No
The device is indicated for chemical disinfection and storage of contact lenses, not for treating any medical condition.

No
The device is indicated for chemical disinfection and storage of contact lenses, which are maintenance and hygiene functions, not diagnostic.

No

The 510(k) summary describes a "Lens Vial" which is a physical container for contact lenses, not a software application. The predicate device is also a "Contact Lens Case".

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for the chemical disinfection and storage of contact lenses. This is a process applied to a medical device (contact lenses) outside of the body, not a diagnostic test performed on a biological sample to determine a medical condition.
  • Device Description: While the description is "Not Found," the intended use clearly defines the function.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The document does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
    • Analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
    • Detecting or measuring substances in biological samples
    • Providing information for diagnosis, monitoring, or prognosis of a disease or condition.

The device is a container for contact lenses during a disinfection process, which falls under the category of a medical device accessory or a device used in the care of another medical device.

Dear Dr. Meyers:

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 .
