Here's an analysis of the provided text regarding acceptance criteria and supporting study information.
IMPORTANT NOTE: The provided document is a 510(k) clearance letter from the FDA. Its purpose is to state that the device is "substantially equivalent" to legally marketed predicate devices, not typically to present original clinical study data or detailed acceptance criteria for a new device. Therefore, much of the requested information (especially specific performance metrics, sample sizes, expert qualifications, etc.) is not present in this type of document. The letter refers to the "premarket notification" which would contain such details, but the letter itself does not include them.
As such, I will extract what can be found and explicitly state when information is missing.
1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance
Performance Metric / Acceptance Criteria | Reported Device Performance |
---|---|
This document does not contain specific quantitative acceptance criteria or reported device performance metrics. It focuses on the regulatory equivalence of the device. |
Detailed Breakdown of Missing Information and Assumptions Based on Document Type:
Regarding the remaining points, this document (a 510(k) clearance letter) does not typically contain the detailed study information you're asking for. Such information would be submitted to the FDA in a Pre-Market Notification (510(k)) application by the manufacturer, but is not present in the clearance letter itself.
Here's a breakdown of the requested information and why it's not in this document:
-
2. Sample size for the test set and data provenance:
- Missing from document. Clinical study sample sizes and data provenance (e.g., country of origin, retrospective/prospective) are not included in this FDA clearance letter. These would have been part of the manufacturer's 510(k) submission.
-
3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and qualifications:
- Missing from document. For soft contact lenses, performance is typically assessed through clinical trials involving patient wear rather than expert image interpretation. If any expert evaluation was performed (e.g., grading of ocular health), the number and qualifications of those experts would not be listed in this type of FDA letter.
-
4. Adjudication method (e.g., 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set:
- Missing from document. This is typically relevant for image-based diagnostics where there's a need to resolve discrepancies between readers. Contact lens studies focus on physiological responses and visual acuity, which are measured directly or by an ophthalmologist/optometrist during follow-up visits.
-
5. If a multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done, and effect size:
- Not applicable / Missing from document. MRMC studies are primarily for evaluating diagnostic imaging devices where human readers interpret images. This device is a soft contact lens. Its effectiveness is assessed by factors like visual acuity, comfort, and ocular health outcomes in wearers, not by human interpretation of its "output" aided by AI. There is no indication of AI assistance in this traditional contact lens clearance.
-
6. If a standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done:
- Not applicable / Missing from document. This device appears to be a physical medical device (contact lens), not an algorithm or AI system. Therefore, "standalone algorithm performance" is not relevant.
-
7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.):
- Missing from document, but can be inferred for contact lenses. For contact lenses, "ground truth" often refers to clinical outcomes (e.g., measured visual acuity, slit lamp examination findings for ocular health, patient-reported comfort, incidence of adverse events). This information would be collected during clinical trials described in the 510(k) submission.
-
8. The sample size for the training set:
- Not applicable / Missing from document. As this is a physical contact lens, there isn't a "training set" in the context of machine learning or AI models. Clinical trials for contact lenses involve a "study population" or sample size.
-
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established:
- Not applicable / Missing from document. Similar to point 8, the concept of a "training set" and "ground truth establishment" for an algorithm does not apply to a physical contact lens. Clinical trial data collection methods would describe how outcomes (the closest equivalent to "ground truth" here) were established for the study population.
Summary regarding this particular document:
The provided document is an FDA 510(k) clearance letter confirming that the NOVAKONE Spherical and NOVAKONE Toric contact lenses are substantially equivalent to legally marketed predicate devices. It focuses on the regulatory aspects and indications for use. It does not present any specific data, acceptance criteria, or details of clinical studies that would contain the performance metrics or ground truth information you've requested. Those details would be found in the original 510(k) premarket notification submitted by the manufacturer.

This implies that the device's safety and effectiveness are established by showing equivalence to previously cleared devices through shared material and manufacturing characteristics rather than new, independent clinical performance studies with specific numerical acceptance criteria.
The provided document describes a 510(k) submission for a soft contact lens. In the context of 510(k) submissions, the "study that proves the device meets the acceptance criteria" is typically a demonstration of substantial equivalence to a legally marketed predicate device, rather than a clinical trial proving specific performance metrics against predefined acceptance criteria.
Here's the breakdown of the information requested, based on the provided text:
2. Sample sized used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g. country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective)
- Sample Size for Test Set: Not applicable. This submission is for a 510(k) premarket notification demonstrating substantial equivalence. It does not refer to a "test set" in the sense of clinical trial data with patient samples. The "testing" involves comparing the device's characteristics to a predicate device.
- Data Provenance: Not applicable in the context of a clinical test set. The data provenance relates to the characteristics and historical clearances of the predicate devices (WESLEY-JESSEN PROSTHETIC and BENZ-38) and the applicant's previously cleared devices (Alden Classic and Alden Classic Tinted), which would have been marketed in the USA. The submission itself is to the US FDA.
3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts (e.g. radiologist with 10 years of experience)
- Not applicable. There is no mention of expert consensus being used to establish a ground truth for a "test set" in this type of submission. The "ground truth" for substantial equivalence is derived from the characteristics and regulatory history of the predicate devices.
4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set
- Not applicable. This is not a clinical study involving human judgment or image analysis requiring adjudication.
5. If a multi reader multi case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done, If so, what was the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance
- Not applicable. This is a contact lens medical device submission for substantial equivalence, not an AI-based diagnostic tool.
6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done
- Not applicable. This is a contact lens medical device, not an algorithm or AI.
7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc)
- The "ground truth" for this 510(k) submission is the established safety and effectiveness profile of the predicate devices (WESLEY-JESSEN PROSTHETIC and BENZ-38) and the applicant's previously cleared devices (Alden Classic, and Alden Classic Tinted), as defined and accepted by the FDA when those predicate devices were brought to market. Substantial equivalence means the new device is as safe and effective as a legally marketed device.
8. The sample size for the training set
- Not applicable. This is not a machine learning or AI device that requires a training set.
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established
- Not applicable. As noted above, this is not a machine learning or AI device.

The OXYLENS (hioxifilcon B) Spherical Soft Contact Lenses for daily wear are indicated for the correction of visual acuity in aphakic and not aphakic persons with non-diseased eyes with myopia or byperopia. The lens may be worn by persons who exhibit refractive astigmatism of 1.50 diopters of less where the astigmatism does not interfere with visual acuity.
The OXYLENS (hioxifileon B) Toric Soft Contact Lenses for daily wear are indicated for the correction of visual acuity in aphakic and not aphakic persons with non-diseased eyes with myopia or hyperopia and/or possesses refractive astigmatism not exceeding 10 Diopters.
The lenses are available within a planned replacement program with frequency of replacement determined by the practitioner.
The OXYLENS (bioxifilcon B) Soft (Spherical & Toric) Daily Wear Contact lenses are fabricated from hioxifilcon B, 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 (hioxifilcon B) 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 eve. If the lens dries out, it will become hard and appear somewhat warped, however, it will return to its proper configuration when completely rehydrated in the proper storage solution.
The hydrophilic characteristics allow aqueous solutions to enter the lens and in its fully hydrated state the lens is approximately 48% water by weight.
Here's an analysis of the provided text regarding the acceptance criteria and study information for the Oxylens:
Based on the provided 510(k) summary, the device (Oxylens soft contact lenses) is seeking substantial equivalence to predicate devices, rather than presenting a standalone study with specific acceptance criteria for device performance in a clinical trial. The "acceptance criteria" here refer to demonstrating that the Oxylens device is functionally and materially equivalent to already-approved devices, meaning it meets the same safety and effectiveness profile.
The document primarily focuses on demonstrating equivalence through comparison of physical properties and manufacturing methods, rather than presenting a clinical study with performance metrics like sensitivity, specificity, or reader improvement.
1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance
Since this is a substantial equivalence submission, the "acceptance criteria" are implied by the characteristics of the predicate devices. The device "performance" is the Oxylens' material and manufacturing properties matching or being similar to those of the predicate.
Characteristic | Acceptance Criteria (Predicate Device Property) | Reported Device Performance (OxyLens) |
---|---|---|
Production Method | Lathe-Cut | Lathe-Cut |
Lens Function | Refractive medium that focuses light rays from near and distant objects on the retina, while compensating for refractive error, including astigmatism | Refractive medium that focuses light rays from near and distant objects on the retina, while compensating for refractive error, including astigmatism |
Material | Hydrophilic Polymer | Hydrophilic Polymer |
Water Content | 48% (for predicate) | 48% |
Polymer Content | 52% (for predicate) | 52% |
Polymer | hioxifilcon B | hioxifilcon B |
Dk Value (Oxygen Permeability) | 15 | 15 X 10-11 (cm2/sec) (ml O₂/ml x mm Hg @ 35°C), (revised Fatt method), effectively 15 |
Refractive Index | 1.404 (hydrated) | 1.404 (hydrated) |
Specific Gravity | 1.136 (hydrated) | 1.136 (hydrated) |
Light Transmission | greater than 95 % T | greater than 95 % T |
Study that proves the device meets the acceptance criteria:
The "study" proving equivalence is a comparison of the physical, chemical, and manufacturing characteristics of the Oxylens with those of the identified predicate devices ("Alden Classic" series, "Satureyes" and "Satureyes Toric" manufactured by Metro Optics, and "BENZ-G 3X" manufactured by Benz Research and Development). The document explicitly states: "The following matrix illustrates that the production method, lens function and material of the OxyLens (hioxifilcon B) Soft (Spherical & Toric) Daily Wear Contact Lens (Clear & Blue Visibility Tint, Lathecut from Lens Blank), are substantially equivalent to the predicate device(s). In addition, the water content, polymer, Dk value, refractive index, specific gravity, and light transmission are as well substantially equivalent to the predicate device."
This is a technical and material comparison, not a clinical efficacy or safety trial in the typical sense. The established safety profile (preclinical toxicology and manufacturing/chemistry data) of the device is equivalent to the BENZ-G 3X (hioxifilcon B), 510(k) #K964528.
2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g. country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective)
- Sample Size for Test Set: Not applicable. This submission relies on material and manufacturing equivalency testing and existing data from predicate devices, not on a new clinical test set of patients or images.
- Data Provenance: The data provided relates to the physical and chemical properties of the lens material. The "established safety profile" is linked to a predicate device (BENZ-G 3X) which would have undergone its own review. The provenance of that underlying data is not detailed here. It is not a clinical study with patient data provenance.
3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts (e.g. radiologist with 10 years of experience)
- Not applicable. This submission does not involve expert review for a "test set ground truth" in the context of an AI or diagnostic device. The ground truth for material properties is established through standard laboratory testing.
4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set
- Not applicable. There is no clinical "test set" and thus no adjudication method for establishing ground truth from multiple readers/experts.
5. If a multi reader multi case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done, If so, what was the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance
- No MRMC clinical study was done. This device is a contact lens, not an AI-assisted diagnostic tool.
6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the loop performance) was done
- Not applicable. This device is a contact lens, not an algorithm.
7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc)
- The "ground truth" here is based on standard material science properties and manufacturing characteristics (e.g., water content, Dk value, refractive index) as determined by established laboratory methods, and the functional characteristics of existing, legally marketed contact lenses. This is a technical equivalency, not a medical "ground truth" derived from patient outcomes or pathology.
8. The sample size for the training set
- Not applicable. This submission does not involve machine learning or an AI algorithm, so there is no training set.
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established
- Not applicable, as there is no training set.
