No
The 510(k) summary describes a standard contact lens and contains no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or performance studies typically associated with AI/ML devices.

No.
The contact lens is indicated for the correction of refractive ametropia (myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism), which are vision imperfections, not diseases or conditions requiring therapeutic treatment.

No
The device is a contact lens used for vision correction, not for diagnosing a medical condition.

No

The device description clearly identifies the device as a "Soft (hydrophilic) contact lens," which is a physical medical device, not software.

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

Here's why:

  • IVDs are used to examine specimens from the human body. The intended use of the Continental 45 Toric contact lens is for the correction of refractive errors in the eye. It is a medical device that is placed on the surface of the eye, not used to analyze biological samples.
  • The description focuses on the physical properties and intended use for vision correction. There is no mention of analyzing blood, urine, tissue, or any other bodily fluid or sample.

This device is a Class II medical device (based on the typical classification of contact lenses) used for vision correction.

§ 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.

Dear Mr. McQuarrie:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) notification of intent to market the device referenced above and we have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (Premarket Approval), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 895. A substantially equivalent determination assumes compliance with the current Good Manufacturing Practice requirements, as set forth in the Quality System Regulation (QS) for Medical Devices: General regulation (21 CFR Part 820) and that, through periodic (QS) inspections, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will verify such assumptions. Failure to comply with the GMP regulation may result in regulatory action. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register. Please note: this response to your premarket notification submission does not affect any obligation you might have under sections 531 through 542 of the Act for devices under the Electronic Product Radiation Control provisions, or other Federal laws or regulations .
