#### Comparison to Predicate Devices:
The API devices have the same intended use, similar design and materials as the predicate devices and are substantially equivalent with regards to safety and effectiveness.
Discussion of Non-Clinical Tests Performed in Determination of Substantial Equivalence:
Biocompatibility testing performed by third party laboratories demonstrated the materials are safe for use in contact lens storage and disinfection.
The applicant contact lens cases were subjected to an 8 hour leak test to ensure devices are effective against leaking. All Soft Grip, Deluxe, and Econo-Mate contact lens cases meet leak test criteria per test plan and have demonstrated to be effective against leaking.

Dear Mr. Sheth:
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. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls.

In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); medical device reporting (reporting of medical
