Predicate Device: Horizon 55 (methafilcon A) Sphere, Toric, Progressive, Progressive Toric 510(k) #K992010 Manufactured By: Westcon Contact Lens #### Device Description: The Ocu-Flex 55 Spherical, Toric, Thin Zone Toric, Aspherical, Toric Aspherical and Thin Zone Toric Aspherical (methafilcon A) Soft Contact Lenses are fabricated from methafilcon A, 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 cornea and extending slightly bevond the limbus forming a colorless, transparent optical surface. The hydrophilic properties of the lens require that it be maintained in a fully hydrated state in a solution compatible with the eve. If the lens dries out, it will become hard and appear somewhat warped however, it will return to its proper configuration when completely rehydrated in the proper storage solution. The ionic lens material (methafilcon A) is a hydrophilic co-polymer of 2hydroxvethyl methacrylate and methacrylic acid crosslinked with ethylene glycol dimethacrylate. When fully hydrated in a 0.9% sodium chloride solution, the lens is 55% water by weight. In that fully hydrated state the lens is soft and readily wet by saline and aqueous solution. {2}------------------------------------------------ 510(k) Premarket Notification Ocu-Flex 55 Spherical, Toric, Thin Zone Toric, Aspherical, Toric Aspherical and Thin Zone Toric Aspherical (methafilcon A) Soft Contact Lenses for Daily Wear (clear or tinted) #### SUMMARY OF SAFETY AND EFFECTIVENESS (continued) The Ocu-Flex 55 Spherical, Toric, Thin Zone Toric, Aspherical, Toric Aspherical and Thin Zone Toric Aspherical (methafilcon A) Soft Contact Lenses are available as a spherical, toric, aspheric and toric aspheric design. The physical properties of the lens are: Refractive Index Light Transmission Specific Gravity Water Content Color Pigment Name Oxygen Permeability 1.4153 greater than 95% T 1.090 g/cc ર્ રેજી Phthalocyanine Blue Dk=18x10-11 @ 35°C #### Intended Use: The Ocu-Flex 55 Spherical, Toric, Thin Zone Toric, Aspherical, Toric Aspherical and Thin Zone Toric Aspherical (methafilcon A) Soft Contact Lenses are indicated for daily wear for the correction of refractive ametropia (myopia, hyperopia and astigmatism) in not-aphakic persons with non-diseased eyes. The Ocu-Flex 55 Spherical (methafilcon A) Soft Contact Lens is indicated for daily wear for the correction of visual acuity in aphakic or not-aphakic persons with non-diseased eyes that are nearsighted (myopic) or farsighted (hyperopic) and may exhibit astigmatism of 1.50D or less that does not interfere with visual acuity. The Ocu-Flex 55 Toric and Thin Zone Toric (methafilcon A) Soft Contact Lens is indicated for daily wear for the correction of visual acuity in aphakic or notaphakic persons with non-diseased eyes that are myopic or hyperopic and is intended to correct astigmatism of 4.50D or less that does not interfere with visual acuity. The Ocu-Flex 55 Aspherical (methafilcon A) Soft Contact Lens is indicated for daily wear for the correction of visual acuity in aphakic or not-aphakic persons with non-diseased eves that are mvopic, or hyperopic, and/or presbyopic, and which may exhibit astigmatism of up to 1.50D or less that does not interfere with visual acuity. {3}------------------------------------------------ 510(k) Premarket Notification Ocu-Flex 55 Spherical, Toric, Thin Zone Toric, Aspherical, Toric Aspherical and Thin Zone Toric Aspherical (methafilcon A) Soft Contact Lenses for Daily Wear (clear or tinted) #### SUMMARY OF SAFETY AND EFFECTIVENESS (continued) The Ocu-Flex 55 Toric Aspherical and Thin Zone Toric Aspherical (methafilcon A) Soft Contact Lens is indicated for daily wear for the correction of visual acuity in aphakic or not-aphakic persons with non-diseased eyes that are myopic, or hyperopic, and/or presbyopic and is intended to correct astigmatism of 4.50D or less that does not interfere with visual acuity. The lens may be disinfected with chemical (not heat) disinfection system. #### Substantial Equivalence: The new device will be manufactured according to specified process controls and a Quality Management System certified to CGMP guidelines currently in place. The device will undergo manufacturing, packaging and sterilization procedures similar to devices currently manufactured, marketed and distributed by Ocu-Ease Optical Products, Inc. The established safety profile (pre-clinical toxicology and manufacturing/chemistry data) of the device is equivalent to the BENZ - MF (methafilcon A), 510k #K980418 and K003861. Being similar with respect to indications for use, materials, physical construction and safety and 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 Ocu-Flex 55 Spherical, Toric, Thin Zone Toric, Aspherical, Toric Aspherical and Thin Zone Toric Aspherical (methafilcon A) Soft Contact Lenses for Daily Wear is substantially equivalent to the predicate device. In addition, the water content, polymer, Dk value, refractive index, specific gravity, and light transmission are as well substantially equivalent to the predicate device. Signed: Charles R.
