Intended Use
The 55 SV (ocufilcon C) Soft (Hydrophilic) Contact Lens for Daily Wear is indicated for daily wear for the correction of refractive ametropia (myopia and hyperopia) in aphakic or not-aphakic persons with non-diseased eyes that may exhibit refractive and/or corneal astigmatism up to 2.00 diopters that does not interfere with visual acuity. The 55 Multifocal (ocufilcon C) Soft (Hydrophilic) Contact Lens for Daily Wear is indicated for daily wear for the correction of refractive ametropia (myopia and hyperopia) and presbyopia in aphakic and not-aphakic persons with non-diseased eyes that may exhibit refractive and/or corneal astigmatism up to 2.00 diopters that does not interfere with visual acuity. The 55 Toric (ocutilcon C) Soft (Hydrophilic) Contact Lens for Daily Wear is indicated for daily wear for the correction of refractive ametropia (myopia, hyperopia and astigmatism) in aphakic and/or not aphakic persons with non diseased eyes. The lenses may be disinfected using chemical or hydrogen peroxide disinfecting systems. Eye care practitioners may prescribe the lenses for daily wear and/or frequent replacement. When prescribed for a Frequent Replacement Program, the lenses may be disinfected using chemical or hydrogen peroxide disinfecting systems.
Device Story
Hemispherical flexible hydrophilic contact lenses; cover cornea and adjacent sclera. Available in single vision, double slab-off back surface (toric), and aspheric (multifocal) designs. Prescribed by eye care practitioners for daily wear or frequent replacement. Patients use lenses to correct refractive errors; disinfection via chemical or hydrogen peroxide systems. Benefits include vision correction for ametropia and presbyopia.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Pre-clinical testing included systemic injection, primary ocular irritation, cytotoxicity, and physicochemical testing. Results confirmed non-toxicity, non-irritation, and stability of physical properties. Shelf life testing confirmed sterility and physical property stability.
Technological Characteristics
Material: ocufilcon C (HEMA and methacrylic acid cross-linked with ethyleneglycol dimethacrylate, 55% water). Tint: Reactive Blue 19. Designs: single vision, double slab-off (toric), aspheric (multifocal). Manufacturing: molded. Sterilization: not specified.
Indications for Use
Indicated for daily wear correction of myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism, and presbyopia in aphakic or non-aphakic persons with non-diseased eyes.
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.

# Comparison to Predicate Device
{2}------------------------------------------------
### Indications for Use:
The 55 SV (ocufilcon C) Soft (Hydrophilic) Contact Lens is indicated for daily wear for the correction of refractive ametropia (myopia and hyperopia) in aphakic or notaphakic persons with non-diseased eyes that may exhibit refractive and/or corneal astigmatism up to 2.00 diopters that does not interfere with visual acuity.
The 55 Multifocal (ocufilcon C) Soft (Hydrophilic) Contact Lens is indicated for daily wear for the correction of refractive ametropia (myopia and hyperopia) and presbyopia in aphakic or not-aphakic persons with non-diseased eyes that may exhibit refractive and/or corneal astigmatism up to 2.00 diopters that does not interfere with visual acuity.
The 55 Toric (ocufilcon C) Soft (Hydrophilic) Contact Lens is inclicated for daily wear for the correction of refractive ametropia (myopia, hyperopia and astigmatism) in aphakic and/or not aphakic persons with non- diseased eyes.
The lenses may be disinfected using chemical or hydrogen peroxide disinfecting systems. Eye care practitioners may prescribe the lenses for daily wear and/or frequent replacement. When prescribed for a Frequent Replacement Program, the lenses may be disinfected using chemical or hydrogen peroxide disinfecting systems.
### Description of Safety and Substantial Equivalence:
A series of pre-clinical tests were performed to demonstrate the safety and effectiveness of the 55 SV, the 55 Multifocal, and the 55 Toric (ocufilcon C) Soft (Hydrophilic) Contact Lenses for Daily Wear, and to establish substantial equivalence to the predicate devices.
Results of Systemic Injection, Primary Ocular Irritation and Cytotoxicity Tests show the lenses to be non-toxic and non-irritating. The 55 SV lenses were extracted and evaluated for presence of residue. Results showed no evidence of unsafe amounts of residue in the extracts. Physicochemical testing of the 55 lenses demonstrated equivalency to the predicate devices.
## Conclusion:
Information submitted in the 510(k) establishes that the 55 SV, the 55 Multifocal and the 55 Toric Contact Lenses (ocufilcon C) have comparable physicochemical properties to the predicate devices and do not raise questions of safety and effectiveness. Shelf life testing has shown the lenses remain sterile and that the physical lens properties are stable. Therefore, the devices are substantially equivalent to the predicate devices.
