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.

# 5. Device Description
The Avaira (enfilcon A) soft contact lens is a Group I, daily wear silicone hydrogel contact lens that is not surface treated and is characterized by a high oxygen permeability (Dk). The lens material, enfilcon A, is composed of silicone macromers cross linked with other monomers, incorporating phthalocyanine blue as an integrated, handling tint. A UV blocker is added to reduce the amount of ultraviolet light transmitted into the eye. The lenses are manufactured in spherical, aspherical, toric and multifocal configurations. The Avaira (enfilcon A) Soft (hydrophilic) contact lenses are a hemispherical shell. The physical properties and available dimensions are unchanged from predicate 510(k)s.
# 6. Intended Use
#### SPHERICAL AND ASPHERICAL:
Avaira (enfilcon A) SPHERE and ASPHERE Soft Contact lenses are indicated for the correction of ametropia (myopia and hyperopia) in aphakic and non-aphakic persons with non-diseased eyes. The lenses may be worn by persons who exhibit astigmatism of 2.00 diopters or less that does not interfere with visual acuity.
#### TORIC:
Avaira (enfilcon A) TORIC Soft Contact lenses are indicated for the correction of ametropia (myopia or hyperopia with astigmatism) in aphakic and non-aphakic persons with non-diseased eyes in powers from -20.00 to +20.00 diopters and astigmatic corrections from -0.25 to -10.00 diopters.
#### MULTIFOCAL:
Avaira (enfilcon A) MULTIFOCAL lenses are indicated for the correction of refractive ametropia (myopia and hyperopia) and emmetropia with presbyopia in aphakic and non-aphakic persons with non-diseased eyes. The lenses may be worn by persons who exhibit astigmatism of 2.00 diopters or less that does not interfere with visual acuity.
The Avaira (enfilcon A) Soft (Hydrophilic) Contact Lenses are indicated for daily wear. When prescribed for planned replacement the lens may be disinfected using a chemical or hydrogen peroxide disinfecting systems. The lens may also be prescribed for single-use disposable daily wear.

# 7. Predicate Device(s)
Avaira (enfilcon A) Soft (Hydrophilic) Contact Lens for Daily Wear (K071736) cleared January 4. 2008.
# 8. Characteristics of Substantial Equivalence
The soft contact lenses have the following similarities to the predicate lens that previously received 510(k) clearance:
- . have the same indicated use,
- incorporate the same design, .
- incorporate the same materials, .
- . have the same shelf life, and
- are packaged and sterilized using the same materials and processes. .
The modifications to the stability/shelf life protocol include an alternate test method for package integrity and adjusted storage temperatures for the packaged products that will be tested using alternate package integrity test method.
In summary, the enfilcon A soft contact lenses described in this submission are substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
#### 9. Physiochemical Studies
Results from physical, optical and chemical properties were not required as support for this modification to shelf life protocol. Change will not affect physicochemical properties of the lenses.
#### 10. Toxicology Studies
Results from in-vivo and in-vitro studies were not required as support for this modification to shelf life protocol. Change will not affect lenses ability to remain non-toxic and biocompatible with the ocular environment.
{3}------------------------------------------------
# K113245
# 11. Conclusions of Non-Clinical Tests Performed:
- 트 Physiochemical:
The physical, optical and chemical properties of this lens remain unchanged from the unmodified device, and are within established specifications for the lenses.
- . Toxicology:
Results from in-vivo and in-vitro studies originally conducted remain valid and verify that the lenses remain non-toxic and are biocompatible with the ocular environment.
#### 12. Clinical Studies
The technical characteristics, formulation, manufacturing, and sterilization processes of this lens are not changing and therefore are equivalent to enfilcon A soft contact lenses currently marketed by CooperVision, therefore no clinical data is required.
#### 13. Conclusions
Based on no change to material, no change to manufacturing methods, no change to lens parameters and no change to indicated use, the enfilcon A soft contact lens described in this document are substantially equivalent to the predicate devices.
