Intended Use
The COLORSOFT. Color Enhanced Tinted Soft Contact Lens is indicated for daily wear to enhance and/or alter the apparent eve color. The COLORSOFT visitint provides for ease of patient handling and does not effect iris color. Except for decreased light transmittance due to the tint intensity, the pre-tinted lens optical parameters remain the same as originally prescribed for the user prior to tinting. The lens is to be disinfected according to the original lens manufacturer's recommendation.
Device Description
COLORSOFT. Color Enhanced Tinted Soft Contact Lens are color enhanced soft contact lenses that have been previously prescribed for a specific patient. They have been supplied to Colorsoft Laboratories to be modified by a tinting process using color additives that have been listed as safe for contact lenses in accordance with the FDA's color additive regulations. The color additives are used in amounts not to exceed the minimum reasonably required to accomplish the intended coloring effect. As part of the manufacturing process, the lenses containing the color additives are thoroughly washed to remove unbound reactive color additives. The manufacturing process alters and/or changes the specifications to the clear version of a contact lens by affixing a listed color reactive additive on that portion of the anterior (front) surface of the lens that corresponds to the iris. The COLORSOFT. Color Enhanced Tinted Soft Contact Lens are available in a light, medium or dark shade of the following enhance colors; Colorsoft Blue, Deep Blue, Aspen Green, Aquamarine, Yellow, Violet, Red, Chocolate, and Amber. COLORSOFT, Color Enhanced Tinted Soft Contact Lens are also available in a standard blue visibility-handling tint. The color additive effect is formed by reacting one or more of the reactive color additives listed in this paragraph with (poly hydroxyethyl methacrylate). The reactive color additives that may be used either alone or in combination are: reactive blue 21, reactive blue 21, reactive blue 19, reactive blue 4, reactive blue 163, reactive red 11, reactive red 180, reactive yellow 15, reactive yellow 86, or reactive orange 78. The color additives used are not removed by lens handling and cleaning/disinfecting procedures. Except for affecting the amount of light transmittance through the lens, the coloring process does not alter the original characteristics of the pre-tinted lens. The following are tint patterns available to the practitioner: - Clear Pupil diameter (2,00mm to 8,00mm), standard is 4,5mm. - Annular (iris) diameter (8.00mm to 13.5mm), standard is 11.5mm diameter. - -Black pupil diameter (2.0mm to 12.5mm), standard is 4.0mm diameter.

No
The 510(k) summary describes a process for tinting existing soft contact lenses using chemical reactions with color additives. There is no mention of any computational or algorithmic processes, let alone AI or ML. The device description focuses solely on the physical and chemical aspects of the tinting process and the resulting lens characteristics.

No.
The device's intended use is to enhance or alter the apparent eye color, which is a cosmetic purpose, not a therapeutic one. The description explicitly states it does not affect iris color and its optical parameters remain the same as originally prescribed.

No
The device is a cosmetic contact lens intended for enhancing or altering eye color, not for diagnosing any medical conditions.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "Color Enhanced Tinted Soft Contact Lens" and describes a physical manufacturing process involving tinting and color additives applied to a contact lens. This indicates a physical medical device, not a software-only one.

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. They are used to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Device Function: The COLORSOFT. Color Enhanced Tinted Soft Contact Lens is a medical device intended to be worn on the eye to enhance or alter the apparent eye color. It is a physical device that interacts with the body externally, not a test performed on a biological sample.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is purely cosmetic (enhancing/altering eye color) and for ease of handling (visibility tint). It does not involve diagnosing, monitoring, or screening for any disease or condition.
  • Device Description: The description details the physical characteristics of the lens, the tinting process, and the materials used. It does not describe any analytical or diagnostic function.

Therefore, the COLORSOFT. Color Enhanced Tinted Soft Contact Lens falls under the category of a medical device, specifically a contact lens, and not an in vitro diagnostic device.

Intended Use / Indications for Use

The COLORSOFT, Color Enhanced Tinted Soft Contact Lens is indicated for daily wear to enhance and/or alter the apparent eye color. The COLORSOFT visibility-handling tint provides for ease of patient handling and does not effect iris color.

Dear Mr. Dalsing:

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 .
