Eyecare practitioners may prescribe the lenses for frequent/planned replacement wear, with cleaning, disinfection and scheduled replacement. When prescribed for frequent/planned replacement wear, the lenses may be disinfected using only a chemical (not heat) disinfecting system compatible with both silicone-hydrogel and rigid gas permeable lenses.
The SynergEves® SiH with Hydra-PEG Hybrid Daily Wear Contact Lens is a combination of high Dk rigid gas permeable contact lens-at the central optical portion of the lens corresponding to the cornea-and soft hydrophilic silicone-hydrogel skirt-straddling the limbus of the eye peripherally. The lenses are manufactured by lathe cutting process for custom Rx, and fabricated from petrafocon A (rigid, central portion) and hem-larafilcon A (soft, peripheral portion). The soft skirt is comprised of silicone hydrogel copolymer (hem-larafilcon A). The lens consists of 28% water and 72% (petrafocon A and hem-larafilcon A). The (petratocon A and hem-larafilcon A) names have been adopted by the United States Adopted Names Council (USAN). When placed on the human cornea, the SynergEyes® SiH with Hydra-PEG Hybrid Daily Wear Contact Lens acts as a refractive medium to focus light rays onto the retina.
The SynergEyes® SiH with Hydra-PEG Hybrid Daily Wear Contact Lens incorporates a violet visibility tint in the rigid gas permeable center, and a UV absorber. The device is available in the spherical, aspheric, multifocal (progressive), post-surgical, & irregular cornea design configurations with the following properties:
• Chord Diameter 13.0 mm to 25.00 mm
• Center Thickness 0.050 mm to 0.500 mm
• Base Curve 5.50 mm to 9.50 mm
• Power Range (sphere) -25.00D to +25.00D
• Add Power +1.00D to +4.00D
The Physical properties of the lens are:
Refractive Index (wet) RGP Center 1.442 Soft Skirt 1.435
Luminous Transmittance (tinted) (380nm to 780) 87% 97%
Surface Character hydrophobic hydrophilic
Water Content 28 ± 2%
Specific Gravity 1.15 N/A
Oxygen Permeability (revised Fatt method) 130 84
The SynergEyes® SiH with Hydra-PEG Hybrid Daily Wear Contact Lens is treated to incorporate Hydra-PEG Technology (HPT)-which is a thin polyethylene glycol (PEG)-based polymer that is covalently (permanently) bonded to the surface of the contact lens and is designed to enhance the surface properties of the contact lens while retaining the mechanical properties of the underlying material. When treated with HPT, the underlying material (petrafocon A hem-larafilcon A) is encapsulated in a thin layer of polymer that results in measurable improvement of wettability (dynamic contact receding angle) compared to untreated lenses. The resulting layer is hydrophilic and approximately 30nm in thickness.
The lens is supplied sterile in vials containing a buffered saline solution. Vial labeling is printed with appropriate lot numbering, expiration dating and lens parameter identification. Expiration dating has been established based on studies of product stability, package integrity, and validation of the sterilization process.
This document describes the premarket notification (510(k)) for the SynergEyes® SiH with Hydra-PEG Hybrid Daily Wear Contact Lens. The core of the submission revolves around demonstrating substantial equivalence to previously cleared predicate devices. The "acceptance criteria" and "study that proves the device meets the acceptance criteria" in this context refer to the data and analyses presented to the FDA to establish this substantial equivalence, particularly focusing on how the new Hydra-PEG technology impacts the lens properties.
The document does not describe a traditional AI/ML model's acceptance criteria or performance study in the way one might evaluate a diagnostic algorithm. Instead, it focuses on the physical and chemical properties of a medical device (contact lens) and its clinical safety and effectiveness through comparisons to existing devices.
Here's an interpretation based on the provided text for the requested information, understanding that "acceptance criteria" here relates to demonstrating comparable performance and safety, primarily in terms of wettability improvement:
Overview of Device and Purpose of Submission:
The SynergEyes® SiH with Hydra-PEG Hybrid Daily Wear Contact Lens is a modification of existing SynergEyes® SiH lenses to include Hydra-PEG Technology (HPT). HPT is a polyethylene glycol (PEG)-based polymer designed to improve the wettability of the contact lenses. The submission aims to demonstrate that this modification does not change the design or indications for use, and that the lens with HPT is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices while offering improved wettability.
1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance
For a contact lens, acceptance criteria for physical properties typically involve demonstrating that the new device performs at least as well as, or better than, the predicate device in key safety and performance metrics. The primary criterion highlighted for the new technology (Hydra-PEG) in this submission is improved wettability.
Acceptance Criterion (Implicit for Equivalence) | Reported Device Performance (SynergEyes® SiH with Hydra-PEG) | Predicate Device Performance (SynergEyes® SiH - Uncoated) |
---|---|---|
Improved Wettability (Lower Contact Angle) | 21.75° (Average captive bubble advancing contact angle) | 33.50° (Average captive bubble advancing contact angle) |
Equivalent Design/Indications for Use | Same as predicate (correction of hyperopic, myopic, astigmatic refractive error, presbyopia, irregular corneas, post-surgical/trauma) | Same |
Equivalent Manufacturing Process | Lathe-Cut, custom manufactured | Lathe-Cut, custom manufactured |
Equivalent Material Properties (base material) | petrafocon A hem-larafilcon A (RGP center and soft skirt) | petrafocon A hem-larafilcon A |
Equivalent Oxygen Permeability (Dk) | 130 (RGP Center), 84 (Soft Skirt) | (Implicitly similar or same, as material is the same) |
Non-toxicity / Biocompatibility | Confirmed through in vitro and in vivo testing | Presumed for predicate |
Sterility / Shelf-life Stability | Confirmed through testing | Presumed for predicate |
Note on "Acceptance Criteria": This document primarily focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence, meaning the new device is as safe and effective as a legally marketed predicate device. For the Hydra-PEG modification, the key "acceptance" is that it improves wettability without negatively impacting other critical safety and performance parameters, and that its overall safety and efficacy are maintained as per the predicate device.
2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance
- Sample Size for Wettability Test: n = 20 lenses (for the statistical comparison of mean contact angle between coated and uncoated lenses).
- Data Provenance: Not explicitly stated regarding country of origin or specific study sites. The non-clinical toxicology and biocompatibility tests were conducted "in vitro and in vivo" and "in accordance with the GLP regulation." The clinical safety and effectiveness were "previously established" for the base hybrid contact lenses and for contact lenses treated with Hydra-PEG, suggesting reliance on existing data rather than a new, dedicated clinical trial for this specific 510(k) submission. Therefore, it's retrospective in the sense of leveraging prior data, but the wettability test itself was likely a specific laboratory test for this submission.
3. Number of Experts Used to Establish Ground Truth and Qualifications
This submission is for a medical device (contact lens), not an AI/ML diagnostic system. Therefore, the concept of "experts establishing ground truth" in the diagnostic image interpretation sense does not apply directly. The "ground truth" for device performance is based on quantifiable physical properties (e.g., contact angle, water content, oxygen permeability) measured through validated laboratory methods, and clinical safety and efficacy data from previous studies.
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set
Not applicable in the context of device physical property testing or clinical safety and efficacy data for a contact lens. Adjudication methods are relevant for subjective interpretations of data, particularly in medical image analysis.
5. If a multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done
This was not done. MRMC studies are typically performed for diagnostic devices (e.g., AI algorithms for medical imaging) to assess reader performance with and without AI assistance. This submission is for a therapeutic device (contact lens) where the primary mechanism of action is physical correction of vision and surface properties, not diagnostic interpretation.
6. If a standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done
Not applicable. This is not an algorithm, but a physical medical device. The "standalone performance" refers to the intrinsic performance of the lens itself (e.g., wettability, refractive correction, safety profile).
7. The Type of Ground Truth Used
The "ground truth" (or basis for claiming safety and effectiveness and substantial equivalence) for this device includes:
- Quantitative Physical Property Measurements: Laboratory measurements of properties like contact angle (wettability), refractive index, luminous transmittance, water content, specific gravity, and oxygen permeability. These are objective, measurable parameters.
- Non-clinical Toxicology and Biocompatibility Data: Results from in vitro and in vivo tests confirming the safety of the materials and the finished lens, in accordance with GLP regulations.
- Clinical Safety and Effectiveness Data (Referenced): "[T]he clinical safety and effectiveness has been previously established for hybrid contact lenses manufactured from (petrafocon A hem-larafilcon A) and contact lenses treated with Hydra-PEG." This implies reliance on existing clinical data for the base material and the Hydra-PEG technology itself, rather than a new, dedicated clinical trial for this specific lens permutation.
8. The Sample Size for the Training Set
Not applicable. This is not an AI/ML model that requires a "training set." The development of the Hydra-PEG technology and the contact lens material would involve R&D and optimization, but not in the sense of an AI model's training data.
9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established
Not applicable, as it's not an AI/ML model.

Note: The submission frames the "acceptance criteria" as demonstrating that "the test lens performed no worse than the control lens on a daily basis," thereby establishing substantial equivalence. Specific quantitative thresholds for "no worse than" are not explicitly stated in the provided text for each outcome.
2. Sample Size and Data Provenance for Test Set
- Sample Size:
- Total Subjects Randomized and Dispensed: 87
- Test Cohort (dispensed): 56 subjects (eyes implicitly, given contact lens context)
- Control Cohort (dispensed): 31 subjects (eyes implicitly)
- Completed 90-day study: 41 Test cohort subjects (73.2%), 27 Control cohort subjects (87.1%)
- Data Provenance: The study was conducted at 8 investigational sites. The country of origin is not explicitly stated, but the submission is to the FDA (United States), suggesting the study likely took place in the USA. The study was prospective and unmasked, open-label.
3. Number of Experts and Qualifications for Ground Truth
This type of study (clinical trial for contact lenses) does not typically involve external experts establishing a "ground truth" for the test set in the way an imaging AI study would. Instead, the ground truth is clinical data collected by investigators/clinicians at the 8 investigational sites.
Their qualifications are not explicitly stated but would be assumed to be licensed ophthalmologists or optometrists experienced in fitting and evaluating contact lenses and ocular health, as is standard for clinical trials. They performed slit-lamp examinations, visual acuity assessments, and recorded adverse events and patient complaints.
4. Adjudication Method for Test Set
There is no mention of an independent adjudication method (like 2+1 or 3+1 consensus) for the collected clinical data. The data interpretation and reporting appear to be based on the findings of the individual investigators at the 8 sites, compiled and analyzed statistically.
5. Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study
No, a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was not conducted. This is a clinical trial comparing a new device (contact lens) to a predicate device in human subjects, not an assessment of AI's assistance to human readers. Therefore, an effect size of human readers improving with/without AI assistance is not applicable.
6. Standalone (Algorithm Only) Performance
No, a standalone (algorithm only) performance assessment was not done. This device is a physical contact lens, not a software algorithm.
7. Type of Ground Truth Used
The "ground truth" in this context refers to the clinical observations and outcomes data collected directly from the study subjects. This includes:
- Adverse events (e.g., abrasions, microbial keratitis)
- Slit lamp findings (e.g., staining, other ocular signs)
- Visual acuity measurements
- Patient-reported symptoms and complaints (e.g., discomfort, dryness, itching/burning, halos)
- Wearing times
- Lens deposit and fitting evaluations
- Reasons for discontinuation
These are directly observed or reported clinical realities in the study population.

SynergEyes TM - A, M, KC, and PS (paflufocon D hem-iberfilcon A) Hybrid Daily Wear Contact Lens
This FDA 510(k) clearance letter for the SynergEyes Hybrid Contact Lenses does not contain the detailed information necessary to complete most of the requested fields regarding acceptance criteria and a study proving device performance. This document is a clearance letter, indicating that the FDA has determined the device is substantially equivalent to legally marketed predicate devices, not a scientific study report.
Here's a breakdown of what can be extracted and what is missing:
The core of the request is to describe the acceptance criteria and a detailed study proving the device meets those criteria, specifically for an AI/ML context. This document is for a medical device (contact lenses) and does not involve AI/ML. Therefore, most of the requested fields related to AI/ML study design (test sets, ground truth, experts, MRMC, standalone performance, training sets) are not applicable or cannot be found in this document.
Information Extracted from the Provided Text:
- Device Name: SynergEyes (paflufocon D hem-iberfilcon A) Hybrid Contact Lenses for Daily Wear
Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance:
Based on the document, there are no explicit acceptance criteria or reported device performance metrics in the format usually provided for AI/ML or efficacy studies. The "acceptance" here is the FDA's determination of substantial equivalence, which is based on demonstrating the device is as safe and effective as a predicate device, not necessarily on meeting specific numerical performance targets outlined in this letter.
The "Indications for Use" section defines what the lenses are for, which can be seen as the intended performance scope, but not numerical acceptance criteria.
Acceptance Criteria (Not explicitly stated in numerical terms for performance in this document) | Reported Device Performance (Not quantitative performance data for this device in this document) |
---|---|
Safe and effective as predicate device (implicit for 510(k) clearance) | Not explicitly reported in this document beyond being substantially equivalent to a predicate. |
Correction of hyperopic, myopic, and astigmatic refractive error (including presbyopia) | Device is indicated for these uses. |
Daily wear | Device is indicated for daily wear. |
Correction up to +20.00 and -20.00 D in eyes with astigmatism up to 6.00 D (for A and M models) | Device is indicated for this range. |
Add powers between +1.00 D and +4.00 D (for presbyopia) | Device is indicated for this range. |
Correction of irregular astigmatism up to 10.00 D (for KC model) | Device is indicated for this range. |
Correction of irregular astigmatism up to 6.00 D (for PS model) | Device is indicated for this range. |

Missing Information (Not present in this 510(k) clearance letter):
- Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g. country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective): Not described. The 510(k) process relies on equivalence to predicate devices, and while testing would have been done by the manufacturer, the details of those studies are not in this clearance letter.
- Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts: Not applicable/not described as this is not an AI/ML study.
- Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set: Not applicable/not described.
- 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, as this is not an AI/ML device.
- If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the loop performance) was done: Not applicable, as this is not an AI/ML device.
- The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc): Not applicable, as this is not an AI/ML study. Performance for contact lenses would typically involve clinical trials assessing visual acuity, comfort, fit, and physiological response, but these details are not in this clearance letter.
- The sample size for the training set: Not applicable, as this is not an AI/ML device.
- How the ground truth for the training set was established: Not applicable, as this is not an AI/ML device.

- with diameter of 14.50mm .
The lens material (paflufocon D hem-iberfilcon A) is identical to the predicate current material cleared under K051035 and K052675. There are no differences to the chemical composition, formulation, manufacturing process, packaging and sterilization as described in the referenced 510(k).
This lens material for the rigid portion is paflufocon D lathe cut, surrounded by soft hydrophilic copolymer (hem-iberfilcon A), sterilized by means of e-beam sterilization. When placed on the human cornea, the SynergEyes™Hybrid Contact Lens acts as a refracting medium to focus light rays onto the retina. The device is available as a lathe cut contact lens in the following design for post surgical refractive errors and trauma: multi concentric zones in blue visibility tinted material. This device is equivalent to the SynergEyes™ A and M Hybrid Contact Lens is material design and composition, and the SoftPerm® hybrid RGP manufactured by Ciba Vision Corporation.
The SynergEyes™ PS Hybrid Daily Wear Contact Lens center optical portion is a rigid gas permeable material of (paflulofon-D) polymer. TThe soft skirt is comprised of HEMA (hydroxyethylmethacrylate) of 27% water and 73% polymer.
The junction between the rigid material and soft material is bound by a proprietary chemical bonding method.
Here's a breakdown of the acceptance criteria and study information for the SynergEyes™ PS Hybrid Contact Lens, based on the provided document:
1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance
The document doesn't explicitly state "acceptance criteria" with numerical thresholds in the typical sense of a medical device submission beyond showing substantial equivalence to predicates. However, it evaluates safety and efficacy by tracking specific outcomes. I'll frame the reported device performance against generally understood good outcomes for contact lenses.
Performance Metric | Acceptance Criteria (Implied/Good Outcome) | Reported Device Performance (SynergEyes™ PS) |
---|---|---|
Safety | Low incidence of adverse events. | Adverse Events: 8 adverse events reported across 7 subjects (4 completed, 3 discontinued). Events included 1 painful light sensitivity, 1 loose interrupted suture and infiltrate, 1 corneal abrasion upon lens removal, 1 superficial abrasion, 1 subject (2 eyes) with corneal swelling due to inadequate rinsing of hydrogen peroxide solution, 1 allergic conjunctivitis, and 1 keratitis. |
Discontinuation due to Safety: Adverse events were a small portion of discontinuations. Specific adverse events like corneal swelling from disinfection solution indicate user error rather than intrinsic device failure. | ||
Efficacy: Visual Acuity | High percentage of subjects achieving excellent or good visual acuity (e.g., 20/20, 20/25). | Completed Subjects: |
- 20/20 or better: 20.0%
- 20/25 or better: 45.0%
- 20/30 or better: 68.8%
- 20/40 or better: 81.3%
Discontinued Subjects: - 20/20 or better: 8.6%
- 20/25 or better: 39.7%
- 20/30 or better: 53.4%
- 20/40 or better: 70.7%
3 completed eyes and 8 discontinued eyes had VA decreases of >2 lines (expected in this population). |
| Efficacy: Wearing Time | Acceptable daily wearing time for daily wear lenses (e.g., >8-10 hours). | Average daily wearing time: 10.6 hours per day for completed patients. |
| Comfort | Low rates of discomfort/awareness leading to discontinuation. | Discontinuation due to poor comfort: 27.5% of discontinuations.
Reported Symptoms (Completed Subjects): - Discomfort and awareness: 28.4%
- Dryness and scratchiness: 23.4%
- Itchiness and burning: 9.3%
- Variable vision: 8.2%
Symptoms decreased over time for completed eyes. |
| Overall Performance | Satisfactory performance and safe/effective use for intended purpose. | "The SynergEyes™ PS Hybrid Contact Lens for Post Surgical refractive error and cases involving trauma provided satisfactory performance as expected... Overall, the lens performance demonstrated safe and effective use of the device for its intended use." It notes the higher than estimated discontinuation rate was anticipated given the challenging patient population. |
2. Sample Size for Test Set and Data Provenance
- Sample Size for Test Set:
- Subjects: 76 subjects were dispensed into the study.
- Eyes: 80 eyes (from 44 completed subjects) reached study completion. The total number of eyes enrolled isn't explicitly stated but would be at least 76 (assuming one eye per subject) and up to 152. The "58 eyes" mentioned for discontinued subjects suggests that some subjects wore lenses in both eyes.
- Data Provenance: The study was a "three month clinical study," implying a prospective design within a controlled clinical environment (likely in the US, given the FDA submission). No specific country of origin is mentioned beyond the applicant's US address.
3. Number of Experts Used to Establish Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications
This is not applicable. The study is a clinical trial assessing the direct performance of the contact lens on patients. The "ground truth" is the actual patient experience and objective clinical measurements (visual acuity, adverse events) as documented by clinical investigators and optometrists/ophthalmologists involved in the study. There's no mention of independent experts establishing a "ground truth" for a diagnostic performance metric.
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set
This is not applicable, as it's a clinical trial for a contact lens, not a diagnostic device requiring adjudicated interpretations of images or data. Clinical investigators and study coordinators would have managed data collection and reported outcomes.
5. If a Multi Reader Multi Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study was done
No, a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was not done. This type of study is typically performed for diagnostic imaging devices where multiple readers interpret cases to assess diagnostic accuracy and inter-reader variability. This document describes a clinical trial for a contact lens.
6. If a Standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the loop performance) was done
No, a standalone algorithm performance study was not done. This document describes a clinical trial for a physical medical device (contact lens) worn by human patients, inherently involving human interaction (wearing, fitting, clinical evaluation).
7. The Type of Ground Truth Used
The "ground truth" in this context is based on clinical observation, patient-reported outcomes, and objective ophthalmological measurements collected during the prospective clinical study. This includes:
- Measurement of visual acuity (Snellen VA).
- Documentation of adverse events.
- Patient-reported symptoms and complaints (comfort, dryness, variable vision).
- Measured wearing time.
- Clinical assessments by practitioners (e.g., corneal health).
8. The Sample Size for the Training Set
This information is not provided and is not applicable in the context of this device submission. This device (contact lens) is a physical product, not an AI/ML-based algorithm that requires a "training set" in the computational sense. The document describes a clinical study to evaluate the device's performance, not to develop or train an algorithm.
9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set was Established
This information is not provided and is not applicable, as there is no "training set" for an AI/ML algorithm.
