Device Story
Hemispherical soft (hydrophilic) contact lens; etafilcon A copolymer material; visibility tinted with Reactive Blue Dye #4; incorporates benzotriazole UV-absorbing monomer. Available in spherical, bifocal, and toric configurations. Designed for daily disposable wear to correct refractive errors. Prescribed by eye care professionals; patient self-applied. Provides vision correction and UV radiation protection for the cornea/eye. Discarded after single use.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data required; substantial equivalence established via bench testing (toxicology, physical/chemical, stability) and identical technological characteristics to the predicate device.
Technological Characteristics
Material: etafilcon A (copolymer of 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate and methacrylic acid cross-linked with 1,1,1-trimethylol propane trimethacrylate and ethylene glycol trimethacrylate). Water content: 58%. Refractive index: 1.40. Dk/t: 28.0 x 10^-11. UV blocker: benzotriazole monomer. Form factor: hemispherical shell. Sterilization: standard process identical to predicate.
Indications for Use
Indicated for daily wear correction of refractive ametropia (myopia/hyperopia), presbyopia, and astigmatism (up to 10.00D) in aphakic or non-aphakic persons with non-diseased eyes. Includes UV protection. Prescribed for daily disposable wear; discard after each removal.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A soft (hydrophilic) contact lens is a device intended to be worn directly against the cornea and adjacent limbal and scleral areas of the eye to correct vision conditions or act as a therapeutic bandage. The device is made of various polymer materials the main polymer molecules of which absorb or attract a certain volume (percentage) of water.
