## Indications for Use

Precision UV™ (vasurfilcon A) Hydrophilic Contact Lenses are indicated for the correction of visual acuity in not-aphakic persons with non-diseased eyes that are myopic or hyperopic and may have 2.00 diopters(D) or less of comeal astigmatism that does not interfere with visual acuity. The contact lenses may be prescribed for daily wear. The eye care practitioner may prescribe the contact lens for either single-use disposable wear or for frequent replacement wear, with cleaning, disinfecting and scheduled replacement. When prescribed for frequent replacement wear, the contact lens may be disinfected using a chemical, heat or hydrogen peroxide disinfecting system. Precision UV lenses help protect against transmission of harmful UV radiation to the comea and into the eye.

## Device Story

Precision UV (vasurfilcon A) hydrophilic contact lenses; daily wear; indicated for myopia, hyperopia, and low astigmatism. Lens material consists of 74% water and 26% vasurfilcon A (copolymer of NVP, MMA, AMA, UVAM, and AIBN). Available as clear or locator tinted spherical lenses; power range -16.00 to +10.00 D. Prescribed by eye care practitioners for single-use disposable or frequent replacement wear. Frequent replacement requires cleaning and disinfection (chemical, heat, or hydrogen peroxide). Lenses incorporate UV-absorbing monomer to protect against UV radiation transmission to the cornea/eye. Device is identical to previously marketed versions; submission covers labeling modifications.

## Clinical Evidence

No new clinical data presented. Substantial equivalence supported by previously submitted data, epidemiological studies, and non-clinical research reports under K961299 and P940013.

## Technological Characteristics

Hydrophilic contact lens; material: vasurfilcon A (copolymer of N-vinyl-pyrrolidone, methyl methacrylate, allyl methacrylate, UV-absorbing monomer, and AIBN initiator). Water content: 74%. Dimensions: 14.4 mm diameter; base curves 8.4/8.7 mm; center thickness 0.09-0.41 mm. UV-absorbing properties integrated into material. Daily wear modality.

## Regulatory 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.

Precision UV™ (vasurfilcon A) Hydrophilic Contact Lenses are currently marketed domestically and internationally by Wesley Jessen Corporation under PMA P940013. Previously, they were marketed by Pilkington Barnes Hind under Allergan Medical Optic's PMA P790020.

#### D. Substantial Equivalence/Safety & Effectiveness:

Precision UV™ (vasurfilcon A) Hydrophilic Contact Lenses are identical to previously marketed
Precision UV™ (vasurfilcon A) Hydrophilic Contact Lenses of the same material as under 510(k) premarket notification, K961299, and PMA P940013 for all properties (physical, optical, chemical, biocompatible, microbiological, and clinical). There were no changes to the lens material or design; however, the associated labeling and indications were changed.

#### E. Summary:

Wesley Jessen considers the study, data and referenced literature (epidemiological studies, non-clinical research reports, studies on the nature of UV energy, etc.) submitted under 510(k) premarket notification, K982988, and PMA Supplement, P940013/S6, evidence supporting the additional intended use and associated modified labeling.

Dear Mr. Foos:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) notification of intent to market the device referenced above and we 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). 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 (Premarket Approval), 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 895. A substantially equivalent determination assumes compliance with the Current Good Manufacturing Practice requirements, as set forth in the Quality System Regulation (OS) for Medical Devices: General regulation (21 CFR Part 820) and that, through periodic QS inspections, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will verify such assumptions. Failure to comply with the GMP regulation may result in regulatory action. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register. Please note: this response to your premarket notification submission does not affect any obligation you might have under sections 531 through 542 of the Act for devices under the Electronic Product Radiation Control provisions, or other Federal laws or regulations.
