Intended Use
Menicon Z™ (tisilfocon A) spherical, aspheric, prism ballast toric and prism ballast multifocal lenses are indicated for daily wear for the correction of refractive error (myopia, hyperopia, presbyopia and/or astigmatism) in aphakic and non-aphakic persons with non-diseased eyes. Menicon Z™ (tisilfocon A) spherical, aspheric, non-prism ballast toric and non-prism ballast multifocal corneal lenses are indicated for extended wear (from 1 to 30 days between removals for cleaning and disinfection of the lenses, as recommended by the eyecare professional) for the correction of refractive error (myopia, hyperopia, presbyopia and/or astigmatism) in non-aphakic persons with non-diseased eyes. The lenses may be prescribed for daily wear in otherwise non-diseased eyes that require a rigid contact lens for the management of irregular corneal conditions such as keratoconus, pellucid marginal degeneration, or following penetrating keratoplasty or refractive (e.g., LASIK) surgery. The lens may be prescribed in spherical and aspheric powers ranging from -25.00 D to +25.00 D for daily wear and -25.00 D to +8.00 D for up to 30 days extended wear. Toric lenses are designed to correct up to 5.00 D of astigmatism and multifocal lenses to provide up to +3.00 D of reading add power for up to 30 days extended wear. The lens may be disinfected using a chemical disinfection system only.
Device Story
Menicon Z is a rigid gas permeable (RGP) contact lens made of tisilfocon A, a thermoset fluoromethacrylate and siloxanylstyrene copolymer. Lenses are prescribed by eyecare professionals for daily or extended wear (up to 30 days) to correct refractive errors or manage irregular corneal conditions. The device functions by resting on the cornea to provide refractive correction. It is tinted light blue with D&C Green No. 6 and includes a benzotriazol UV absorber. The lens is disinfected via chemical systems. It provides high oxygen permeability to support corneal health during wear.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical study data required for this clearance as no new or additional questions of safety or effectiveness were raised compared to previously cleared predicate devices.
Technological Characteristics
Material: Tisilfocon A (thermoset copolymer of fluoromethacrylate and siloxanylstyrene). Additives: D&C Green No. 6 (colorant), benzotriazol (UV absorber). Properties: High oxygen permeability (Dk 189/163), low water content (<0.5%), specific gravity 1.20, refractive index 1.436. Form factor: Spherical, aspheric, toric, and multifocal designs. Sterilization: Provided non-sterile.
Indications for Use
Indicated for aphakic and non-aphakic persons with non-diseased eyes requiring correction of myopia, hyperopia, presbyopia, or astigmatism. Also indicated for management of irregular corneal conditions including keratoconus, pellucid marginal degeneration, or post-surgical (penetrating keratoplasty/LASIK) 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.
