BOSTON XO (hexafocon A) Contact Lens Material is indicated for daily wear for the correction of refractive ametropia (myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism and presbyopia) in aphakic and not-aphakic persons with nondiseased eyes. The lens may be disinfected using a chemical disinfecting system only.
Device Story
BOSTON XO is a rigid gas permeable (RGP) contact lens material composed of hexafocon A (aliphatic fluoroitaconate siloxanyl methacrylate copolymer). Designed for daily wear, the lens corrects refractive errors including myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism, and presbyopia. It is intended for use in aphakic and non-aphakic patients with healthy eyes. The material features high oxygen permeability (DK 100) and is hydrophobic with <1% water content. The device is supplied dry and requires chemical disinfection by the user. Clinical performance is evaluated through visual acuity, refractive changes, and slit lamp findings. The lens provides a vision correction benefit to patients by compensating for refractive ametropia.
Clinical Evidence
Clinical study included 128 eyes (64 patients) with 102 eyes (51 patients) completing the study. Safety endpoints included adverse events, slit lamp findings, symptoms, and keratometry changes. Efficacy endpoints included refractive changes, visual acuity, lens deposits, and wettability. Results concluded the material is equivalent in safety and efficacy to the predicate device. Bench testing included USP Agar Diffusion Cytotoxicity, acute ocular irritation, systemic injection, and 30-cycle solution compatibility testing, showing no significant changes to lens parameters.
Technological Characteristics
Material: hexafocon A (aliphatic fluoroitaconate siloxanyl methacrylate copolymer). DK: 100. Specific gravity: 1.26. Visible light transmittance: >=70%. Water content: <1%. Form factor: Rigid gas permeable contact lens. Sterilization: Shipped dry; requires chemical disinfection. Color additives conform to 21 CFR 74.3206.
Indications for Use
Indicated for daily wear correction of myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism, and presbyopia in aphakic and non-aphakic patients with nondiseased eyes. Contraindicated for use with non-chemical disinfection systems.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A rigid gas permeable contact lens is a device intended to be worn directly against the cornea of the eye to correct vision conditions. The device is made of various materials, such as cellulose acetate butyrate, polyacrylate-silicone, or silicone elastomers, whose main polymer molecules generally do not absorb or attract water.

#### 4. PREDICATE DEVICE:
BOSTON ES (enflufocon A) has been selected as the predicate device for BOSTON XO (hexafocon A).
#### 5. DESCRIPTION OF THE DEVICE:
The BOSTON XO Contact Lens Material, hexafocon A, is composed of aliphatic fluoroitaconate siloxanyl methacrylate copolymer.
The color additives conform to 21 CFR part 74.3206. The hexafocon A material has an oxygen permeability, DK of 100, a specific gravity of 1.26, and the lens visible light transmittance of at least 70%. The hexafocon A name has been adopted by the United States Adopted Names Council (USAN).

#### 6. INDICATIONS FOR USE:
The BOSTON XO contact lens material is indicated for daily wear for the correction of refractive ametropia (myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism and presbyopia) in aphakic and not-aphakic persons with nondiseased eyes. The lens may be disinfected using a chemical disinfection system only.
### Description of Safety and Substantial Equivalence: 7.
A series of preclinical testing were performed to demonstrate the safety and effectiveness of the BOSTON XO contact lens material. The results of all testing demonstrated that the safety and effectiveness of the BOSTON XO is equivalent to the currently marketed BOSTON ES contact lens material. A summary of these results from the preclinical studies is presented below.
### Toxicology:
### In-Vitro Cytotoxicity:
USP Agar Diffusion Cytotoxicity was completed in accordance with USP XXII. The test article meets the requirements of the Agar Diffusion Test.
### Acute Ocular Irritation:
Acute Ocular Irritation test was performed and produced no ocular irritation.
### Systemic Injection
The lens material meets the requirements of the Systemic Injection Test and is considered non-toxic.
### Shelf Life:
The BOSTON XO (hexafocon A) is a hydrophobic rigid gas permeable contact lens material with <1% water content. This material will be shipped dry. The data presented supports substantial equivalence of this BOSTON XO (hexafocon A) contact lens material to the already marketed BOSTON ES (enflufocon A) contact lens material. Based on the Premarket Notification Guidance Document for Daily Wear Contact Lenses, May 12, 1994, shelf-life studies are not required for clearance of this material.

# Solution Compatibility:
Studies were conducted on blue tinted lens material with the ultraviolet light absorber. Lenses were run through 30 cycles of cleaning and light uboorben - Establish the compatibility of the lens material with the conditioning to octabligion. The parameters of ultraviolet and visible light (UV/vis) spectra, base curve, lens diameter, power and surface inguality were recorded prior to and upon completion of 30 cycles. Initial quality were rooorded phot to . There were no significant changes to lens parameters after 30 complete cycles.
# Clinical Testing
Below is a summary of the clinical study carried out to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the BOSTON XO (hexafocon A) contact lens material and onloady of a daily wear contact lens for the correction of visual acuity.
A total of 128 eyes (64 patients) were entered into the study by 3 Investigators. Prior to entry into this study each patient was required to read and sign a Statement of Informed Consent. All patients who signed a Statement of Informed Consent are accounted for in this report. Of the 128 eyes (64 patients enrolled), 102 eyes (51 patients) completed the study.
The safety and efficacy measures for this study were:
Safety: Adverse Events, Positive Slit Lamp Findings, Symptoms/Complaints and Keratometry Changes
Efficacy: Refractive Changes, Lens Visual Acuity, Lens VA Line Changes, Lens Deposits, and Lens Wettability.
The sponsor concludes that BOSTON XO (hexafocon A) contact lens material is equivalent in safety and efficacy to the predicate device, Boston ES (enflufocon A).
#### SUBSTANTIAL EQUIVALENCE 8.
The BOSTON XO contact lens material is substantially equivalent to the currently marketed BOSTON ES contact lens material, which was cleared in 510(k) Premarket Notification No. K943177 on August 25, 1994. The difference between the two devices is a change in the components.
