Intended Use
The ACUVUE Contact Lens (spherical) is indicated for daily wear for the correction of refractive ametropia (myopia and hyperopia) in aphakic or non-aphakic persons with non-diseased eyes who may have 1.00 D or less of astigmatism. The ACUVUE BIFOCAL Contact Lens is indicated for daily wear for the correction of distance and near vision in presbyopic, aphakic or non-aphakic persons with non-diseased eyes who may have 0.75 D or less of astigmatism. The ACUVUE TORIC Contact Lens is indicated for daily wear for the correction of visual acuity in aphakic or non-aphakic persons with non-diseased eyes that are hyperopic or myopic and may have 10.00 D or less of astigmatism. The ACUVUE TORIC BIFOCAL Contact Lens is indicated for daily wear for the correction of distance and near vision in presbyopic aphakic or non-phakic persons with non-diseased eyes who may have 10.00 D of astigmatism or less. ACUVUE Contact Lenses help protect against transmission of harmful UV radiation to the cornea and into the eye. Eye care practitioners may prescribe the lens for either single-use disposable wear or for frequent/planned replacement wear, with cleaning, disinfection and scheduled replacement. When prescribed for frequent/planned replacement wear, the lens may be disinfected using a chemical disinfection system only.
Device Story
Etafilcon A soft (hydrophilic) contact lenses; clear or visibility tinted; includes UV blocker. Designed for daily wear; prescribed by eye care practitioners for single-use disposable or frequent/planned replacement. Frequent replacement requires chemical disinfection. Labeling update indicates that replacing lenses at intervals from 1 day to 2 weeks may reduce risk of giant papillary conjunctivitis. Device provides refractive correction and UV radiation protection for cornea/eye.
Clinical Evidence
No new clinical studies conducted. Labeling modification supported by clinical studies published in the July 1999 CLAO Journal. Clinical safety previously established in K991134.
Technological Characteristics
Material: etafilcon A (hydrophilic polymer). Form: soft contact lens. Features: UV blocker, clear or visibility tinted. Sterilization: chemical disinfection system (for frequent replacement).
Indications for Use
Indicated for daily wear correction of refractive ametropia (myopia/hyperopia) or presbyopia in aphakic/non-aphakic persons with non-diseased eyes. Spherical lenses: up to 1.00 D astigmatism. Bifocal: up to 0.75 D astigmatism. Toric: up to 10.00 D astigmatism. Toric Bifocal: up to 10.00 D astigmatism.
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.

## Summary of 510(k) Submission, Continued
| Reason for<br>510(k) | The reason for the 510(k) is to revise the "Wear Schedule" in the Draft<br>Package Insert, and the "Introduction" statements in the Draft Patient<br>Instruction Guides (Disposable and Frequent Replacement) for ACUVUE<br>(etafilcon A) soft (hydrophilic) contact lenses, clear and visibility tinted, with<br>UV blocker, for daily wear to include the following statement:<br>When ACUVUE UV Blocking Contact Lenses are replaced at intervals<br>ranging from 1 day to 2 weeks, the risk of developing giant papillary<br>conjunctivitis may be reduced . |
|--------------------------------------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| Characteristics | The characteristics do not change. They are the same as previously submitted<br>in K991134. |
| Non-clinical<br>studies | Non-clinical studies (chemistry, toxicology, microbiology, shelf-life, and<br>leachability) on the lens material were not conducted because the lens<br>material, etafilcon A, does not change. |
| Clinical studies | This 510(k) describes a labeling modification which is supported by clinical<br>studies published in the July 1999 CLAO Journal (see Attachment A). There<br>is no change in lens material, the manufacturing process, nor the parameters<br>and properties, therefore, the clinical data previously submitted in K991134<br>supports the clinical safety of the subject device. |
| Conclusions<br>drawn from<br>studies | Additional studies were not conducted, therefore, the conclusions drawn from<br>studies previously submitted in K991134 support the non-clinical and clinical<br>safety of the subject device. The clinical studies published in the July 1999<br>CLAO Journal support the labeling modification that is the subject of this<br>510(k). |
For the disposable patient guide, the statement is revised to: "When ACUVUE UV Blocking Contact Lenses are replaced daily, the risk of developing giant papillary conjunctivitis may be reduced."
