Intended Use
The SBL-3™ multifocal intraocular lens is indicated for primary implantation for the visual correction of aphakia, in adult patients with 1 diopter or less of pre-existing corneal astigmatism, in whom a cataractous lens has been removed. The lens mitigates the effects of presbyopia by providing a bifocal correction. Compared to an aspheric monofocal IOL, the lens provides improved near visual acuity, while maintaining comparable distance and intermediate visual acuity. The lens promotes the less frequent use of vision correction choices at near distance (including glasses, contact lenses, magnifying glasses, and digital adjustments on electronic devices), compared to an aspheric monofocal IOL. The SBL-3™ multifocal IOL is intended for capsular bag placement only.
Device Story
SBL-3™ is a single-piece, ultraviolet-absorbing, hydrophilic acrylic multifocal intraocular lens (MIOL) for capsular bag placement after phacoemulsification. It features a rotationally asymmetric, aspheric, segmented optic with two distinct power zones: superior for distance and inferior for near (+3.00D add at IOL plane). Unlike concentric zonal MIOLs, this design provides bifocal correction without requiring head movement. Used by ophthalmic surgeons in clinical settings to replace the human crystalline lens; the patient's brain adapts to the bifocal images. The device mitigates presbyopia, improving near visual acuity and reducing dependence on reading glasses or digital magnifiers while maintaining distance/intermediate vision. Potential benefits include spectacle independence at near distances; risks include visual disturbances (halos, glare, starbursts) and potential for secondary surgical intervention.
Clinical Evidence
Prospective, multi-center, randomized, subject-masked pivotal study (IDE G140134) with 499 subjects (333 test, 166 control). Primary endpoints: monocular DCNVA at 40cm (superiority), DCIVA at 70cm (non-inferiority), and BCDVA at 4m (non-inferiority) at 1-year. Results: SBL-3 superior for near acuity (0.109 vs 0.569 LogMAR, p<0.0001). Non-inferior for intermediate and distance acuity. Safety: SSI rate 1.8% (12/656), higher than historical control. Increased visual disturbances (halos, glare) reported. No significant difference in contrast sensitivity compared to other marketed MIOLs.
Technological Characteristics
Material: Hydrophilic acrylic (26% water content) with UV blocker. Design: Single-piece, closed-loop/modified plate haptics, 5.75mm optic, 11.00mm length. Refractive, equiconvex, aspheric, rotationally asymmetric segmented optic. Sterilization: Steam. Connectivity: None. Software: None.
Indications for Use
Indicated for primary implantation for visual correction of aphakia in adult patients (≥22 years) with ≤1 diopter of pre-existing corneal astigmatism following cataract removal. Contraindicated in patients with uncontrolled glaucoma, microphthalmia, chronic severe uveitis, retinal detachment, corneal decompensation, diabetic retinopathy, iris atrophy, or perioperative complications.

## V. DEVICE DESCRIPTION
The SBL-3™ Multifocal Intraocular Lens (MIOL) is an ultraviolet absorbing, single-piece closed loop/modified plate intraocular lens intended for the replacement of the human crystalline lens following phacoemulsification cataract removal. The SBL-3 possesses a rotationally asymmetric aspheric multifocal optic with a +3.00 add on the anterior surface. It is offered in the dioptric power range of +15.0 to +25.0 in quarter (0.25) diopter increments and 25.5 to 30.0 in half (0.50) diopter increments. The SBL-3™ is manufactured with a tolerance ±0.11 diopters at both the base power and the add power, between +15.0 and +25.0. The lens features, specifications, power offerings and tolerances are described in Tables 1 and 2.

| SBL-3 Power Ranges (D) | Diopter Increments Offered In (D) | Tolerances Applied (D)** |
| --- | --- | --- |

The SBL-3™ is designed with a segmented optic, rather than the concentric zonal approach used in currently available MIOLs (Figure 1). The optic is designed with two distinct power zones, with the superior aspect powered for distance and the inferior powered for near. The ‘near’ zone possesses 3.0 diopters (D) of additional (ADD) power at the IOL plane, which corresponds to approximately 2.4D at the spectacle plane, depending on corneal power and anterior chamber depth. The add portion is placed on the anterior MIOL surface.

Figure 1: SBL-3™ Multifocal Intraocular Lens
The SBL-3™ is manufactured from a medical grade co-polymer of Hydrophilic Acrylic, with a polymerizable UV blocker. The hydrophilic nature of the lens material (hydrophilic acrylic) reduces the problems associated with silicone oil adhesion and silicone oil induced opacification. Each MIOL has a 360° square edge design.
The IOL is designed with a half power ring at the very bottom of the optic portion. This is depicted in the Figure 2 below, in which the green color represents the distance portion, the red portion represents the near add portion and the adjacent white colored portion represents this half power portion. In eyes with large pupils, it is possible that patients may see a resultant arcuate half-halo. No patient in the clinical trial noted such a concern, but the theoretical possibility exists that such an issue could occur.

Figure 2: SBL-3™ IOL Optic
Currently available MIOLs are designed in a concentric ring fashion in which powers change from the base power to the near power in alternating fashion, from one central ring all the way to the periphery of the optic. The number of rings varies by manufacturer/lens/design.
Although the design appears similar to bifocal spectacles in concept, the patient implanted with the SBL-3™ does not need to move his/her head up and down to gain the advantage of the near add (as is required with bifocal spectacles). Just as with approved two-power MIOLs in the US, the patient's brain adapts to the available images and suppresses the out of focus image associated with those objects not being focused on by the patient.
The SBL-3™ is manufactured from the same material approved for use with the Applicant's Softec family of IOLs (P090022). The SBL-3™ is lathe and mill cut from a 'button' of material and subsequently hydrated, polished, checked for acceptability, final cleaned/inspected, packaged in a pouch, labeled, sterilized, packed and then shipped.

# Microbiology, Sterilization, and Shelf-Life Testing
The IOL material, sterilization method, packaging materials and packaging configuration of the SBL-3™ Multifocal IOLs are the same as those of Lenstec's approved Softec HD Posterior Chamber Intraocular Lens (P090022). Differences in the manufacturing process, including initial manufacturing location, manufacturing methods and manufacturing equipment have been evaluated and are considered acceptable with respect to microbiology, sterilization and shelf life/transport stability. As a result, stability, packaging integrity, and transport stability data supporting this reference Softec HD monofocal IOL lens model was used to support the application for the SBL-3™ multifocal IOL lens model. In addition, both accelerated aging and real-time aging studies were performed. As a result of reference and current stability testing, the SBL-3™ IOLs will be labeled with a 5-year shelf life.
Validation of the steam sterilization process was conducted on the SBL-3™ IOLs and assures a minimum sterility assurance level of $10^{-6}$. The SBL-3™ IOLs were successfully adopted into the existing validated steam sterilization cycle per the appropriate standard operating procedures and passed all acceptance criteria for bioburden and bacterial endotoxin.
These tests were conducted in accordance with the current versions of the following standards:
- ISO 17665-1, Sterilization of health care products – Moist Heat – Part 1:
- Requirements for the development, validation, and routine control of a sterilization process for medical devices
- ISO 17665-2, Sterilization of health care products – Moist Heat – Part 2: Guidance on the application of ISO 17665-1

X. SUMMARY OF PRIMARY CLINICAL STUDY(IES)
The applicant performed a clinical study to establish a reasonable assurance of safety and effectiveness of cataract surgery and intraocular lens (IOL) implantation with the SBL-3™ ultifocal IOL for primary implantation for the visual correction of aphakia in the US under IDE G140134. Data from this clinical study were the basis for the PMA approval decision. A summary of the clinical study is presented below.
A. Study Design
Patients were treated between August 19, 2015 and August 15, 2019. The database for this Original PMA Application reflected data collected through August of 2019 and included 495 implanted subjects. There were 18 investigational sites in the U.S. The study was enrolled in two phases (Phase 2 and Phase 3).
The study was a prospective, multi-center, pivotal, two-arm/parallel group, subject masked, randomized (2:1 ratio) cohort study. Subjects were masked from knowing the type of IOL they received, either multifocal SBL-3™ or monofocal IOL control. The study was intended to include pre-operative visits and extend to 1-year post-operative. The subjects were enrolled following signing informed consent and meeting inclusion and exclusion criteria and randomized at the time of surgery into either the test or control group. Once the primary eye was treated, the fellow eye was to be implanted with the same type IOL between 7 and 30 days from the primary eye implantation date. Both eyes were required to meet inclusion/exclusion

criteria for this reason. The statistical plan was based upon the use of frequentist statistics. Sample size was based upon adequate power to test key effectiveness hypotheses comparing the SBL-3™ arm to the monofocal control arm, with regard to distance-corrected visual acuity at 4 m and 70 cm (to show non-inferiority, using a 0.10 logMAR margin), and at 40 cm (to show superiority).
The safety objective was to characterize the rates of all adverse events in the SBL-3™ arm and to statistically compare these to rates seen in with a monofocal IOL. For types of adverse events listed in the ISO 11979-7 (2018) (Ophthalmic implants - Intraocular lenses - Part 7: Clinical investigations), SBL-3™ adverse event rates were compared to the ISO historical control rates found in monofocal IOLs. Statistically, SBL-3™ rates were compared to the historical control rates to determine whether the observed rates were significantly greater than the historical control rates. Secondary surgical intervention due to the optical properties of the IOL (which is not a type of event mentioned in this ISO historical control) was part of the primary safety endpoint. The analysis was to compare the rates in the SBL-3 and active monofocal IOL control arms using a 2-sided 90% confidence interval constructed around the estimate of the rate difference between the arms. (The group rates wound be considered comparable if the confidence interval contains zero. Similar statistical comparisons were the analyses used for any types of serious adverse events not found in the historical control.)
The control group was the subjects implanted with a legally marketed aspheric monofocal IOL with indications for primary implantation for the visual correction of aphakia (the Akreos AO60 (Bausch + Lomb, NJ, USA)). (For the types of safety and performance endpoints (SPEs) specified in ISO 11979-7, the ISO historical control was used for statistical comparisons.)
A total of up to 510 subjects were allowed to be enrolled, in order to ultimately have 300 study subjects and 150 control subjects available at the 1-year postoperative. Enrollment was closed after the 499th subject was included in the study.

*: Visit and Testing performed on All Subjects
a. Second Implantation can be done within 7-30 days of first implantation
b. Review of Inclusion/Exclusion criteria prior to surgery
c. Monocular and Binocular testing
d. Binocular testing only
e. Administration of PRO twice at Form 3A (once at beginning of visit and once prior to dilation) for up to an additional 100 Phase 3 subjects only
f. Only administered if the subject has a ≥ 10 letter loss in visual acuity or is complaining of visual disturbances
g. PRO is administered prior to sedation and dilation for up to an additional 100 Phase 3 subjects only
## Subgroup populations:
There were two sub-studies involved in the IDE study associated with the SBL-3™. These were defocus evaluation and functional performance (driving simulator). These were both performed at the Form 4A (120-180 days post-operative) visit.
## 3. Clinical Endpoints
With regards to safety, the primary endpoint was the rates of observed adverse events of various types, including the rate of secondary surgical intervention (SSIs) due to the optical properties of the IOL. As mentioned above, the rate of SSIs due to optical properties of the IOL was to be considered acceptable if it was not statistically, significantly higher than the rate for the active monofocal control. For types of serious adverse events listed (among the “safety and performance endpoints) in the ISO 11979-7(2018), the outcome for each type of adverse event was considered successful if the SBL-3™ rate was not statistically significantly higher than the historical control rate.
PMA P200020: FDA Summary of Safety and Effectiveness Data

{22}
There was one secondary safety endpoint: binocular distance contrast sensitivity, and 'other' safety endpoints, as listed below, and as noted in the statistical analysis plan (SAP).
- PRO Visual Disturbance Questionnaire (to include patient visual symptoms)
- Slit Lamp Examination
- Dilated Fundus Examination (to include adequacy of fundus visualization and clarity of retinal image)
- Subjective Posterior Capsule Opacification (PCO)
- Posterior Capsulotomy
- IOL Observations
- IOL Position Change (Tilt and Decentration)
- Intraocular Pressure
- Surgical Problems
- Device Deficiencies
- A loss of $\geq 10$ letters in Best Corrected Visual Acuity (LogMar) between any form evaluation and a later form evaluation
- Failure to achieve a Best Corrected LogMar acuity of 0.30 LogMAR (20/40) at any postoperative visit
The effectiveness objective was to compare the legally marketed monofocal to the study article and the ISO historical grid, for visual acuity outcomes.
a. There were three co-primary effectiveness endpoints at the 1-year postoperative visit:
- Photopic monocular Distance Corrected Near Visual Acuity at 40 cm at visit 5A (330-420 days). The hypothesis tested for the co-primary effectiveness endpoint #1 was to demonstrate superiority of the SBL-3™ IOL to the control monofocal IOL.
- Photopic monocular Distance Corrected Intermediate Visual Acuity at 70 cm at visit 5A (330-420 days). The hypothesis tested for the co-primary effectiveness endpoint #2 was to demonstrate non-inferiority of the SBL-3™ IOL to the control monofocal IOL (using a non-inferiority margin of 0.10 logMAR).
- Photopic monocular best corrected distance visual acuity at 4m at visit 5A (330-420 days). The hypothesis tested for the co-primary effectiveness endpoint #3 was to demonstrate non-inferiority of the SBL-3™ IOL to the control monofocal IOL (using a non-inferiority margin of 0.10 logMAR).
b. Secondary Endpoints
- The same three co-primary acuity endpoints/analyses, as above, but evaluated at visit 4A (120-180 days, postop)
PMA P200020: FDA Summary of Safety and Effectiveness Data
23 of 106
{23}
- Patient reported use (as reported on a patient questionnaire) of the frequency of use of vision correction (glasses/contact lenses) and spectacle independence at visit 5A (330-420 days)
There were other supportive effectiveness endpoints, including defocus curve characterization, and patient questionnaire assessment of patient satisfaction.
Note: The clinical protocol initially contained an error in the instructions for how to perform the testing for best corrected distance visual acuity (BCDVA). For discussion of this, see the portion of Section X under “Effectiveness Results” concerning the third co-primary effectiveness endpoint of BCDVA (see below, Table 38). (This discussion is also pertinent to the “other” safety endpoint of “Proportion of Eyes Achieving Best Corrected Distance Visual Acuity (BCDVA) of 0.30 LogMar (or better).”)
## B. Accountability of PMA Cohort
At the time of database lock, of 499 patients enrolled in the PMA study, 95.4% (476) patients are available for analysis at the completion of the study, the 12 month post-operative visit.
A total of 499 subjects were randomized into this study and randomized to receive either the test or control IOL. Of the 499 subjects randomized into the study, 333 were test subjects and 166 were control subjects. Of the 499 subjects randomized into the study, 495 had at least one operative eye implanted (329 in the SBL-3 group and 166 in the control group). Of the 495 implanted subjects, 476 (96.2%; 476/495) (315 in the SBL-3 group and 161 in the control group) completed the study at the Form 5A (1-year post-operative) visit. Table 8 describes the subject accountability.

## C. Study Population Demographics and Baseline Parameters
The demographics of the study population are typical for this type of study performed in the US, as shown in Table 9. Those subjects having cataractous natural lenses tend to be 60 years or older in age. Historically, a greater proportion of women enroll in these types of clinical trials. Also, they tend to be dominated by white, non-Hispanic individuals.

D. Safety and Effectiveness Results
1. Safety Results
The analysis of safety was based on the safety cohort of 496 subjects which had the IOL come into contact with the eye (330 in the SBL-3™ group and 166 in the control group). The post-operative adverse event rates are based upon the number of eyes implanted. The key safety outcomes for this study are presented below in Tables 10 to 24.
**Adverse effects that occurred in the PMA clinical study:**
**Cumulative and Persistent Adverse Events- Safety Population- All Eyes**
Table 10 outlines the incidences of cumulative and persistent adverse events for the SBL-3™ and Akreos AO (control) monofocal IOL as compared to the ISO 11979-7:2018 for the safety population- All Eyes, the entire study cohort.
The incidence rates of cumulative adverse events for the SBL-3™ compared favorably to the specified ISO SPE (historical control) rates, as the observed rates for SBL-3™ were within or not statistically significantly higher than the specified ISO SPE rates, except for Secondary Surgical Intervention rate which is explained below. There were twelve observed cases of Secondary Surgical Interventions (1.8%; 12/656) which is statistically inferior to the historical control SPE rate. However, only six of the SSI were related to the optical properties of the IOL (0.9%; 6/656). Subsequently, the remaining 6 SSI (0.9%; 6/656) were not related to the IOL optical properties at all and were treatments for SAE's.
The incidence rates of persistent adverse events for the SBL-3™ also compared favorably to the specified ISO SPE rates. There was one case of corneal stromal edema (0.2%; 1/628), however, this rate was not statistically significantly higher than the ISO SPE rate of 0.3%. Furthermore, the SBL-3™ had one case of cystoid macular edema (0.2%; 1/628), and this rate was not statistically significantly higher than the ISO SPE rate of 0.5%

# Secondary Surgical Intervention Related to Optical Properties of the IOL
The cumulative rate of secondary surgical interventions (SSIs) related to the optical properties of the IOL were reported during the clinical trial. The results are based on the safety population- All Eyes. A total of 6 SBL-3™ SSIs related to and not related to the optical properties of the IOL out of 656 SBL-3™ implanted are shown below in Tables 11-13. Two subjects had explants (both eyes for one subject, primary eye for second subject) due to the subjective complaints of dissatisfaction with visual symptoms (or level of vision). Two additional subjects (both eyes for one subject, primary eye for second subject) had IOL rotation due to dissatisfaction with vision (visual disturbances and decreased vision). The confidence interval on the difference in the rates includes zero, and therefore there was no statistically significant difference between the arms in the rates for the SSIs related to optical properties.

# Cumulative and Persistent Adverse Events- Safety Population-Primary Eyes
Table 14 outlines the incidences of cumulative and persistent adverse events for the SBL-3™ and Akreos AO (control) monofocal IOL as compared to the ISO 11979-7:2018 for the safety population- Primary Eyes.
The incidence rates of cumulative adverse events for the SBL-3™ (primary eyes) compared favorably to the specified ISO SPE rates, as the observed rates for SBL-3™ were within or not statistically significantly higher than the specified ISO SPE rates, except for Secondary Surgical Intervention rate which is explained below. There were seven observed cases of Secondary Surgical Interventions (2.1%, 7/330) which is statistically inferior to the historical control SPE rate. However, only 3 of the SSI were related to the optical properties of the IOL (0.9%; 3/330) and are discussed below.
The incidence rates of persistent adverse events for the SBL-3™ (primary eyes) also compared favorably to the specified ISO SPE rates. There was one case of cystoid macular edema (0.3%; 1/315), however, this rate was not statistically significantly higher than the ISO SPE rate of 0.5%.

## Secondary Surgical Intervention Related to Optical Properties of the IOL-Primary eyes
The cumulative rate of secondary surgical interventions (SSIs) related to the optical properties of the IOL were reported during the clinical trial. The results are based on the safety population- Primary Eyes. A total of 3 SBL-3™ SSIs related to the optical properties of the IOL out of 330 SBL-3™ implanted are shown below in Table 15. The confidence interval on the difference in the rates includes zero, and therefore there was no statistically significant difference between the arms in the rates for the SSIs related to optical properties. This confirms a successful outcome.

## Proportion of Eyes Achieving Best Corrected Distance Visual Acuity (BCDVA) of 0.30 LogMar (or better)
An 'other' supportive safety endpoint was the proportion of SBL-3™ eyes achieving BCDVA 0.3 LogMAR or better vs. ISO 11979-7:2018 (E) SPE (historical control) rate at 6 months and 1 year. Table E.4 historical grid summary for posterior chamber IOLs is presented in Table 15 for both treatment groups by primary eye, fellow eye and all eyes from the safety population for overall post-operative BCDVA 0.30 LogMar or better. Table 17 is the best-case population. (This is defined as all patients/eyes from the All-Implanted population who have at least one postoperative visit without any clinically significant preoperative pathology or macular degeneration at any time.)
SBL-3™ eyes achieved BCDVA of 0.3 LogMAR or better at 6 months and 1 year exceeding the ISO rates for posterior chamber lenses (92.5% overall), with ranges of 98.1% (6-month primary eyes; 315/321) to 99.7% (1-year fellow eyes; 312/313).

Tables 22 and 23 show that under photopic and mesopic without glare, the mean difference between the SBL-3 and the Akreos AO is 0.181 log units and with glare, 0.140 log units. Under mesopic without glare, the mean difference is 0.181 log units and with glare, 0.144 log units.
Multifocal IOLs generally show somewhat reduced levels of contrast sensitivity compared to monofocal IOLs. All of the differences between the SBL-3™ and control arms for mean contrast sensitivity results, appear to be within within the general levels seen in other studies of marketed multifocal IOLs.
Other Safety Endpoint Outcomes
## Visual disturbances
Visual disturbances were assessed using a patient reported outcomes tool, which specifically asked subjects about their experience with blurry vision, vision in dim light, vision in bright light, seeing colors, seeing halos, seeing streaks, seeing glare and seeing double images. Subjects implanted with the SBL-3™ multifocal IOL reported higher rates of “severe” levels for halos, glare, streaks of light and multiple images, than subjects implanted with the monofocal control (See Tables 24 and 25).
The table below describes the outcomes at the pre-operative visit and the 6-month and 1-year post-operative visits.

{49}
Subjects reported their visual symptoms on the visual disturbance questionnaire as 'None' (0), 'Mild' (1-3), 'Moderate' (4-6) and 'Severe' (>6). Overall, the rate of test subjects reporting their symptoms as 'none' increased between 4A and 5A for all visual disturbance questions (sensitivity to light remained similar between 4A and 5A) while the control subjects experienced a decreased rate across 7 of the 8 questions posed.
Additionally, the opposite trend was noted for the rate of test subjects reporting their symptoms as 'severe' decrease between 4A and 5A visits for 6 of the 8 visual disturbance questions (with their rates decreasing) while the control group generally showed an increase in severe symptoms for 6 of the 8 visual disturbance questions.
This data was also tabulated for each of the potential responses for each group, at the 4A and 5A visits.
