Manufacturer: Interojo Inc.

07. Device Description
The P-CON (polymacon) Soft (hydrophilic) Contact Lenses (Tinted, Color) is manufactured using the cast molding method. The hydrophilic characteristics allow aqueous solutions to enter the lens. The lenses are fabricated from polymacon, which is a random copolymer of 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) crosslinked with ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (EGDMA). The co-polymer consists of 62% polymacon and 38% water by weight when immersed in 0.9% saline solution. The polymacon name has been adopted by the United States Adopted Names Council (USAN).

{5}

The P-CON (polymacon) Soft (hydrophilic) Contact Lenses (Tinted, Color) is available clear or tinted for visibility using phthalocyanine blue, tinted in unique pattern to enhance or alter the apparent color of the eye. Each unique pattern may be distributed under unique or "private label" trade names. The lenses are processed to incorporate the 'listed' color additives and contain only the amount of the additive needed to accomplish the intended coloring effect. The lenses contain one or a combination of one or more of the following 'listed' color additives:

| Color Additive | Listing |
| --- | --- |
| C.I Reactive Black 5 | 21 CFR 73.3127 |
| Titanium Dioxide (TiO2) | 21 CFR 73.3126 |
| Carbazole Violet (i.e.,C.I Pigment Violet 23) | 21 CFR 73.3107 |
| Phthalocyanine green (i.e.,C.I Pigment Green 7) | 21 CFR 73.3124 |
| D&C Yellow No. 10 | 21 CFR 74.3710 |
| D&C Red No. 17 | 21 CFR 74.3230 |
| [Phthalocyaninato (2-)] Copper (i.e.,C.I Pigment Blue 15) | 21 CFR 74.3045 |

When producing the color lenses, the manufacturing process changes the specifications of the clear lens by pad-printing the color pigment(s)—entrapping the colorants in the interpenetrating network of the contact lens material—in a location that corresponds to the iris. The color pigments used are not removed by lens handling and cleaning/disinfecting procedures. Except for affecting the amount of light transmittance through the lens, the coloring process does not alter the original characteristics of the clear, pre-tinted lens.

Eye care practitioners may prescribe the lenses in a frequent/planned replacement program with cleaning, disinfection, and scheduled replacement. When prescribed for frequent/planned replacement wear, the lens may be disinfected using a chemical disinfecting system.

## 08. Non-Clinical Test Conclusion

Bench tests were conducted to verify that the subject device met all design specifications as was Substantially Equivalent (SE) to the predicate device. The test results demonstrated that the subject device complies with the following standards:

### Biocompatibility:

Biocompatibility testing was conducted in accordance with the ISO 10993 series and GLP (Good Laboratory Practice) regulations. Packaging material testing was conducted using the big blister configuration.

The following tests were performed:

- Cytotoxicity: Testing conducted in accordance with ISO 10993-5 confirmed that both the finished lens extracts and packaging material extracts (Big blister and Aluminum foil seal) were non-cytotoxic.
- Sensitization: Testing conducted in accordance with ISO 10993-10 confirmed that the lens extracts did not induce sensitization.
- Acute Ocular Irritation: Testing conducted in accordance with ISO 10993-23 confirmed that both the finished lens extracts and packaging material extracts (Big blister and Aluminum foil seal) were non-irritating.
- Acute Systemic Toxicity (mouse): Testing conducted in accordance with ISO 10993-11 confirmed that both the finished lens extracts and packaging material extracts (Big blister and Aluminum foil seal) were non-toxic.
- Material-Mediated Pyrogenicity (rabbit): Testing conducted in accordance with ISO 10993-11 confirmed that the finished lenses did not induce a pyrogenic response.
- Determination of Biocompatibility of Contact Lenses in Rabbit Eyes: Testing conducted in accordance with ISO 9394 confirmed that the finished lenses were non-toxic.
- Primary Packaging Biocompatibility: Cytotoxicity, acute systemic toxicity, and ocular irritation testing were conducted on the big blister and foil seal (without the lens), and all packaging components were found to be non-cytotoxic, non-irritating, and non-toxic.

The small blister configuration utilizes the same raw materials, laminate structure, and manufacturing process as the big blister. Given that the big blister has a larger surface area and is subject to a greater

{6}

amount of ink and processing stress, it is considered the worst-case configuration from a biocompatibility standpoint. Therefore, the biocompatibility testing performed on the big blister is scientifically justified as representative of the small blister configuration as well. No additional biocompatibility testing was conducted on the small blister.

## Shelf Life:

Testing was performed to evaluate the stability, sterility, and package integrity of The P-CON (polymacon) Soft (hydrophilic) Contact Lenses (Tinted, Color) finished contact lenses over the duration of the labeled expiration date. The data shows the 5 years validity shelf life of the subject device.

## Physicochemical & Mechanical Properties:

The following tests were completed to verify Physicochemical & Mechanical Properties: Shape and Appearance, Diameter, Basecurve, Center Thickness, Power, Visible light transmittance, Contact angle, Water contents, Oxygen permeability, Refractive Index, Specific Gravity, pH, Osmolality.
