No
The summary describes a contact lens cleaner and its intended use, with no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or any related technologies. The performance studies focus on traditional safety and effectiveness testing for a cleaning solution.

No

Explanation: The device is described as a cleaner for contact lenses and its intended use is to clean them. It does not exert any therapeutic effect on the body or treat any medical condition.

No

Explanation: The device is described as a cleaner for various types of contact lenses, which is a therapeutic or maintenance function, not a diagnostic one.

No

The device description and performance studies clearly indicate this is a physical contact lens cleaner, not a software-only device. The studies involve microbiology, toxicology, chemistry, manufacturing, and clinical trials with physical contact lenses.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to "clean soft (hydrophilic), rigid gas permeable (silicone acrylate, fluoro-sillcone acrylate) and hard (PMA) contact lenses." This is a cleaning function for a medical device (contact lenses), not a diagnostic test performed in vitro (outside the body) on biological specimens to provide information about a person's health.
  • Device Description: The description confirms it's a "cleaner for rigid gas permeable (RGP) and hard (PMMA) contact lenses" with an added indication for "cleaning soft (hydrophilic) contact lenses." This reinforces its function as a cleaning product.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Elements: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples, detecting biomarkers, or providing diagnostic information about a patient's condition.

IVDs are used to diagnose diseases, monitor health, or screen for conditions by testing samples like blood, urine, or tissue. This device's purpose is solely to clean contact lenses.

Summary of Performance Studies

The device is currently marketed as a cleaner for rigid gas permeable (RGP) and hard (PMMA) contact lenses. The current notification is for the added indication of cleaning soft (hydrophilic) contact lenses. Lobob performed non-clinical and clinical testing on the device. The non-clinical testing supports the safety and effectiveness of the device from microbiology, toxicology, chemistry and manufacturing perspectives. Clinical data were obtained from a multi-center study involving a hydrophilic contact lens consisting of 72 eyes followed for 3 months. This data was submitted to and evaluated by FDA in connection with its approval of PMA No. P950031.

Dear Mr. Manelli:

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.
