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. ## Predicate Devices - Precision UV (vasurfilcon A) Hydrophilic Contact Lenses ([K961299](/device/K961299.md)) - Precision UV (vasurfilcon A) Hydrophilic Contact Lenses ([P940013](/device/P940013.md)) ## Reference Devices - Allergan Medical Optic's PMA [P790020](/device/P790020.md) ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).

Name of the Device: Proprietarv Name: Precision UVTM (vasurfilcon A) - 3. Identification of Predicate Device: Same as above ## B. Indication 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. ## C. Description of device: Precision UV™ (vasurfilcon A) Hydrophilic Contact Lenses are available as clear and locator tinted spherical lenses in the power range from -16.00 to + 10.00 diopters, center thickness from 0.09 - 0.17 mm (minus lenses) and 0.22 - 0.41 mm (plus lenses) with base curves of 8.4 and 8.7mm and a diameter of 14.4mm. The lens material. vasurfilcon A. is a hydrophilic random copolymer of N-vinyl-pyrrolidone (NVP), Methl methacrylate (MMA), Allyl methacrylate (AMA), Ultraviolet absorbing monomer (UVAM) and AIBN (Azo-Iso-butyronitrile) as an initiator. It consists of 74% water and 26% vasurfilicon A. {1}------------------------------------------------ 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).
