This document describes the regulatory clearance of contact lenses, not a medical AI device requiring the kind of rigorous AI-specific validation outlined in your request. The provided text is a 510(k) clearance letter for contact lenses, which focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device through physicochemical, biocompatibility, and clinical performance in human subjects, rather than AI model performance metrics.
Therefore, many of the requested elements for an AI device's acceptance criteria and accompanying study (e.g., sample size for test set, data provenance for AI, number of experts for ground truth, adjudication method, MRMC studies, standalone AI performance, training set details) are not applicable to this document as it does not relate to an AI device.
However, I can extract the relevant information from the provided document concerning the contact lens study and present it in a similar structured format, adapting where necessary.
Device: Pegavision (Toufilcon B) Daily Disposable Soft (Hydrophilic) Contact Lenses; Pegavision (Toufilcon B) Soft (Hydrophilic) Contact Lenses
Nature of Study: Clinical trial demonstrating substantial equivalence of a new contact lens product to an existing predicate device, focusing on safety and effectiveness for vision correction. This is not an AI device study.
1. Table of Acceptance Criteria (for Contact Lenses) and Reported Device Performance
Given this is a contact lens, the "acceptance criteria" are related to clinical efficacy (visual acuity) and safety (adverse events, slit lamp findings), and various physicochemical properties. The study aims to show non-inferiority or comparability to the predicate device rather than meeting specific numerical thresholds for many of the elements you'd expect in an AI performance table (e.g., sensitivity, specificity).
| Acceptance Criteria Category (for Contact Lenses) | Specific Metric / Criterion | Reported Device Performance |
|---|---|---|
| Clinical Efficacy (Primary Endpoint) | Corrected contact lens visual acuity of 1.0 decimal (0.0 logMAR) or better at final visit | "no difference in control group and test group." "test and control groups are comparable in corrected contact lens visual acuity." |
| Clinical Safety (Secondary Endpoints) | Absence of serious and significant adverse device events (ADE) | "no serious and significant adverse device event occurred during the conduct of the study in both control and test group." |
| Slit Lamp Findings > Grade 2 | "No subject with adverse device effects accompanying Slit Lamp Findings > Grade 2 was reported in the control group and test group." | |
| Physicochemical Properties | Met established specifications and requirements (e.g., Refractive Index, Oxygen Permeability, Water content, Light Transmittance, Mechanical Property, Shelf Life, Solution Compatibility, Preservative Uptake and Release) | "The results demonstrated that the lens met all established specifications and requirements for physical, optical, and chemical properties." (Specific values for some properties are provided in the "Technological characteristics studies" table, indicating they were assessed against the predicate). |
| Biocompatibility | Exhibit no cytotoxicity, no ocular irritation, no skin sensitization, and no acute systemic toxicity. Product does not contain any toxic or harmful substances. | "All biocompatibility tests yielded passing results, confirming that the product does not contain any toxic or harmful substances that may pose a risk to biological systems." |
2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance
- Test Set Sample Size:
- Screened: 75 subjects
- Enrolled: 56 subjects (39 wore test lenses, 17 wore control lenses)
- Completed Study: 54 subjects (2 subjects in test group discontinued)
- Data Provenance: Prospective, randomized, double-blind, parallel, active-controlled clinical trial conducted in Taiwan.
3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications
Not explicitly stated for establishing "ground truth," as this was a clinical trial involving patient outcomes and examinations. Clinical assessments were likely performed by eye care professionals involved in the study (e.g., ophthalmologists, optometrists), but a specific number or their detailed qualifications are not provided in the summary. The "ground truth" for contact lenses is physiological response, visual acuity, and safety outcomes from direct patient observation.
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set
Not explicitly stated. Clinical trials typically have protocols for adverse event reporting and assessment, often by an independent safety committee or study investigators.
5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study Was Done
No, an MRMC study was not done. This type of study is specifically designed for evaluating diagnostic performance of imaging modalities or AI systems where multiple readers interpret cases. This document describes a clinical trial for a contact lens, comparing direct patient outcomes between a new lens and a predicate.
6. If a Standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the loop performance) Was Done
Not Applicable. This is a physical medical device (contact lens), not an algorithm or AI system.
7. The Type of Ground Truth Used
The "ground truth" for this contact lens study was based on:
- Clinical Outcomes Data: Corrected visual acuity measurements.
- Safety Data: Adverse event reporting, assessment of slit lamp findings (direct observation of ocular health by clinicians).
- Physicochemical and Biocompatibility Test Results: Objective laboratory measurements demonstrating material properties and biological safety.
8. The Sample Size for the Training Set
Not Applicable. This is not an AI/machine learning study, so there is no training set in that context. The "training" for the device would be the manufacturing process and quality control.
9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established
Not Applicable. See point 8.

The provided text describes a 510(k) submission for Pegavision (Hioxifilcon A) Daily Disposable Soft Contact Lenses. It outlines the device's characteristics and compares it to a predicate device to establish substantial equivalence. However, the document does not contain information about acceptance criteria and a study that proves the device meets those criteria in the context of a diagnostic or AI-powered medical device.
This submission is for soft contact lenses, which are regulated differently from diagnostic software/AI. The "studies" mentioned are non-clinical performance and biocompatibility tests, not clinical performance studies with acceptance criteria for diagnostic accuracy metrics (e.g., sensitivity, specificity, AUC).
Therefore, I cannot fulfill your request to provide a table of acceptance criteria and reported device performance, nor details about sample sizes, ground truth establishment, expert qualifications, adjudication methods, or MRMC/standalone studies, because this information is not present in the provided FDA 510(k) summary for a contact lens.
The document mainly focuses on:
- Technological characteristics comparison to a predicate device (K222885).
- Non-clinical testing (physicochemical properties, biocompatibility, shelf life, sterility) to demonstrate safety and effectiveness for a contact lens.
- Substantial equivalence based on material, design, intended use, and performance claims to the predicate device, with differences in dye and light transmittance being compared to another reference device (ACUVUE® OASYS MAX 1-DAY K210930).

The provided document (K222885) is a 510(k) Premarket Notification for contact lenses, specifically Pegavision (Hioxifilcon A) One-Day Soft (Hydrophilic) Contact Lenses (59% Water).
It is crucial to understand that this document describes a submission for a medical device (contact lenses), NOT an AI/ML-powered diagnostic device. Therefore, the standard acceptance criteria and study designs typically associated with AI/ML systems (such as those involving test sets, ground truth establishment by experts, MRMC studies, etc.) do not apply to this submission.
The "study that proves the device meets the acceptance criteria" in this context refers to the non-clinical performance tests conducted to demonstrate the safety and effectiveness of the contact lenses. The acceptance criteria are based on established standards for contact lens properties and safety.
Here's an interpretation based on the provided document, framed within the context of a traditional medical device submission, rather than an AI/ML algorithm:
Acceptance Criteria and Study for Pegavision (Hioxifilcon A) One-Day Soft (Hydrophilic) Contact Lenses (59% Water)
The device, Pegavision (Hioxifilcon A) One-Day Soft (Hydrophilic) Contact Lenses (59% Water), is a Class II medical device. Its acceptance criteria and proof of meeting them are primarily based on demonstrating substantial equivalence to legally marketed predicate devices through a combination of non-clinical (laboratory) testing and established material safety.

Key Findings:
- The proposed device matches the material, water content, refractive index, visible light transmittance, and UV blocking properties of the predicate devices.
- The oxygen permeability of the proposed device ($23.2 \times 10^{-11}$) falls within the range and is comparable to the predicate devices ($20.6 \times 10^{-11}$ and $25 \times 10^{-11}$).
- The lens designs (Sphere, Asphere, Toric, Multifocal) are covered by the combined designs of the two predicate devices, demonstrating equivalence in functionality.
- The indications for use are also substantially equivalent to or within the scope of the predicate devices.
2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance
For this type of device (contact lenses), there isn't a "test set" in the common AI/ML sense (i.e., a dataset of images or patient records for algorithmic evaluation). Instead, the "testing" involves laboratory characterization of the physical and chemical properties of manufactured lenses.
- Sample Size: The document does not specify the exact sample sizes for each non-clinical test (e.g., how many lenses were tested for oxygen permeability). This information would typically be detailed in the full test reports referenced in the submission, conforming to relevant ISO standards or FDA guidance.
- Data Provenance: The tests are performed on samples of the manufactured Pegavision contact lenses themselves. The document states, "All tests were conducted in accordance with the May 1994 FDA guidance title Premarket Notification 510(K) Guidance Document for Class II Contact Lenses." This implies the testing was likely conducted in a controlled laboratory environment, presumably by the manufacturer or a contracted lab, with methodologies defined by regulatory guidance. The country of origin of the data is Taiwan, where Pegavision Corporation is located. The studies are prospective in the sense that they are specifically conducted to characterize the new device.
3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications of Those Experts
This concept is not applicable to this type of medical device submission. Ground truth for contact lenses is established through objective physical and chemical measurements (e.g., refractometers for refractive index, oxygen permeameters for oxygen permeability, spectrophotometers for light transmittance). There is no "expert consensus" on the "truth" of a lens's physical property; it's a direct measurement.
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set
This concept is not applicable. Since the "ground truth" for the non-clinical tests is directly measured physical properties, there is no need for adjudication of human interpretations.
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
This concept is not applicable. An MRMC study is a clinical study design used primarily for diagnostic devices, especially those involving human interpretation of medical images (e.g., radiologists reading X-rays). This submission is for a physical medical device (contact lenses), not an AI algorithm assisting human readers.
6. If a Standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done
This concept is not applicable. This is not an AI algorithm.
7. The Type of Ground Truth Used
The "ground truth" in this context refers to objectively measured physical and chemical properties of the contact lenses. This includes:
- Physicochemical Properties: Refractive Index, Oxygen Permeability, Water Content, Extractables, Mechanical Properties, Light Transmittance.
- Biocompatibility: Cytotoxicity, Ocular Irritation, Acute Systemic Toxicity (these tests assess the biological response to the material).
- Shelf Life and Sterility: Confirming the product's integrity and safety over time.
These are established through laboratory testing using validated methods and scientific instrumentation, not expert consensus or outcomes data in the typical sense of a diagnostic trial.
8. The Sample Size for the Training Set
This concept is not applicable. "Training set" is a term used in machine learning for data used to develop and optimize an algorithm. This submission is for a manufactured physical product, not an AI algorithm.
9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established
This concept is not applicable for the reasons stated above.
Summary regarding this specific submission (K222885):
The FDA's decision of substantial equivalence for these contact lenses is based on the following:
- Comparison to Predicate Devices: The proposed device uses the same USAN material (Hioxifilcon A) and has highly similar technological characteristics (water content, refractive index, UV blocking, oxygen permeability) to already cleared predicate devices.
- Non-Clinical Testing: The manufacturer performed standard non-clinical tests (physicochemical properties, biocompatibility, shelf life, sterility) in accordance with FDA guidance for Class II contact lenses. These tests demonstrated that the specific manufactured lenses meet safety and performance standards comparable to the predicates.
- No Clinical Study Required: Given the well-documented safety and effectiveness of the Hioxifilcon A material and the substantial equivalence to existing devices, the FDA deemed that clinical studies were "not required for the premarket notification." This is common for 510(k) submissions of well-understood device types with established predicates.

Non-clinical tests performed (page 7) and their relevance to acceptance criteria:
- Physicochemical Properties Test: The results of this test would demonstrate that the lenses meet the established finished product specifications. The specific acceptance criteria are not detailed but are implied to be within acceptable ranges for contact lens safety and performance.
- Biocompatibility Tests (according to ISO 10993 series):
- Cytotoxicity Test (ISO 10993-5): Proves the materials (lenses, packaging solution, plastic container) are not toxic to cells. Acceptance criteria would be no significant cytotoxic effect.
- Ocular Irritation Test (ISO 10993-10): Proves the materials are not irritating to the eye. Acceptance criteria would be a low or absent irritation score.
- Acute Systemic Toxicity Test (ISO 10993-11): Proves the materials do not cause acute systemic toxic effects. Acceptance criteria would be no significant systemic toxic response.
- Extractable Test: Demonstrates that leachable substances from the device are within safe limits. Acceptance criteria would be that extractables are below specified toxicological thresholds.
- Shelf Life Test and Sterility Test: Confirm the device maintains its properties and sterility over its intended shelf life. Acceptance criteria would include maintaining physical integrity, water content, and remaining sterile.
2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g. country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective):
No specific sample size for a clinical "test set" is mentioned because a clinical study was not required for this 510(k) submission. The non-clinical tests (physicochemical, biocompatibility, extractable, shelf life, sterility) would have their own sample sizes for the materials tested, but these are not detailed in this summary. The data provenance is implied to be from internal testing by Pegavision Corporation, Taiwan, as they are the submitter. These appear to be laboratory-based tests.
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. As no clinical study was required for this 510(k), there was no "test set" in the context of human data requiring expert ground truth establishment. Non-clinical tests are evaluated against scientific standards and regulations (e.g., ISO standards).
4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set:
Not applicable, as no clinical study and corresponding test set requiring adjudication was performed.
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 device is a contact lens, not an AI-powered diagnostic tool. Therefore, an MRMC study related to AI assistance is irrelevant.
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.):
For the non-clinical tests, the "ground truth" is based on established scientific principles, regulatory standards (like ISO 10993), and the performance characteristics of the predicate devices. For example, for biocompatibility, the ground truth is an absence of toxicity or irritation defined by the standards. For material properties, it's the measured values compared against established ranges and predicate device data.
8. The sample size for the training set:
Not applicable. There is no training set in the context of an algorithm or AI.
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established:
Not applicable. There is no training set in the context of an algorithm or AI.
In summary:
This 510(k) submission for Aquamax contact lenses relies on demonstrating substantial equivalence to existing, legally marketed predicate devices rather than proving the safety and effectiveness of a novel device through new clinical trials with defined acceptance criteria. The "study" referenced involves a series of non-clinical tests (physicochemical properties, biocompatibility, extractables, shelf life, sterility) to confirm that the new device's materials and manufacturing process yield a product with comparable characteristics and safety profiles to the predicates. The success of these non-clinical tests, along with the inherent similarity to established predicate devices, forms the basis for the FDA's substantial equivalence determination.

The provided text contains information about the regulatory clearance of contact lenses, specifically Pegavision (Etafilcon A) Color Daily Disposable Soft (Hydrophilic) Contact Lenses and Pegavision (Etafilcon A) Color Soft (Hydrophilic) Contact Lenses.
*However, the document does not describe an AI/ML-based device and therefore does not contain information about acceptance criteria, test sets, ground truth establishment, or clinical studies involving human readers and AI assistance for such a device.
Instead, it focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to predicate contact lenses through:
- Physicochemical Properties Tests: Measuring properties like water content, refractive index, oxygen permeability, and light transmittance.
- Biocompatibility Tests: Including cytotoxicity, maximization sensitization, and ocular irritation tests.
- Shelf Life Test and Sterility Test.
- Extractable Test.
- Compatibility Test of Care Solution.
The document explicitly states: "Clinical studies for Pegavision (Etafilcon A) Color Soft (Hydrophilic) Contact Lenses of the present device are not required for the premarket notification as the USAN name and process or color additive are the same as the above mentioned predicate devices." This indicates that the safety and effectiveness were established through non-clinical testing and comparison to already cleared devices, not through a clinical trial with human subjects/readers.
Therefore, I cannot provide the requested information about acceptance criteria for an AI/ML device, test set details, ground truth, expert adjudication, or MRMC studies, as these concepts are not applicable to the content of the provided regulatory filing for contact lenses.

2. Sample Sizes Used for Test Set and Data Provenance
- Sample Size for Test Set: Not explicitly stated for most tests in quantitative terms (e.g., number of lenses, number of animals). The document indicates "All tests were conducted" and "Studies were conducted to determine leachable materials," implying standard testing protocols were followed, which would inherently involve specific sample sizes per test type (e.g., for cytotoxicity, sensitization, ocular irritation, material property measurements) but these numbers are not detailed in this summary.
- Data Provenance: The studies were conducted by Pegavision Corporation (Taiwan). The report implies that these were internal studies to support the 510(k) submission. Therefore, it is retrospective in the sense that the data was generated to support the application, but the tests themselves would have been conducted prospectively on the device.
3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications
- This information is not provided in the summary. For non-clinical tests (biocompatibility, material characteristics, microbiology), "ground truth" is typically established by laboratory standards and validated methods rather than expert consensus on individual observations. For manufacturing verification, engineers and quality control personnel would assess against specifications.
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set
- This information is not applicable in the context of these non-clinical, objective tests. Adjudication methods (like 2+1, 3+1) are typically used in clinical studies where subjective assessments (e.g., image interpretation, patient-reported outcomes) from multiple readers or clinicians require reconciliation for ground truth establishment.
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, an MRMC comparative effectiveness study was not done.
- This device is a physical medical device (contact lenses), not an AI/software device that assists human readers. Therefore, this type of study is completely irrelevant to this submission.
6. If a Standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done
- No, a standalone performance study was not done.
- As established above, this is a physical medical device, not an algorithm or AI.
7. The Type of Ground Truth Used
- For the non-clinical tests described:
- Material properties: Measured values compared against established standards and values of predicate devices.
- Biocompatibility: Negative responses (absence of toxicity, sensitization, irritation) based on standardized in vitro and in vivo models.
- Microbiology/Sterility: Achievement of a specified Sterility Assurance Level (SAL) confirmed by validation studies using microbiological indicators and established protocols.
- Leachability: Absence of detectable levels of specific substances using analytical chemistry methods.
- Manufacturing Verification: Conformance to engineering specifications and tolerances for physical dimensions (diameter, power, base curve).
8. The Sample Size for the Training Set
- Not applicable. This device is a manufactured product, not an AI model requiring a training set. The term "training set" is typically associated with machine learning and AI algorithms.
9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set was Established
- Not applicable. See point 8.
Summary of the Study per the Document:
The study presented in this 510(k) summary is a series of non-clinical, laboratory-based tests designed to demonstrate the safety and effectiveness of the Aquamax (Etafilcon A) contact lenses and their substantial equivalence to legally marketed predicate devices. The "study" encompasses:
- Technological Characteristics Comparison: Direct comparison of material properties and design specifications with three predicate devices (K120028, K962804, K991134). The current device largely matches the most relevant predicate (K120028) for key properties like oxygen permeability and percentage transmission, and is in acceptable ranges for others.
- Biocompatibility Testing: According to standard cytotoxicity, maximization sensitization, and ocular irritation tests.
- Microbiology and Sterilization Validation: Validation of the steam sterilization process to ensure a minimum SAL of 10⁻⁵ and demonstration of sterility throughout the shelf life.
- Bacteriostatic Validation: Testing of the steam sterilizer's effectiveness in killing microorganisms.
- Leachability Studies: To confirm the absence of leachable monomers and additive residues.
- Manufacturing Verification Studies: For the new toric and multifocal lens designs, ensuring they meet specified tolerances for key parameters like diameter, power, and base curve.
The overarching "study" proves adherence to the "Premarket Notification 510(K) Guidance Document for Class IV Contact Lenses" (May 1994) and establishes substantial equivalence based on these non-clinical tests. Clinical studies were deemed "not required" due to the well-documented safety and effectiveness of etafilcon A lenses and the similarity to predicate devices.

This document is a 510(k) premarket notification for three types of soft contact lenses: Aquamax (Etafilcon A) Soft (Hydrophilic) Contact Lenses for Frequent Replacement, Aquamax (Etafilcon A) Daily Disposable Soft (Hydrophilic) Contact Lenses, and NaturalVue (Etafilcon A) Daily Disposable Soft (Hydrophilic) Contact Lenses. The submission aims to demonstrate substantial equivalence to previously cleared predicate devices.
Here's an analysis of the acceptance criteria and the study information provided:
1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance
The acceptance criteria are implicitly defined by demonstrating substantial equivalence to the predicate devices based on material properties, biocompatibility, microbiology, bacteriostatic validation, and leachability. There are no explicit quantitative acceptance criteria stated beyond "complying with the requirement of FDA Group 4" for sterilization. Differences in oxygen permeability and percent transmittance are evaluated against the predicate devices.
| Criteria/Property | Acceptance Criteria (Implied by Predicate) | Proposed Device (Aquamax/NaturalVue Etafilcon A) Reported Performance |
|---|---|---|
| Material Properties | ||
| Production Method | Cast-Molded (for K120028 & K962804 predicates) | Cast-Molded |
| USAN Name | Etafilcon A (for K120028 & K962804 predicates) | Etafilcon A |
| Material Classification | Group 4 high water ionic (for K120028 & K962804 predicates) | Group 4 high water ionic |
| Water Content (%) | 58% (for K120028 & K962804 predicates) | 58% |
| Refractive Index | 1.4023 (for K120028 predicate) | 1.4023 |
| Oxygen Permeability (Dk) @ 35°C | Approx. $19.73 \times 10^{-11}$ (K120028) to $21.4 \times 10^{-11}$ (K962804) | $19.73 \times 10^{-11}$ (cm²/sec)(ml O₂/ml-mmHg) |
| Percent Transmittance % T at 593nm | > 95% (for K120028 & K013445 predicates), > 85% (for K962804 predicate) | > 95% |
| % T at 380-315nm (UVA) | < 30% (for K120028 & K962804 predicates) | < 30% |
| % T at 315-280nm (UVB) | < 5% (for K120028 & K962804 predicates) | < 5% |
| Biocompatibility | Negative responses for cytotoxicity, maximization, and ocular irritation | Negative responses recorded for all tests |
| Microbiology (Sterilization) | Minimum SAL of 10-6 (FDA Group 4 requirement) | Validated to deliver a minimum SAL of 10-6 |
| Bacteriostatic Validation | Effective killing of microorganisms, sterility maintained (5 years) | Steam sterilizer effective, no microbial growth for 5 years |
| Leachability | No leachable monomers and additive residues at detection levels | No leachable monomers and additive residues at detection levels |
2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance
The document does not specify a "test set" in the context of a clinical study with a specific sample size. The evaluation relies heavily on non-clinical tests comparing the device's properties to legally marketed predicate devices.
- Data Provenance: The document explicitly states that "Aquamax (Etaflicon A) Soft (Hydrophilic) Contact Lenses from the previous FDA cleared K120028 did not require clinical studies as the USAN name and manufacturing processes are the same as the above-mentioned ACUVUE predicate (and reference) devices." This indicates a reliance on the historical performance and existing regulatory clearances of similar devices.
- Non-Clinical Tests: These tests would involve laboratory samples of the contact lenses. The specific number of contact lenses or batches tested for each non-clinical criterion (e.g., water content, Dk, transmittance, biocompatibility) is not provided. The provenance of these laboratory samples (e.g., country of manufacture) is implicitly Taiwan, where Pegavision Corporation is located. These would be retrospective in the sense that they are conducted on manufactured devices for regulatory submission, rather than a prospective clinical trial on human subjects.
3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications of Those Experts
This information is not applicable as there was no "test set" in the context of clinical data requiring expert review for ground truth. The evaluation is based on non-clinical laboratory testing and equivalence to predicate devices.
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set
This information is not applicable for the same reasons as #3.
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
This information is not applicable. This submission is for a medical device (contact lenses), not an AI-powered diagnostic or assistive tool for human readers.
6. If a Standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done
This information is not applicable as the device is a contact lens and not an algorithm.
7. The Type of Ground Truth Used
The "ground truth" for the device's performance is established by:
- Laboratory measurements/standards: For material properties (water content, Dk, transmittance, refractive index), biocompatibility (standard cytotoxicity, maximization, ocular irritation tests), microbiology (sterilization SAL), bacteriostatic validation, and leachability. These are objective, quantifiable measurements against established scientific and regulatory standards.
- Demonstrated equivalence to predicate devices: The "ground truth" for the overall safety and effectiveness is largely based on the fact that the proposed devices are substantially equivalent to previously cleared devices (K120028, K013445, K962804) which have established safety and effectiveness profiles through prior regulatory review and historical clinical use.
8. The Sample Size for the Training Set
This information is not applicable. There is no "training set" as this is not an AI/machine learning model.
9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set was Established
This information is not applicable as there is no training set.

The model illuminated with water content of 38%. These hydrogel lens materials are homo-polymer of 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) crosslinked with ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (EGDMA) via photo-polymerization. These lenses are tinted blue using C.I. reactive blue 19 to make them more visible for handling. These lenses contain UV blocker, a benzotriazole UV absorbing monomer to block UV radiation. The average transmittance characteristics of theses lenses are less than 5 % in the UV range of 280-315 nm and less than 50% in the UVA range of 316-380nm. Lenses are supplied sterile in sealed blister package containing sterile isotonic borate buffered saline solution.
Here's an analysis of the provided text regarding the acceptance criteria and supporting studies for the Aquamax (Polymacon) Soft (Hydrophilic) Contact Lenses:
The submission K123973 refers to a 510(k) premarket notification for contact lenses, which are inherently different from typical medical devices that might involve AI, image analysis, or complex algorithms requiring extensive performance criteria like sensitivity, specificity, or reader studies. This document, therefore, focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to existing, legally marketed predicate devices rather than proving performance against specific acceptance criteria for a novel technology.
As such, many of the requested categories (like sample sizes for test sets, number of experts, adjudication methods, MRMC studies, standalone AI performance, and training set information) are not applicable to this type of regulatory submission for contact lenses, which relies on the established safety and effectiveness of the material and manufacturing process. The "acceptance criteria" here are implicitly about matching the characteristics of the predicate devices and fulfilling non-clinical testing requirements.
Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance
The "acceptance criteria" for this device are largely defined by its resemblance and comparable performance to the predicate devices. The study demonstrates substantial equivalence through a comparison of technological characteristics and non-clinical testing.

| % T at 315-280 nm (UV-B) | Not specified for predicates (but Aquamax states UV blocker) | < 5 % |
| Biocompatibility | Negative responses for cytotoxicity, maximization sensitization, ocular irritation | Negative responses recorded for all tests |

Summary of the Study:
The study presented in K123973 is a non-clinical study designed to demonstrate substantial equivalence of the Aquamax (Polymacon) Quarterly and Monthly Disposable Soft (Hydrophilic) Contact Lenses to two predicate devices: Soflens Multifocal (Polymacon) Visibility Tinted Contact lens (K020927) and Frequency 38 (Polymacon) Soft (hydrophilic) Contact Lens (K042824).
The study followed the May 1994 FDA guideline titled "Premarket Notification 510(K) Guidance Document for Class IV Contact Lenses."
The proof of meeting "acceptance criteria" (i.e., substantial equivalence) is established by showing that the Aquamax lenses:
- Share the same technological characteristics with the predicate devices (same FDA Group, USAN name (Polymacon), production method, water content, refractive index, power range, and comparable oxygen permeability and % T at 593 nm). The new lenses also include UV blocking properties.
- Pass a series of non-clinical safety tests:
- Biocompatibility: Negative responses for cytotoxicity, maximization sensitization, and ocular irritation.
- Microbiology/Sterilization: Validation of steam sterilization process to achieve a minimum SAL of 10⁻⁶ and shelf-life stability.
- Bacteriostatic Validation: Demonstration that microorganisms were killed and lens packages maintained sterility and integrity for a 5-year accelerated period.
- Leachability: No detectable leachable monomers or additive residues.
The document explicitly states that clinical studies were "not required" because the USAN name (Polymacon) and manufacturing process are the same as the predicate devices, whose safety and effectiveness are "well documented." This approach is typical for 510(k) submissions of devices that are very similar to already cleared devices.
