Here's a breakdown of the acceptance criteria and the study details for the PVS BASICS™ (paflufocon E) rigid gas permeable contact lenses, based on the provided text:
Acceptance Criteria and Device Performance
The provided document describes a clinical trial that established the PVS BASICS™ (paflufocon E) material as safe and effective against a predicate device (paflufocon A / FluoroPerm 92™). Specific numerical acceptance criteria are not explicitly stated as pass/fail thresholds in the provided text. Instead, the study's goal was to demonstrate "equivalence" between the new material and the predicate device for several clinical variables.
The tables below summarize the findings related to safety and symptoms, which implicitly serve as the performance data to demonstrate equivalence, meaning the PVS BASICS™ performed comparably to the established predicate.
Assumed Acceptance Criteria (based on predicate equivalence and safety profile):
- No statistically significant difference in Visual Acuity compared to predicate.
- No statistically significant difference in Comfort compared to predicate.
- No statistically significant difference in Lens-Eye Relationship compared to predicate.
- No statistically significant difference in Movement compared to predicate.
- No statistically significant difference in Slit Lamp Findings compared to predicate.
- No statistically significant difference in Functional Wetting compared to predicate.
- Low incidence of adverse events, similar to or better than the predicate.
- No serious ocular complications (corneal ulcers, iritis).

Study Details
-
Sample Size used for the test set and the data provenance:
- Test Set (Clinical Study):
- PVS BASICS™ (paflufocon E) ("Trial Eyes"): 70 eyes enrolled, 68 completed.
- Predicate (Paflufocon A / FluoroPerm 92™) ("Control Eyes"): 22 eyes enrolled and completed.
- Data Provenance: The document does not explicitly state the country of origin, but the submission is to the U.S. FDA, suggesting the study was likely conducted in the U.S. or under U.S. regulatory standards. The study appears to be prospective, described as a "randomized double-masked controlled trial."
- Test Set (Clinical Study):
-
Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts:
- The term "ground truth" as typically used in AI/Machine Learning doesn't directly apply here, as this is a clinical trial involving human subjects and direct observation.
- The "ground truth" or clinical data collection was based on direct patient experience and examination by "eye care practitioners" or clinical investigators. The document doesn't specify the number or qualifications of these practitioners.
-
Adjudication method for the test set:
- The study is described as a "randomized double-masked controlled trial." This means:
- Randomized: Subjects were randomly assigned to either the test or control lens group.
- Double-masked: Neither the patients nor the clinical investigators (those examining the patients and collecting data) knew which lens material the patient was wearing. This masking serves to minimize bias in observations and patient-reported outcomes.
- The process for resolving discrepancies in clinical findings (if any) or adverse event reporting is not explicitly detailed as an "adjudication method" in the provided text.
- The study is described as a "randomized double-masked controlled trial." This means:
-
If a multi-reader, multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done, If so, what was the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance:
- No. This was a clinical trial comparing a new contact lens material to a predicate device in humans, not an AI or imaging-based diagnostic device. Therefore, a multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study involving AI assistance is not applicable here.
-
If a standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done:
- No. This is a contact lens, a physical medical device, not a software algorithm. Therefore, "standalone" algorithm performance is not applicable.
-
The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.):
- For the clinical study, the "ground truth" (or primary outcome measures) used a combination of:
- Patient-reported outcomes: Comfort, symptoms, and complaints (e.g., discomfort, dryness, blurred vision).
- Clinical observations/measurements: Visual Acuity, Lens-Eye Relationship, Movement, Slit lamp Findings, Functional Wetting, and detailed adverse event reporting (staining, edema, injection, neovascularization, corneal ulcers, iritis).
- For biocompatibility, the ground truth was based on established ISO guidelines for ocular irritation (rabbit model), in vitro cytotoxicity (L-929 mouse fibroblast cells), and guinea pig maximization test for sensitization.
- For the clinical study, the "ground truth" (or primary outcome measures) used a combination of:
-
The sample size for the training set:
- This is a clinical trial for a physical device, not an AI/ML model. Therefore, there is no "training set" in the context of machine learning. The "training" for the device's development would involve material science, manufacturing, and preclinical testing.
-
How the ground truth for the training set was established:
- As there is no AI/ML training set, this question is not applicable. The development relied on established scientific principles, pre-clinical testing (biocompatibility and irritation studies mentioned), and comparative analysis against the predicate device.

The PVS BASICS 714 (paflufocon E) rigid gas permeable contact lenses are available in violet color. The violet tinted lenses contain D & C Violet # 2 and D & C Red #17.
The PVS BASICS 714 parturocon E) Dk 65 contact lens is substantially equivalent to the FluoroPerin 92 Dk 92 Rigid Gas Permeable Contact Lens marketed by Paragon Vision Sciences which is presently approved for daily wear under PMA (P820063). The physical, optical and chemical properties of the PVS BASICS ™ (paffufocon E) contact lens are substantially equivalent to the FluoroPerm 92 (paflufocon A).
In addition to the physicochemical comparison, toxicity and human clinical studies were conducted.
The test article, PVS Basics (AKA patlufocon E), Batch 234880-6, was extracted in 0.9% sodium chloride USP solution (SC) and cottonseed oil, NF (CSO). These extracts were evaluated for ocular irritation base on the International Organization for Standardization 10993: Biological Evaluation of Medical Devices, Part 10: Tests for Irritation and Sensitization.
A 0.2 ml dose of the appropriate test article extract was instilled in the right eye of three test rabbits. Similarly, the corresponding reagent control was instilled into the left eye of each rabbit to serve as the control conditions were evaluated at 1, 24, 48, and 72 hours after the single exposure.
Under the conditions of this study, there was no evidence of irritation in the test eye or any rabbit.
{2}------------------------------------------------
The SC and CSO test article extracts would not be considered irritants to the ocular tissue of the rabbit.
An in vitro biocompatibility test, based on the International Organization (ISO 10993-5) guidelines, was conducted on the test article. PVS Basics (AKA patlufocon E). Lot HS401710-8, in order to determine the potential for in vitro cytotoxicity. A single lens was placed on triplicate agarose surfaces directly overlaying confluent monolayers of L-929 mouse fibroblast cells. Similarly, triplicate negative and positive control wells were presared. After incubating at 37°C in 5% or for 24-26 hours, the cell cultures were examined macroscopically for cell decolorization around the test article and controls to determine the zone of cell lysis (if any). The cultures were then examined microscopically (100X) to verify any decolorized zones and to determine cell morphology in proximity to and beneath the test article.
The negative controls and the positive controls performed. Under the conditions of this study, the test article showed no evidence of causing cell lysis or toxicity. The test article was not cytotoxic and passed this ISO study.
A guinea pig maximization test of PVS Basics (AKA paffuroon E), Batch 234880-6, was conducted to evaluate the potential for delaved dermal contact sensitization. This study was conducted based on the international Organization for Standardization 10993; Biological Evaluation of Medical Devices, Part 10: Tests for Irritation and Sensitization.
The test article was extracted in 0.9% sodium chloride USP (SC) and contonsed oil. NF (CSO). Each extract was intradermally injected and occlusively patched to test guinea pies (per extract) in an attempt to induce sensitization. The vehicle was similarly injected and occlusively patched to five control guinea pigs (per vehicle). Following a recovery period, the test and control animals received a challenge patch of the appopriate test and the reagent control. All sites were scored at 24, 48 and 72 hours after patch removal.
Under the conditions of this study, the SC and CSO test article extracts showed no evidence of causing delayed demall contact sensitization in the guinea pig.
A clinical evaluation of the safety and effectiveness of the paflufocon E (PVS Basic™) polymer lens was reefformed. This randomized double-masked controlled trial evaluated the clinical performance of lenses produced using the new pathutocon E material in comparison to control lenses made with FDA approved prodicate material, paflufoon A (FluoroPerm 92TN).
Decision criteria were established for the equivalence of the materials these variables were: Visual Acuity, Comfort, Lens-Eye Relationship, Movement, Slit lamp Findings, Functional Wetting,
This clinical trial established Patlufocon E as safe and effective when compared to the currently marketed predicate control material, Paflufocon A (FluoroPerm 92™). The tables below summarize the results of the study.
