The Fluorex® 700-UV (flusilfocon A), Fluorex® 500-UV (flusilfocon B) and Fluorex® 300-UV (flusilfocon C) Spherical Rigid Gas Permeable Contact Lenses are indicated for daily wear for the correction of visual acuity in not-aphakic persons with non-diseased eyes that are myopic, hyperopic and which may exhibit astiqmatism of 1.50 diopters or less that does not interfere with visual acuity. The Fluorex® 700-UV (flusilfocon A), Fluorex® 500-UV (flusilfocon B) and Fluorex® 300-UV (flusilfocon C) Translating Bifocal and Trifocal Contact Lenses are indicated for daily wear for the correction of visual acuity in not-aphakic persons with non-diseased presbyopic eyes that are myopic or hyperopic and which may exhibit astigmatism of 3.50 diopters or less that does not interfere with visual acuity.
Device Description
The UV blocking materials contain a UV-absorbing compound incorporated into the fluoro-silicate-acryliccopolymers (flusilfocon A, B, C). The Fluorex® UV (flusilfocon) Rigid Gas Permeable Contact Lens when placed on a cornea acts as a refracting medium to focus light rays onto the retina.

Not Found

No
The summary describes contact lenses and their materials, with no mention of AI or ML technology in the intended use, device description, or performance studies.

No.
The device is used for the correction of visual acuity, which is a refractive purpose, not a therapeutic one. It does not treat or cure a disease but corrects a visual deficiency.

No
Explanation: The device is a contact lens intended for correcting visual acuity, not for diagnosing medical conditions.

No

The device description clearly states it is a physical contact lens made of fluoro-silicate-acryliccopolymers, which is a hardware component.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health.
  • Device Function: The provided text describes contact lenses. These devices are placed on the surface of the eye to correct vision by refracting light. They do not analyze biological specimens.
  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states the lenses are for "correction of visual acuity" in living persons. This is a therapeutic or corrective function, not a diagnostic one.

The description of the device and its intended use aligns with a medical device used for vision correction, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

§ 886.5916 Rigid gas permeable contact lens.

(a)
Identification. A rigid gas permeable contact lens is a device intended to be worn directly against the cornea of the eye to correct vision conditions. The device is made of various materials, such as cellulose acetate butyrate, polyacrylate-silicone, or silicone elastomers, whose main polymer molecules generally do not absorb or attract 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.

CHEMISTRY

The Fluorex® -UV (flusilfocon) materials are rigid gas permeable materials for making contact lenses, consisting of a fluorine-containing polyacrylate-silicone blend, and identical to the already approved Fluorex® (flusilfocon ) materials in component monomers, with the only difference being the addition of the UV blocker. No monomers were found to be extracted from the material.

TOXICOLOGY

The Fluorex® UV (flusilfocon) material was found to be noncytotoxic in an agar overlay cytotoxicity test.
