The device description and intended use clearly indicate a sterile, buffered, isotonic aqueous solution for lubricating contact lenses. There is no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or any other technology typically associated with AI/ML in medical devices. The performance studies focus on clinical safety and efficacy related to the solution's properties, not algorithmic performance.
No.
The "Intended Use" indicates that the device is used to lubricate and rewet contact lenses, primarily for comfort and moistening, and not for treating or diagnosing a disease or condition.
No
The device is described as "lens drops" for lubricating and rewetting contact lenses, indicating a treatment or maintenance function rather than a diagnostic one.
No
The device description clearly states it is a sterile, buffered, isotonic, aqueous solution, indicating it is a liquid 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 contact lenses to reduce discomfort. This is a direct interaction with a medical device (contact lens) and the user's eye, not an in vitro examination of a specimen from the human body.
- Device Description: The description details a sterile solution for contact lens care. It does not mention any components or processes 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 specimens (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
- Providing information about a disease, condition, or physiological state
- Using reagents or assays for diagnostic purposes
Therefore, OPTI-FREE EXPRESS Lens Drops falls under the category of a medical device for contact lens care, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.
