Intended Use
AQUAIR (enfilcon A) SPHERE and ASPHERE Soft Contact lenses are indicated for the correction of ametropia (myopia and hyperopia) in aphakic and non-aphakic persons with non-diseased eyes. The lenses may be worn by persons who exhibit astigmatism of 2.00 diopters or less that does not interfere with visual acuity. AQUAIR (enfilcon A) TORIC Soft Contact lenses are indicated for the correction of ametropia (myopia or hyperopia with astigmatism) in aphakic and non-aphakic persons with non-diseased eyes in powers from -20.00 to +20.00 diopters and astigmatic corrections from -0.25 to -10.00 diopters. AQUAIR (enfilcon A) MULTIFOCAL lenses are indicated for the correction of refractive ametropia (myopia and hyperopia) and emmetropia with presbyopia in aphakic and non-aphakic persons with non-diseased eyes. The lenses may be worn by persons who exhibit astigmatism of 2.00 diopters or less that does not interfere with visual acuity. The AQUAIR (enfilcon A) Soft (Hydrophilic) Contact Lenses are indicated for daily wear. When prescribed for planned replacement the lens may be disinfected using a chemical or hydrogen peroxide disinfecting systems. The lens may also be prescribed for single-use disposable daily wear.
Device Story
AQUAIR (enfilcon A) is a Group I, daily wear silicone hydrogel contact lens. Material consists of silicone macromers cross-linked with monomers; includes phthalocyanine blue handling tint and UV blocker. Manufactured in spherical, aspherical, toric, and multifocal configurations via cast molding. Supplied sterile in blister packs with buffered saline. Used by patients for vision correction; prescribed by eye care professionals. Lens provides high oxygen permeability to the cornea. Clinical benefit includes correction of refractive errors and presbyopia, improving visual acuity.
Clinical Evidence
Clinical study compared AQUAIR (enfilcon A) to historical data of COOPERVISION BIOFINITY. Evaluated visual acuity performance and safety via patient complaints and slit lamp observations. Results showed no significant difference in visual acuity or clinical adverse events between the two products. No serious adverse events reported.
Technological Characteristics
Material: enfilcon A (silicone hydrogel). Group I (low water, nonionic). Water content: 46%. Oxygen permeability (Dk): 100 x 10^-11. Refractive index: 1.40. Manufacturing: Cast molded. Configurations: Spherical, aspherical, toric, multifocal. UV blocker included. Sterilization: Sterile blister pack.
Indications for Use
Indicated for correction of ametropia (myopia, hyperopia) and presbyopia in aphakic/non-aphakic persons with non-diseased eyes. Includes toric correction for astigmatism. Contraindicated for 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.

# 4. Device Description
The AQUAIR (enfilcon A) soft contact lens is a Group I, daily wear silicone hydrogel contact lens that is not surface treated and is characterized by a high oxygen permeability (Dk). The lens material, enfilcon A, is composed of silicone macromers cross linked with other monomers, incorporating phthalocyanine blue as an integrated, handling tint. A UV blocker is added to reduce the amount of ultraviolet light transmitted into the eye. The lens will be manufactured in spherical, aspherical, toric and multifocal configurations with the following features and properties:
| • Chord Diameter | 13.5 mm to 15.0 mm |
|-------------------------------|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| • Center Thickness | 0.05 mm to 0.60 mm |
| • Base Curve | 8.2 mm to 9.2 mm |
| • Power Range | -20.00D to +20.00D in 0.25 steps |
| • Cylinder Power (Toric) | -0.25 to -10.00 D |
| • Add Power (Multifocal) | +0.50 to +4.00 D |
| • Refractive Index (hydrated) | 1.40 |
| • Water Content | 46% by weight in normal saline |
| • Oxygen permeability | 100 x 10-11 [(cm²/sec)(ml O₂)/ml*mmHg]], 34°C, Polarographic method (corrected) |
The lens is supplied sterile in blister packs containing a buffered saline solution. Labeling is printed with appropriate lot numbering, expiration dating and lens parameter identification. Expiration dating is established based on studies of product stability, package integrity, and sterility.

# 8. Physicochemical Studies
The physical, optical and chemical properties of the lenses as assessed by various test methods show substantial equivalency with the predicate devices as illustrated in the preceding table. Additional studies were conducted to verify that leachable substances were either low or below measurable levels to assuage any concerns for its intended use.
#### 9. Toxicology Studies
Animal GLP studies were conducted and determined that AQUAIR (enfilcon A) lenses were biocompatible for the intended use as assessed using ISO 10993 standards for cytotoxicity, maximization sensitization, ocular irritation, and systemic toxicity. All results passed with no evidence of adverse clinical effects caused by the AQUAIR lens.
# 10. Human Clinical Studies
Clinical studies were conducted to demonstrate substantial equivalence of the AQUAIR (enfilcon A) lens as compared with historical data of the COOPERVISION BIOFINTY lens based on performance and safety. In a study of daily wear, assessment of visual acuity performance showed no significant difference between the two products. Safety as assessed by patient complaints or/and slit lamp observations showed no significant difference of clinical adverse events between the two products. There were no serious or significant adverse events attributable to the device during the study.
#### 11. Conclusions
Based on evaluations of material, manufacturing methods, lens parameters and indicated use, the AQUAR (enfilcon A) lens is substantially equivalent with the predicate, marketed lenses. Based on evaluation of chemical properties, biocompatibility and clinical studies, the AQUAIR (enfilcon A) lens has been shown to be safe and effective for its indicated use.

Dear Dr. Douglas:
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
