Intended Use
The Specialty 55 Multifocal (methafilcon A) Soft (Hydrophilic) Contact Lens for Daily Wear is indicated for daily wear for the correction of refractive ametropia (myopia and hyperopia) and presbyopia in aphakic or not-aphakic persons with non-diseased eyes that may exhibit refractive and/or corneal astigmatism up to 2.00 diopters that does not interfere with visual acuity. The Specialty 55 (methafilcon A) Soft (Hydrophilic) Single Vision Contact Lens for Daily Wear is indicated for daily wear for the correction of refractive ametropia (myopia, and hyperopia) in aphakic or not-aphakic persons with non-diseased eyes that may exhibit refractive and/or corneal astigmatism up to 2.00 diopters that does not interfere with visual acuity. The lenses may be disinfected using a chemical or hydrogen peroxide disinfection system. Eyecare practitioners may prescribe the lenses for daily wear and/or frequent replacement. When prescribed for a Frequent Replacement Program, the lenses may be disinfected using chemical or hydrogen peroxide disinfection systems.
Device Description
The Specialty 55 Multifocal (methafilcon A) Soft (Hydrophilic) Contact Lens for Daily Wear and the Specialty 55 (methafilcon A) Soft (Hydrophilic) Single Vision Contact Lens for Daily Wear are hemispherical flexible shells which cover the cornea and a portion of the adjacent sclera. The Specialty 55 Multifocal (methafilcon A) Soft (Hydrophilic) Contact Lens is available as an aspherical multifocal lens and the Specialty 55 (methafilcon A) Soft (Hydrophilic) Single Vision Contact Lens is available as a single vision lens. The lens material (methafilcon A) is a hydrophilic polymer of 2-hydroxyethy) methacrylate (HEMA) and methacrylic acid cross-linked with ethyleneglycol dimethacrylate (45.0%) and water (55.0%). The Specialty 55 Multifocal (methafilcon A) Soft (Hydrophilic) Contact Lens for Daily Wear and the Specialty 55 (methafilcon A) Soft (Hydrophilic) Single Vision Contact Lens for Daily Wear are tinted using Vat Blue #6 in an entrapment tinting process during polymerization of the lens.
More Information

No
The description focuses on the material properties and intended use of a contact lens, with no mention of AI or ML technology.

No.
The device is indicated for daily wear for the correction of refractive ametropia (myopia and hyperopia) and presbyopia, which are optical corrections, not treatments for diseases.

No
The device is a contact lens used for the correction of refractive errors and presbyopia, not for diagnosing medical conditions. Its intended use is to correct vision, not to identify or monitor diseases.

No

The device is a physical contact lens made of a hydrophilic polymer, not software.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
  • Device Description and Intended Use: The description clearly states that the device is a contact lens, a physical object placed on the eye to correct vision. The intended use is for the correction of refractive errors and presbyopia.
  • Lack of Biological Sample Analysis: There is no mention of the device analyzing any biological samples from the patient. Its function is purely optical and physical.

Therefore, the Specialty 55 Multifocal and Single Vision Contact Lenses are medical devices, but they do not fit the definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

A series of preclinical tests were performed to demonstrate the safety and effectiveness of the Specialty 55 Multifocal and Specialty 55 (methafilcon A) Single Vision Contact Lenses for Daily Wear, and to establish substantial equivalence to the predicate devices.
Results of Systemic Injection, Primary Ocular Irritation and Cytotoxicity Tests show the lenses to be non-toxic and non-irritating. A Solution Compatibility test, using chemical and hydrogen peroxide regimens showed Specialty 55 lenses to be compatible with both regimens. Specialty 55 lenses were extracted and evaluated for presence of the Vat Blue #6 dye. Results show no detectable leachability of the dye. Physicochemical testing of the Specialty 55 lenses determined equivalency to the predicate devices.

(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.

Predicate Devices:

The Specialty Progressive (methafilcon A) Soft (Hydrophilic) Multifocal Contact Lens and the Specialty Choice AB (methafilcon A) Soft Single Vision Contact Lens, and the IGEL 56 (hefilcon C) Soft (hydrophilic) Contact Lens were selected as the predicate devices.

The Specialty Choice AB and Specialty Progressive lenses were cleared under 510(k) K963488, and are manufactured by a molding process that uses the methafilcon A polymer and the same lens designs as the Specialty 55 lenses. The dye tinting process is different, the lenses are tinted with Reactive Blue #4 after lens hydration using a wet lens tinting process, where the Specialty 55 lenses are in-monomer tinted.

The IGEL 56 lenses were cleared under 510(k) K974837, and were selected as predicate devices because, although they are molded from a different polymer, and tinted with a different dye, they are produced in the same facility, under the same quality system, using the same molding, in-monomer tinting, packaging and sterilization processes as the Specialty 55 lenses.

Indications for Use:

The Specialty 55 Multifocal (methafilcon A) Soft (Hydrophilic) Contact Lens for Daily Wear is indicated for daily wear for the correction of refractive ametropia (myopia and hyperopia) and presbyopia in aphakic or not-aphakic persons with non-diseased eyes that may exhibit refractive and/or corneal astigmatism up to 2.00 diopters that does not interfere with visual acuity.

The Specialty 55 (methafilcon A) Soft (Hydrophilic) Single Vision Contact Lens for Daily Wear is indicated for daily wear for the correction of refractive ametropia (myopia, and hyperopia) in aphakic or not-aphakic persons with non-diseased eyes that may exhibit refractive and/or corneal astigmatism up to 2.00 diopters that does not interfere with visual i acuity.

The lenses may be disinfected using a chemical or hydrogen peroxide disinfection system. Evecare practitioners may prescribe the lenses for daily wear and/or frequent replacement. When prescribed for a Frequent Replacement Program, the lenses may be disinfected using chemical or hydrogen peroxide disinfection systems.

Description of Safety and Substantial Equivalence:

A series of preclinical tests were performed to demonstrate the safety and effectiveness of the Specialty 55 Multifocal and Specialty 55 (methafilcon A) Single Vision Contact Lenses for Daily Wear, and to establish substantial equivalence to the predicate devices.

Results of Systemic Injection, Primary Ocular Irritation and Cytotoxicity Tests show the lenses to be non-toxic and non-irritating. A Solution Compatibility test, using chemical and hydrogen peroxide regimens showed Specialty 55 lenses to be compatible with both regimens. Specialty 55 lenses were extracted and evaluated for presence of the Vat Blue #6 dye. Results show no detectable leachability of the dye. Physicochemical testing of the Specialty 55 lenses determined equivalency to the predicate devices.

Conclusion:

Information submitted in the 510(k) establishes that the Specialty 55 Multifocal and Specialty 55 Single Vision Contact Lenses (methafilcon A) have comparable physicochemical properties to the predicate devices and do not raise questions of safety and effectiveness. Therefore, the devices are substantially equivalent to the predicate devices.
