized on the previous page provides the principal safety support for use as a lubricating and rewetting drop.

Six clinical investigators enrolled a total of 124 subjects, of whom 62 were assigned to the Investigational multi-purpose solution (MPS) group and 62 to the approved (COMPLETE®) MPS group. Two subjects in the Investigational MPS group were disqualified, leaving 60 evaluable subjects in the Investigational MPS group and 62 evaluable subjects in the COMPLETE® MPS group. Of these, 90.3% in the Investigational MPS group and 90.3% in the COMPLETE® MPS group completed the study.

Safety:

No adverse device effects were reported during this study and there were no statistically significant differences in the number of examinations with clinically significant slit lamp findings. There were statistically significant differences between the Investigational MPS and COMPLETE® MPS groups in the maximum severity grades for injection and tarsal anomaly, with more severe findings in the COMPLETE® MPS group than in the Investigational MPS group. Other safety variables were similar for both groups, with no findings directly attributed to the study regimens.

Acceptability:

There was a statistically significant difference between the Investigational MPS and COMPLETE® MPS groups with higher maximum severity score for symptoms of discomfort in the Investigational MPS group. However, the overall incidence of these selected symptoms were low and not regimen related and therefore not clinically relevant to the performance of the investigational regimen. There was no statistically significant difference between the Investigational MPS and COMPLETE® MPS groups in the number of examinations with clinically significant ocular symptoms of discomfort.

There was no statistically significant difference between the Investigational MPS and COMPLETE® MPS for other findings which were unremarkable.

  • Conclusions Drawn from Data Supporting Equivalence Determination: (b)(3) It is concluded that the safety, efficacy and performance of the Investigational product is substantially equivalent to the approved formulation currently on the market.
