The Polaris Dial-a-Date Contact Lens Case is intended for the storage of soft (hydrophilic), rigid gas permeable, and/or hard contact lenses. Used for storage during chemical disinfection only. Not for use during heat disinfection.
Device Story
Polaris Dial-a-Date is a manual contact lens storage case. Device consists of a molded dual-compartment base and two screw-down lids. Each lid features a manual rotating dial marked with numbers (0-3 and 0-9) to allow users to set a reminder for lens replacement. Lenses are immersed in chemical disinfection solution within the compartments. Device is for OTC use by contact lens wearers. The outer lids and dials do not contact the lens care solution. The device provides a physical mechanism for tracking lens replacement schedules, aiding patient compliance with recommended replacement intervals.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Biocompatibility testing performed per ISO 10993-5 (cytotoxicity), ISO 10993-10 (skin sensitization and ocular irritation), and ISO 10993-11 (systemic toxicity) showed no adverse effects. Leakage testing conducted on 192 units (filled to 2/3 capacity, inverted for 15 minutes, repeated 3 times) demonstrated zero leakage.
Technological Characteristics
Materials: Polyolefin (>95%) and mixture (<5%). Dimensions: 69.50mm x 33.50mm x 18.91mm. Volume: 4.4 ml per side. Principle: Manual storage container with integrated mechanical dial for replacement tracking. Non-powered. Standalone device.
Indications for Use
Indicated for storage of soft (hydrophilic), rigid gas permeable, and hard contact lenses during chemical disinfection. Not for use with heat disinfection.

## Predicate Devices
Polaris Contact Lens Case (K093377) from Reliance Design & Manufacture Corp.
#### Intended Use
The Polaris Dial-a-Date Contact Lens Case is intended for the storage of soft (hydrophilic), rigid gas permeable, and/or hard contact lenses. Used for storage during chemical disinfection only. Not for use during heat disinfection.
#### Device Description
The Polaris Dial-a-Date contact lens case is a device for the storage of soft (hydrophilic) and rigid gas permeable contact lenses. Contact lenses can be fully immersed into the chamber and accommodates all lenses currently being sold in the market. The contact lens case consists of a molded dual compartment bottom base and two screwdown lids. The bottom of each compartment is marked with L (left) and R (right). The lids are also labeled with L (left) and R (right), and include a dial with molded-in numbers from 0 to 3 and 0 to 9, respectively. The outer lids are colored to make the molded-in numbers of the dials visible at the 'dialed position'. The dials can be incrementally rotated to let the user set reminders (i.e. day of the month to replace the contact lenses).
The outer lids and number dials do not come into contact with the lens care solution.

The case itself is a double-sided container, with two circular depressions for holding the lenses. Above each side of the case, there is a lens and a corresponding cap, with dashed lines indicating the alignment and assembly order of the components. The image illustrates how the lens and cap fit together into the case.

## Summary of Differences
The Polaris Dial-a-Date Contact Lens Case differs from its predicate device POLARIS (201) in some aspects that however do not affect its safety or performance. The differences are as follows:
- a) the Polaris Dial-a-Date (202) has a moveable part on the top lid to set a reminder while the predicate device POLARIS (201) has a plain top
- b) the dimensions length, height and width differ slightly
- c) the compartment volume is larger: 4.4 ml vs. 3.0 ml
## Summary of Non-Clinical Data Submitted
The following testing has been performed to support substantial equivalence:
- · Biocompatibility Testing according to the applicable standards, as described in Section 15 Biocompatibility
- Leakage Testing, as described in Section 18 Performance Testing Bench Studies

#### Biocompatibility Testing
The Polaris Dial-a-Date contact lens case has been evaluated for biocompatibility in accordance with Part 10993 of the ISO Standard tests, which include:
- . ISO 10993-5:1999, Biological evaluation of medical devices -- Part 5: Tests for In Vitro Cytotoxicity.
The test article did not induce cytotoxic effects and did not inhibit cell proliferation after being exposed for 24 to 48 hours in L929 colorectal carcinoma cells
- ISO 10993-10:2006, Biological evaluation of medical devices Part 10: Tests for . irritation and delayed-type hypersensitivity (Skin Sensitization). Under the conditions of this study, the test article extracted by Sodium Chloride 0.9% Inj. showed no evidence of causing delayed dermal contact sensitization in guinea pigs.
- . ISO 10993-10:2006, Biological evaluation of medical devices - Part 10: Tests for irritation and delayed-type hypersensitivity (Ocular Irritation). All grades of ocular irritation calculated by maximum average score were zero. Based on the conditions and results of the study, the test article extract administered to NZW rabbits by ocular instillation did not cause any observable irritation response in vivo. All data generated from this study will provide as safety reference for human exposure.
- . ISO 10993-11:2006, Biological evaluation of medical devices -- Part 11: Tests for systemic toxicity.
Under the conditions of this study, there was no mortality or evidence of systemic toxicity from the test article extract injected into ICR mice. All data generated from this study will provide as safety criteria for human exposure.
- . ISO 10993-12:2007, Biological evaluation of medical devices -- Part 12: Sample preparation and reference materials. (Biocompatibility).
#### Leakage Testing
Production units of the Polaris Dial-a-Date contact lens case have undergone leakage testing
The Polaris Dial-a-Date contact lens case was tested for leakage following a written test protocol. 192 combinations of different tops and bottoms were filled to 2/3 with liquid. Each set was turned upside down for 15 minutes and the tests were repeated 3 times. None of the tested lens cases showed any leakage and all of the Leakage Tests passed successfully. The results were documented
The Polaris Dial-a-Date Contact Lens Case complies with the voluntary standards as detailed in Section 9 Declarations of Conformity and Summary Reports of this submission.

# Safety and Effectiveness
By definition, a device is substantially equivalent to a predicate device when the device has the same intended use and the same technological characteristics as the previously cleared predicate device, or has the same intended use and different technological characteristics, and it can be demonstrated that the device is substantially equivalent to the predicate device, and that the new device does not raise different questions regarding its safety and effectiveness as compared to the predicate device.
It has been shown in this 510(k) submission that the differences between the Polaris Diala-Date Contact Lens Case and the predicate device do not raise any questions regarding its safety and effectiveness. The Polaris Dial-a-Date Contact Lens Case, as designed and manufactured, therefore is determined to be substantially equivalent to the referenced predicate device.

Dear Ms. Tontini:
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.
