Intended Use
The CANTOR & SILVER 5X PROSTHETIC Tinted Soft Contact Lens are indicated for daily wear to enhance or alter the apparent eye color, including ocular masking, either in sighted eyes that require a prosthetic contact lens for cosmetic management of conditions such as corneal, iris or lens abnormalities. The lens may also be prescribed for the correction of refractive ametropia (myopia, hyperopia and astigmatism) in aphakic and not aphakic persons or for occlusive therapy for conditions such as diplopia, amblyopia or extreme photophobia. The lens are disinfected using a hydrogen peroxide lens care system only and are available in a frequent replacement program.
Device Description
The CANTOR & SILVER 5X PROSTHETIC Tinted Soft Contact Lens are tinted with FDA "listed" color additives. 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 lens 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 reactive color additive on that portion of the anterior (front) surface of the lens that corresponds to the iris. The CANTOR & SILVER 5X PROSTHETIC Tinted Soft Contact Lens are tinted to the eyecare professional instructions. The prosthetic 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 19, 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 or approved cleaning/disinfecting procedures. The prosthetic lens tinting process does not alter the optical and/or performance characteristics of the finished tinted soft contact lens. Tint Patterns Available: 1. Clear lens with Black Pupil. Pupil sizes available in 2.0 mm to 12.5 mm. 2. Black Occluder Lens. A Central Black area that occludes light. Available to full lens diameter in 0.5 mm increments. 3. Black Annular with clear pupil. Black Annular diameter range 7.5 mm to full lens diameter in 0.5 mm increments. Clear Pupil diameter range 2.0 mm to 7.5 mm in 0.5 mm increments. 4. Tinted lens with Black Pupil. Uses the CANTOR & SILVER 5X PROSTHETIC Tinted Soft Contact Lens with black pupil. Pupil sizes available in 2.0 mm to 12.5 mm diameter.

No
The device description focuses on the physical properties, manufacturing process, and available tint patterns of a prosthetic contact lens. There is no mention of any software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate the use of AI or ML.

Yes.
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section states that the device can be used for "occlusive therapy for conditions such as diplopia, amblyopia or extreme photophobia," which are therapeutic applications.

No

The device is a contact lens designed to alter eye color, correct refractive errors, or for occlusive therapy. It does not perform any diagnostic function to identify or characterize a disease or condition.

No

The device is a physical contact lens, which is a hardware medical device, not software. The description details the materials, manufacturing process, and physical characteristics of the lens.

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, or tissue) to provide information for the diagnosis, treatment, or prevention of disease.
  • Device Function: The CANTOR & SILVER 5X PROSTHETIC Tinted Soft Contact Lens is a medical device that is placed directly on the eye. Its function is to:
    • Enhance or alter the apparent eye color for cosmetic purposes.
    • Mask ocular abnormalities.
    • Correct refractive errors (myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism).
    • Provide occlusive therapy for conditions like diplopia or amblyopia.
  • No Specimen Analysis: The device does not analyze any biological specimens from the patient. It interacts directly with the eye for therapeutic and cosmetic purposes.

Therefore, based on the provided information, the CANTOR & SILVER 5X PROSTHETIC Tinted Soft Contact Lens is a medical device, but not 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.

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 .
