Intended Use
The BOSTON® EQUALENS® II (oprifocon A) RGP contact lens is indicated for daily wear for the correction of refractive ametropia (myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism and presbyopia) in aphakic and not-aphakic persons with non-diseased eyes. The lens may be disinfected using a chemical disinfection system only.
Device Story
Rigid gas permeable (RGP) contact lens; material composed of methyl methacrylate fluoroitaconate siloxanyl copolymer with UV absorber. Corrects refractive errors (myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism, presbyopia) in aphakic/non-aphakic patients. Daily wear; chemical disinfection only. Prescribed by eye care professionals. Benefits include vision correction via rigid lens optics.
Clinical Evidence
Safety and efficacy established via Premarket Application P860022 and subsequent supplements (S007, S016, S054). No new clinical data provided in this 510(k).
Technological Characteristics
Material: methyl methacrylate fluoroitaconate siloxanyl copolymer with UV absorber. Specific gravity: 1.24. Refractive index: 1.423. Water content: <1%. Oxygen permeability (Dk): 127 (gas to gas) or 85 (ISO/Fatt). Designs: spherical, aspherical, toric, bifocal/multifocal.
Indications for Use
Indicated for daily wear correction of refractive ametropia (myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism, presbyopia) in aphakic and non-aphakic persons with non-diseased eyes.
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.

Dear Ms. Ketchum:
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
