Intended Use
The UltraVue/P, UltraVue/C (hioxifilcon B) Soft (Multifocal) Contact Lenses for daily wear are indicated for the correction of visual acuity in aphakic and not aphakic persons with non-diseased eyes with myopia or hyperopia and are presbyopic. The lens may be worn by persons who may exhibit astigmatism of .75 diopters or less where the astigmatism does not interfere with visual acuity.
Device Story
UltraVue/P and UltraVue/C are daily wear soft multifocal contact lenses fabricated from hioxifilcon B. Lenses are lathe-cut from dry blanks and become soft/pliable when hydrated in aqueous solution. They function as a refractive medium to focus light from distant, intermediate, and near objects onto the retina, compensating for refractive error. Used by patients with myopia, hyperopia, and presbyopia; prescribed by eye care professionals. The device provides a transparent optical surface over the cornea. Benefits include improved visual acuity across multiple distances for presbyopic patients.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data provided. Substantial equivalence is based on bench testing, manufacturing/chemistry data, and comparison of physical properties (water content, oxygen permeability, refractive index) to predicate devices.
Technological Characteristics
Material: hioxifilcon B (hydrophilic polymer). Water content: 48% ±2%. Oxygen permeability (Dk): 15 x 10^-11 (cm2/sec)(ml O2/ml x mmHg @ 35°C). Refractive index: 1.404 (hydrated). Specific gravity: 1.136 (hydrated). Light transmission: >95%. Form factor: Lathe-cut soft contact lens. Tint: Phthalocyanine Blue. Sterilization: Standard industry procedures.
Indications for Use
Indicated for correction of visual acuity in aphakic and non-aphakic persons with non-diseased eyes, specifically those with myopia or hyperopia who are presbyopic. Includes patients with astigmatism of 0.75 diopters or less if it does not interfere with visual acuity.
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.

{1}------------------------------------------------
#### Equivalent Devices:
The UltraVue/P, UltraVue/C (hioxifilcon B) Soft (Multifocal) Daily Wear Contact Lens is substantially equivalent to the following prodicate devices in terms of intended use and design. Prodicate devices include: the Bi-Soft manufactured by Lombart Lenses, the LifeStyle 4-Vue and LifeStyle Xtra manufactured by The LifeStyle Co., the Horizon 55 Bicon manufactured by Westcon, the Ocu-Flex-53 manufactured by Ocu-Ease Optical, the SimulVue manufactured by Unilens Corp and the BENZ-G 3X manufactured by BENZ Research and Development Corp.
## Device Description:
The Ultra Vue/P, Ultra Vue/C (hioxifilcon B) Soft (Multifocal) Daily Wear Contact Lenses are fabricated from hioxifilcon B. which in the dry (unhydrated) state may be machined and polished. The hydrophilic nature of this material allows the lens to become soft and pliable when immersed in an aqueous solution.
In the hydrated state, the lens conforms to the curvature of the eye covering the cornes and extending slightly beyond the limbus forming a colorless, transparent optical surface. The (hioxifileon B) soft hydrophilic contact lens has a spherical back surface. The hydrophilic properties of the lens require that it be maintained in a fully hydrated state in a solution compatible with the eye. If the lens dries out, it will become hard appear somewhat wareed: however, it will return to its proper configuration when completely rehydrated in the proper storage solution.
The hydrophilic characteristics allow aqueous solutions to enter the lens and in its fully hydrated state the lens is approximately 48% water by weight. The physical properties of the lens are:
| Refractive Index | 1.515 (dry) 1.404 (hydrated) |
|-----------------------------|------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| Color Pigment Name | Phthalocyanine Blue |
| Light Transmission (clear) | greater than 95% T |
| Light Transmission (tinted) | greater than 95% T |
| Water Content | 48 % ±2% |
| Specific Gravity | 1.308 (dry) 1.136 (hydrated) |
| Oxygen Permeability | 15 X 10-11 (cm2/sec) (ml O₂/ml x mm Hg @ 35°C), (revised Fatt method). |
#### Intended Use:
The UltraVue/P, UltraVue/C (hioxifileon B) Soft (Multifocal) Contact Lenses for daily wear are indicated for the correction of visual acuity in aphakic and not aphakic persons with non-diseased eyes with myopia or hyperopia and are presbyopic. The lens may be worn by persons who may exhibit astigmatism of .75 diopters or less where the astigmatism does not interfere with visual acuity.
{2}------------------------------------------------
#### Substantial Equivalence:
The device will be manufactured according to specified process controls and a quality assurance program. The device will undergo manufacturing, packaging and sterilization procedures similar to devices currently marketed and distributed by Les Laboratories Opti-Center Inc. The established safety profile (pre-clinical toxicology and manufacturing/chemistry data) of the device is equivalent to the BENZ-G 3X, 510(k) #K964528. Being similar with respect to indications for use, materials, physical construction and safety & effectiveness to the predicate devices, this meets the requirements per section 510(k) of the act regarding substantial equivalence and does not raise different questions of safety and effectiveness than the predicate devices identified above.
The following matrix illustrates that the production method, lens function and material of the UltraVueP, UltraVue/C (hioxifilcon B) Soft (Multifocal) Daily Wear Contact Lens (Clear & Blue Visibility Tim, Lathe-cut from Lens Blank), are substantially equivalent to the predicate devices. In addition, the water content, polymer, DK value, refractive index, specific gravity, and light transmission are as well substantially equivalent to the predicate devices.
