    • Toric Axis options: .
    • . Multifocal Add:

    10° to 180° (10° steps).

    Lens "LOW" = "low" for spectacle near ADD lens (Max +2.25 ADD) Lens "HIGH" = "high" for spectacle near ADD lens (+2.50 ADD or greater)

    The physical/optical properties of the lenses are:

    • Refractive Index: 1.4003
    • %Transmittance @ 590nm: 98.13

    AI/ML Overview

    The provided document describes the K130342 510(k) summary for the Sauflon Clariti (somofilcon A) Soft (hydrophilic) Contact Lens with UV Blocker. It focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to predicate devices, primarily through physicochemical and toxicological studies, and a human clinical study.

    Here's an analysis of the acceptance criteria and the study that proves the device meets them, based on the provided text:

    1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

    The document doesn't explicitly state "acceptance criteria" for the clinical study in a quantifiable manner (e.g., "minimum visual acuity improvement of X"). Instead, it focuses on demonstrating safety, acceptability, and substantial equivalence. However, we can infer some performance metrics from the physicochemical properties table and the overall conclusion.

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

    • Sample Size for Test Set: The document states that "A clinical study was conducted." However, it does not provide the specific sample size (number of subjects/eyes) used in this human clinical study.
    • Data Provenance: The document does not explicitly state the country of origin. It mentions Sauflon Pharmaceuticals Ltd's address in Twickenham, Middlesex, England, implying the study might have been conducted in the UK or under their oversight. The study appears to be prospective, as it involved subjects using the lenses and a predicate device under specific daily wear conditions.

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

    This type of information is generally found in detailed clinical study protocols and reports, which are not fully provided in this 510(k) summary. The summary does not specify the number of experts or their qualifications involved in establishing "ground truth" for the clinical safety and efficacy evaluation. Clinical studies for contact lenses typically involve ophthalmologists or optometrists for examinations and evaluations.

    4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

    The document does not describe any specific adjudication method (e.g., 2+1, 3+1) for the clinical study's results. The statement "The results of this study showed the safety, acceptability and substantial equivalence..." implies a comprehensive evaluation of the collected data, but the method of resolving discrepancies or forming consensus is not detailed.

    5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study Was Done, and the Effect Size

    No, a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was not done. This type of study typically assesses diagnostic performance of an imaging device interpreted by multiple readers. The device in question is a contact lens, and the study was a clinical trial evaluating safety and efficacy, not diagnostic interpretation. Therefore, there's no mention of effect size related to human readers improving with or without AI assistance, as AI is not a component of this device.

    6. If a Standalone (Algorithm Only Without Human-in-the-Loop Performance) Was Done

    No, a standalone (algorithm only) performance study was not done. This device is a medical device (contact lens) and does not involve an AI algorithm or software that operates independently. Its performance is evaluated through its physical and optical properties and its interaction with the human eye in a clinical setting.

    7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

    For the physicochemical studies, the "ground truth" is established through standardized laboratory test methods (e.g., Fatt Method for oxygen permeability, spectrophotometry for light transmittance).

    For the human clinical study, the "ground truth" for safety and efficacy is based on clinical observation, patient feedback, and examinations by eye care professionals. This would typically involve assessments of visual acuity, lens fit, comfort, adverse events, integrity of ocular tissues, and comparison to the predicate device's performance in the same subjects. The conclusion states "safety, acceptability and substantial equivalence," indicating these clinical observations served as the ground truth.

    8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

    This information is not applicable as the device is a contact lens and does not involve a "training set" in the context of machine learning or AI algorithms. The clinical study performed functions as a validation study.

    9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established

    This information is not applicable for the same reason as point 8.
