Intended Use
The Acuity 18™ (enflufocon A) Rigid Gas Permeable Contact Lens 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. The lens may be prescribed in spherical and aspheric powers ranging from -20.00 D to +20.00 D for daily wear. 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 disinfected using a chemical disinfection system only.
Device Story
Acuity 18 (enflufocon A) is a rigid gas permeable (RGP) contact lens; lathe-cut from siloxanyl fluoroitaconate copolymer; incorporates UV absorber. Designed for daily wear; corrects refractive errors and manages irregular corneal conditions. Prescribed by eye care professionals; patient self-applied. Lens geometry includes spherical, toric, multifocal, and aspheric surfaces. Provides vision correction through physical refraction of light; oxygen permeability allows corneal respiration. Benefits patients by providing rigid optical surface for irregular corneas or standard refractive correction.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. No clinical data required as material and optical design are substantially equivalent to the predicate. Biocompatibility testing performed per ISO 10993-1 (2009) and FDA Daily Wear Contact Lens Guidance (1994).
Technological Characteristics
Material: enflufocon A (siloxanyl fluoroitaconate copolymer). Design: Lathe-cut RGP; spherical, toric, multifocal, aspheric. UV blocking: Yes. Oxygen permeability: 21. Refractive index: 1.445. Hardness: 84 Shore D. Modulus: 1739 MPa. Specific gravity: 1.22. Water content: <1%. Disinfection: Chemical only.
Indications for Use
Indicated for daily wear correction of refractive error (myopia, hyperopia, presbyopia, astigmatism) in aphakic and non-aphakic persons with non-diseased eyes; also for management of irregular corneal conditions (keratoconus, pellucid marginal degeneration, post-penetrating keratoplasty, or post-refractive surgery).
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.

These devices will not be marketed with multiple components or any required accessories.
# 9. Intended Use
The Acuity 18™ (enflufocon A) Rigid Gas Permeable Contact Lens 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. The lens may be prescribed in spherical and aspheric powers ranging from -20.00 D to +20.00 D for daily wear. 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 disinfected using a chemical disinfection system only.
# 10. Predicate Devices:
The Acuity 18™ (enflufocon A) RGP contact lenses for daily wear are substantially equivalent to the Boston ES (enflufocon A) Daily Wear Contact Lens (K943177). This lens was selected because it is made from an identical material and has optics designed to address the same Indications for Use.
# 11. Substantial Equivalence
Substantial equivalence is based on:
For design: The predicate lenses, the Boston ES RGP lenses for daily wear, have a standard or reverse lens geometry with an anterior aspheric optic surface. The new lenses, the Acuity 18™ RGP lenses for daily wear have the same substantially equivalent standard or reverse geometry with an anterior optic surface design.
For material: The predicate lens materials are comprised of a siloxanyl fluoroitaconate copolymer (enflufocon A). The new lens material also is comprised of a siloxanyl fluoroitaconate copolymer (enflufocon A).
The new lenses in this submission therefore are substantially equivalent to the lenses cleared under K943177.
# 12. Non-Clinical Studies
The enflufocon A lens material manufactured by Acuity Polymers, Inc. has been tested and found to meet the biocompatibility requirements listed in the FDA Daily Wear Contact Lens Guidance Document, May 1994 and ISO 10993-1 (2009) for a surface device, limited contact. The chemical, mechanical and optical characteristics of the new lens have been shown to be equivalent to the predicate lenses.

# Conclusions
In the evaluation of RGP materials, various properties are measured to ascertain the material's ability to meet the intended application requirements. The properties which characterize the materials classification and use are refractive index, oxygen permeability, specific gravity, hardness, modulus and water content. Those properties are described in the above comparison table. These properties or characteristics are important to the function of the final lens and form the basis for the determination of use. These material values meet the minimum values required for use in the manufacture (lathing) of RGP lenses.
Based on the data generated from the chemical/physical testing (See Side by Side Comparison) of Acuity 18TM (enflufocon A) Rigid Gas Permeable Contact Lens, it is concluded that the material and contact lens made thereof meet the requirements of a daily wear rigid contact lens and is substantially equivalent to Boston ESTM (aka Boston 7-30) (enflufocon A) Daily Wear Contact Lens.
