Intended Use
The OXYLENS (hioxifilcon B) Spherical Soft Contact Lenses for daily wear are indicated for the correction of visual acuity in aphakic and not aphakic persons with non-diseased eyes with myopia or hyperopia. The lens may be worn by persons who exhibit refractive astigmatism of 1.50 diopters or less where the astigmatism does not interfere with visual acuity. The OXYLENS (hioxifilcon B) Toric Soft Contact Lenses for daily wear are indicated for the correction of visual acuity in aphakic and not aphakic persons with non-diseased eyes with myopia or hyperopia and/or possesses refractive astigmatism not exceeding 10 Diopters. The lenses are available within a planned replacement program with frequency of replacement determined by the practitioner.
Device Story
OxyLens is a daily wear, lathe-cut, hydrophilic soft contact lens made of hioxifilcon B. In hydrated state, lens conforms to corneal curvature to correct refractive errors (myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism). Lens requires maintenance in compatible aqueous solution; rehydrates if dried. Used by patients under practitioner guidance for planned replacement. Provides refractive medium to focus light on retina. Benefits include vision correction for aphakic and non-aphakic patients.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data provided; substantial equivalence based on bench testing and comparison of physical/chemical properties to predicate devices.
Technological Characteristics
Material: hioxifilcon B (hydrophilic polymer). Water content: 48% ± 2%. Oxygen permeability (Dk): 15 x 10^-11 (cm2/sec)(ml O2/ml x mmHg @ 35°C). Refractive index: 1.404 (hydrated). Lathe-cut manufacturing. Clear or Phthalocyanine Blue tint. Daily wear modality.
Indications for Use
Indicated for correction of visual acuity in aphakic and non-aphakic persons with non-diseased eyes with myopia or hyperopia. Spherical lenses for astigmatism ≤ 1.50D; Toric lenses for astigmatism ≤ 10D.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A soft (hydrophilic) contact lens is a device intended to be worn directly against the cornea and adjacent limbal and scleral areas of the eye to correct vision conditions or act as a therapeutic bandage. The device is made of various polymer materials the main polymer molecules of which absorb or attract a certain volume (percentage) of water.

{1}------------------------------------------------
#### Equivalent Devices:
The OXYLENS (hioxifilcon B) Soft (Spherical & Toric) Daily Wear Contact Lens is substantially equivalent to predicate devices in terms of intended use and design. Predicate devices include our own "Alden Classic" series (spherical and toric lens) manufactured by Alden Optical Labs, "Satureyes" and "Satureyes Toric" manufactured by Metro Optics and the "BENZ-G 3X" manufactured by Benz Research and Development.
#### Device Description:
The OXYLENS (bioxifilcon B) Soft (Spherical & Toric) Daily Wear Contact lenses are fabricated from hioxifilcon B, which in the dry (unhydrated) state may be machined and polished. The hydrophilic nature of this material allows the lens to become soft and pliable when immersed in an aqueous solution.
In the hydrated state, the lens conforms to the curvature of the eye covering the cornea and extending slightly beyond the limbus forming a colorless, transparent optical surface. The (hioxifilcon B) soft hydrophilic contact lens has a spherical back surface. The hydrophilic properties of the lens require that it be maintained in a fully hydrated state in a solution compatible with the eve. If the lens dries out, it will become hard and appear somewhat warped, however, it will return to its proper configuration when completely rehydrated in the proper storage solution.
The hydrophilic characteristics allow aqueous solutions to enter the lens and in its fully hydrated state the lens is approximately 48% water by weight. The physical properties of the lens are.

#### Intended Use:
The OXYLENS (hioxifilcon B) Spherical Soft Contact Lenses for daily wear are indicated for the correction of visual acuity in aphakic and not aphakic persons with non-diseased eyes with myopia or hyperopia. The lens may be worn by persons who exhibit refractive astigmatism of 1.50 diopters or less where the astigmatism does not interfere with visual acuity.
The OXYLENS (hioxifilcon B) Toric Soft Contact Lenses for daily wear are indicated for the correction of visual acuity in aphakic and not aphakic persons with non-diseased eyes with myopia or hyperopia and/or possesses refractive astigmatism.
The lenses are available within a planned replacement program with frequency of replacement determined by the practitioner.

## Substantial Equivalence:
The device will be manufactured according to specified process controls and a quality assurance program. The device will undergo manufacturing, packaging and sterilization procedures similar to devices currently marketed and distributed by Alden Optical Laboratories. The established safety profile (preclinical toxicology and manufacturing/chemistry data) of the device is equivalent to the BENZ-G 3X (hioxifilcon B), 510(k) #K964528. Being similar with respect to indications for use, materials, physical construction and safety & effectiveness to the predicate devices, this meets the requirements per section 510(k) of the act regarding substantial equivalence and does not raise different questions of safety and effectiveness than the predicate devices identified above.
The following matrix illustrates that the production method, lens function and material of the OxyLens (hioxifilcon B) Soft (Spherical & Toric) Daily Wear Contact Lens (Clear & Blue Visibility Tint, Lathecut from Lens Blank), are substantially equivalent to the predicate device(s). In addition, the water content, polymer, Dk value, refractive index, specific gravity, and light transmission are as well substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
