Silicone eye sphere implants are permanent implants that occupy the eye cavity when it becomes necessary to surgically remove the eye (enucleation), the contents of the eye sac (evisceration), or the space left after the removal of another ocular implant (used as a secondary implant). It is used to replace volume and possibly, given the surgical method, to impart motion to the eventual ocular prosthesis.
Device Story
Silicone eye sphere implants are permanent, solid silicone elastomer spheres used to occupy the eye cavity following enucleation or evisceration; they replace lost volume and may facilitate motion of an eventual ocular prosthesis. The device is provided non-sterile and must be steam-autoclaved by the ophthalmologist prior to surgical implantation in a hospital setting. The device is available in sizes ranging from 12mm to 22mm. The current submission reflects a change in material grade and supplier compared to the predicate, with no changes to the fundamental scientific technology, intended use, or clinical application. The device is inert, biocompatible, and intended for single use.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data provided. Substantial equivalence is supported by biocompatibility testing of the new silicone resin grade and comparison of physical/mechanical properties to the predicate device.
Technological Characteristics
Solid silicone elastomer spheres; sizes 12-22mm. Inert, biocompatible material. Non-sterile; requires user-performed steam autoclave sterilization. No electrical, electronic, or software components. Complies with ISO 14971 risk management standards.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients of all ages requiring ocular volume replacement following enucleation, evisceration, or as a secondary implant after removal of a previous ocular implant.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
An eye sphere implant is a device intended to be implanted in the eyeball to occupy space following the removal of the contents of the eyeball with the sclera left intact.
Special Controls
*Classification.* Class II (special controls). The device, when it is an ocular peg which is supplied sterile only, is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 886.9.

This is a submission for a special 510(k) for our Silicone Eye sphere implants, which were previously cleared by FDA in 2004 (K040689). The basis for this submission is change of material grade and supplier, as the resin's manufacturer is discontinuing the current silicone grade. There is also a change for labeling and packaging. According to guidance "Deciding When to submit a 510(k) for a Change to an Existing Device" (CDRH, 1997), we determined that this change must be submitted to FDA prior to market in USA (paragraph C3).
This material change does not affect the intended use, and does not alter the fundamental scientific technology of the device, therefore we are eligible to Special 510(k) approach.
We have determined that both silicone elastomers are equivalent and do not represent additional risk for the user.

#### Intended use
Silicone eye sphere implants are permanent implants that occupy the eye cavity when it becomes necessary to surqically remove the eye (enucleation), the contents of the eve sac (evisceration), or the space left after the removal of another ocular implant (used as a secondary implant). It is used to replace volume and possibly, given the surgical method, to impart motion to the eventual ocular prosthesis.
Image /page/1/Picture/4 description: The image shows a circle with the word "SILICONE" written around the top of the circle. There is a curved shape inside the circle. The circle has a shadow on the bottom right.
Silicone eye spheres have been used for decades and still are. As for any implant, spheres are single use. Users are ophthalmologists who are very qualified to use eve spheres. Furthermore, we provide instructions for use with each device. These instructions include:

No performance standards applicable to SPHERE, EYE IMPLANT has been assigned by FDA. However, a risk assessment has been performed against ISO 14971.
## Sterility
Silicone spheres are sold «Non Sterile». The labels clearly mention that they are not sterilized. Sterilization of these implants is required before surgery.
## Pyrogens
Non applicable. These devices are labeled as non-sterile and need to be sterilized by the user.
## Sterilization by User
The standard accepted sterilization method is to be performed in the hospitals that will purchase the implants. We provide detailed validated steam sterilization instructions in our labeling for the silicone spheres.
