## Chemistry
Material property data were generated on the subject device and the predicate device. The data for both devices reflect properties of Group I lenses. The lens care product manufacturers have previously shown compatibility of Group I lenses with their products.
The shelf-life stability for VISTAKON (genfilcon A) Contact Lenses is based upon approved stability protocols from N18-033. The initial shelf-life of the lens will be declared based on the data generated under one of these protocols. Shelf-life will not be claimed until a minimum of six months of real time data have been collected and found to be acceptable.
Studies were conducted to determine the leachable materials from the subject and predicate devices. The results indicate that, at the levels of detection reported, there are no significant differences between the subject device and the predicate device.

Toxicology, genfilcon A lens material
In accordance with the May 1994 Guidance Document for Daily Wear contact lenses, toxicology studies have been conducted on the VISTAKON (genfilcon A) soft (hydrophilic) contact lenses, clear and with visibility tint.
1. The Ocular Irritation study indicates the extracts would not be considered ocular irritants under the conditions of the study.
2. The USP Systemic Toxicity study indicates the extracts would not be considered systemically toxic under the conditions of the study.
3. The Cytotoxicity study indicates that the lens is not cytotoxic under the conditions of the study.
Toxicology, package materials
No additional toxicology studies have been conducted on the plastic primary packaging materials, as the materials are the same as those previously tested and reported under N18-033.
Microbiology
The lens sterilization process, moist heat sterilization, has been validated to deliver a minimum SAL of 10⁻⁶. The lens care product manufacturers have established a reasonable assurance of disinfection efficacy of their care products with the lens groups for which they are approved. The lens will be presented in the same primary package currently used for other products approved under N18-033. There are shelf-life stability data which support lens sterility throughout the shelf-life claimed for the product.
Clinical studies
The safety of the lens material in the spherical design has been confirmed through a clinical trial for daily wear contact lens materials with a new USAN name according to the Premarket Notification (510(k)) Guidance Document for Daily Wear Contact Lenses (May 1994). The study evaluated at least 50 patients with a 2:1 ratio of subject device to predicate device for three (3) months. Parameters measured included adverse reactions, symptoms, problems and complaints, slit lamp evaluations, visual acuity, lens wear time, fit assessment and discontinuations. The VISTAKON (genfilcon A) trial contact lens was found to be safe and effective for its intended use and at least substantially clinically equivalent to the predicate device.
