#### VII. PERFORMANCE DATA

The following performance data were provided in support of the substantial equivalence determination.

# Biocompatibility Testing

The biocompatibility data provided for the Alevicyn SG Gel was conducted in accordance with the FDA Blue Book Memorandum #G95-1 "Use of International Standard ISO- 10993, 'Biological Evaluation of Medical Devices Part 1: Evaluation and Testing."" May 1, 1995, and International Standard ISO 10993-1 "Biological Evaluation of Medical Devices - Part 1: Evaluation and Testing Within a Risk Management Process," as recognized by FDA. The solution is considered a breached/compromised surface device with limited contact. Biocompatibility testing completed: Cytotoxicity -Agar Diffusion Test -ISO, Direct Systemic Injection Test -ISO, Primary Ocular Irritation - ISO, Direct Contact 7 Day Cumulative Skin Irritation Study on Wounded and Intact Skin, Direct Buehler Sensitization Test -ISO.

# Bench Testing

The following tests were reviewed to support the performance of Alevicyn SG Gel: package integrity, visual inspection, pH, Free Available Chlorine (FAC), and antimicrobial preservative effectiveness testing. The Alevicyn SG Gel meets specification and performance characteristics and is substantially equivalent to the predicate device.

#### VIII. CONCLUSION

Alevicyn SG Gel is substantially equivalent in intended use, technological characteristics, safety and effectiveness to the Epicyn Atopic Dermatitis Hydrogel manufactured by Oculus Innovative Sciences, Inc. (K102945). Therefore, the Oculus Alevicyn SG Gel is substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
