Intended Use
The LM-70 (lidofilcon A) Spherical Soft Contact Lens for daily wear aisre indicated for the correction of visual acuity in aphakic and not aphakic persons with non-diseased eyes that are myopic or hyperopic. The lens may be worn by persons who exhibit refractive astigmatism of 0.75 diopters or less that does not interfere with visual acuity. The lens may be disinfected using either a chemical or heat disinfecting system. The LM-70 (lidofilcon A) Toric Soft Contact Lens for daily wear is indicated for the correction of visual acuity in aphakic and not aphakic persons with non-diseased eyes that are myopic or hyperopic and/or possesses refractive astigmatism not exceeding 10 diopters. The lens may be disinfected using either a chemical or heat disinfecting system.
Device Description
The LM-70 Spherical and Toric Soft Contact Lens is fabricated from lidofilcon A, which in the dry (unhydrated) state may be machined and polished. The hydrophilic nature of this material allows the lens to become soft and pliable when immersed in an aqueous solution. In the hydrated state, the lens conforms to the curvature of the eye covering the cornea and extending slightly beyond the limbus forming a colorless, transparent optical surface. The (lidofilcon A) soft hydrophilic contact lens has a spherical back surface. The hydrophilic properties of the lens require that it be maintained in a fully hydrated state in a solution compatible with the eye. If the lens dries out, it will become hard and appear somewhat warned however, it will return to its proper configuration when completely rehydrated in the proper storage solution. The non-ionic lens material, (lidofilcon A) is a terpolymer of N-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone (NVP) and methyl methacrylate (MMA), cross-linked with ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (EGDMA) and Allyl methacrylate (AMA). It consists of 30% lidofilcon A and 70% water by weight when immersed in normal saline solution buffered with sodium bicarbonate. The hydrophilic characteristics allow aqueous solutions to enter the lens and in its fully hydrated state the lens is approximately 70% water by weight.

No
The summary describes a standard soft contact lens made of a specific material. There is no mention of any computational or analytical features that would suggest the use of AI or ML.

No.
The device is indicated for the correction of visual acuity, which is a compensatory function rather than a therapeutic one. It does not treat or cure a disease but rather corrects a vision defect.

No

Explanation: The device is a soft contact lens intended for the correction of visual acuity. Its purpose is to treat or correct a condition (myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism), not to diagnose a disease or condition.

No

The device description clearly describes a physical contact lens made of specific materials, not a software program.

Based on the provided text, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body (like blood, urine, or tissue) to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
  • Device Function: The LM-70 contact lens is a device that is placed on the eye to correct vision. It does not perform any tests on bodily samples.
  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states its purpose is for "correction of visual acuity."

Therefore, the LM-70 contact lens falls under the category of a medical device, but not specifically an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

(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.
