The NaturalVue (etafilcon A) Daily Disposable Soft (Hydrophilic) Contact Lenses are visibilitytinted, containing a UV blocker and are available in a spheric, toric, multifocal, and multifocal toric designs. They are manufactured by cast molding method. The device is an ionic hydrogel lens derived from etafilcon A which is a co-polymer of 2-Hydroxyethylmethacrylate (2-HEMA) and Methacrylic Acid (MAA), cross-linked with ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (EGDMA) and 1.1.1-trimethylolpropane trimethacrylate (TMPTMA) via photo-polymerization. The copolymer consists of 42% etafilcon A and 58% water by weight when immersed in normal buffered saline solution. The lenses are tinted blue using C.I. Reactive Blue 19 to make them more visible for handling. The lenses contain a UV blocker, a benzotriazole UV absorbing monomer to block UV radiation. The average transmittance characteristics of the lenses are less than 5% in the UVB range of 280-315nm and less than 30% in the UVA range of 316-380nm. Each lens is supplied sterile in a blister pack containing buffered saline solution with Tween 80, Sodium Hyaluronate, and Polyethylene Glycol.

The provided text describes a 510(k) premarket notification for NaturalVue (etafilcon A) Daily Disposable Soft (Hydrophilic) Contact Lenses. The submission asserts substantial equivalence to a predicate device (K150385) with the addition of a modified saline solution.

Here's an analysis of the acceptance criteria and study data provided:

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

The acceptance criteria presented are in the form of material properties and performance characteristics, demonstrating equivalence to the predicate device.

Additional Performance Tests (Qualitative/Binary):

• Biocompatibility: Negative responses for cytotoxicity, maximization, and ocular irritation tests. Validity of blister packaging demonstrated by passing extraction tests. (Applies to both proposed and predicate as they share the same material).
• Microbiology (Sterilization): Steam sterilization validated to deliver minimum SAL of 10⁻⁶. Shelf-life stability supports sterility through expiration.
• Bacteriostatic Validation: Steam sterilizer effectiveness confirmed. Microorganisms killed under tested conditions. Lenses remained sterilized with no microbial growth for 5 years (accelerated conditions). Package seal remained tight for 5 years (accelerated conditions).
• Leachability: No leachable monomers and additive residues at detected levels.

2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance

The provided document describes non-clinical performance tests for material properties, biocompatibility, microbiology, bacteriostatic validation, and leachability. It does not describe a "test set" in the context of an algorithm or diagnostic device. Instead, it refers to the product itself and its components undergoing various testing.

• Sample Size: The document does not specify exact sample sizes for each non-clinical test (e.g., how many lenses were tested for water content, or how many individual cytotoxicity tests were conducted). It only states that "All tests were conducted in accordance with the May 1994 FDA Guidance Document for Daily Wear Contact Lenses."
• Data Provenance: The tests are described as being performed to demonstrate safety and effectiveness of the NaturalVue (etafilcon A) Daily Disposable Soft (Hydrophilic) Contact Lenses. The data originates from these non-clinical studies conducted by or for Visioneering Technologies, Inc. There is no mention of country of origin for the underlying data, but the submission is to the U.S. FDA. The data is implicitly prospective in the sense that these tests were performed on the device or its components to support this specific 510(k) submission, rather than re-analyzing existing data.

3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications of those Experts

This question is not applicable to this submission. The device is a contact lens, not an AI/diagnostic algorithm that requires expert-established ground truth for its performance evaluation in the way a medical image analysis software would. The "ground truth" for contact lenses is established through standardized physical, chemical, and biological testing methods (e.g., measuring water content, oxygen permeability, cytotoxicity, sterility).

4. Adjudication Method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the Test Set

This question is not applicable as there is no "test set" in the context of human expert review and adjudication for an AI/diagnostic algorithm. The non-clinical tests described have quantifiable outcomes or pass/fail criteria based on established scientific methods.

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 question is not applicable. The device is a contact lens and does not involve AI or human readers for diagnostic interpretation.

6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done

This question is not applicable. The device is a contact lens and does not involve an algorithm.

7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.)

For the non-clinical tests performed, the "ground truth" is based on:

• Established scientific methodologies and standards: For material properties (e.g., water content, refractive index, oxygen permeability, transmittance), the ground truth is the measured physical/chemical properties.
• Validated biological tests: For biocompatibility (cytotoxicity, maximization, ocular irritation), the ground truth is the biological response observed in animal or in-vitro models according to recognized standards.
• Sterilization validation standards: For microbiology, the ground truth is the demonstration of a specific sterility assurance level (SAL).
• Analytical chemistry techniques: For leachability, the ground truth is the detection or non-detection of leachable substances.

8. The sample size for the training set

This question is not applicable. The device is a contact lens and does not involve a "training set" for an AI algorithm.

9. How the ground truth for the training set was established

This question is not applicable. The device is a contact lens and does not involve a "training set" for an AI algorithm.

Summary of the Study and Conclusion:

The study presented is a non-clinical evaluation to demonstrate the substantial equivalence of the NaturalVue (etafilcon A) Daily Disposable Soft (Hydrophilic) Contact Lenses to a previously cleared predicate device (K150385). The central argument for substantial equivalence relies on:

• Identical material composition (etafilcon A): The USAN name, material classification (Group 4 high water ionic), water content (58%), refractive index (1.4023), oxygen permeability (19.73 x 10⁻¹¹), % T at 593nm (>95%), UVA transmittance (<30%), and UVB transmittance (<5%) are all identical to the predicate device.
• Identical production method: Cast-molded.
• Identical range of lens designs.
• Historical Clinical Use: The submission leverages the well-established safety and effectiveness of etafilcon A lenses, citing several predicate and reference devices, including the K150385.
• Non-Clinical Performance Tests: Comprehensive testing was conducted in accordance with FDA guidance for daily wear contact lenses, covering:
  • Material Properties: Confirmed the listed characteristics are equivalent to the predicate.
  • Biocompatibility: Demonstrated material safety based on negative responses in cytotoxicity, maximization, and ocular irritation tests.
  • Microbiology: Validated the steam sterilization process to achieve a minimum SAL of 10⁻⁶ and confirmed shelf-life sterility.
  • Bacteriostatic Validation: Confirmed sterilizer effectiveness and lens sterility/package integrity over time (accelerated conditions).
  • Leachability: Showed no detectable leachable monomers or additive residues.
• Modification: The only significant difference highlighted is the modified saline solution (addition of Tween 80, Sodium Hyaluronate, and Polyethylene Glycol), which was previously cleared under K161739, implying its safety and compatibility.

The conclusion is that based on these performance and manufacturing verification studies, the proposed device is equivalent to the predicate device with respect to intended use, principles of operation, and technological characteristics, especially given the prior clearance of the modified saline solution.
