Indications for Use Comparison (21 CFR 807.92(a)(5))

The indications for use of the subject device remain the same as for the predicate device. The predicate device is characterized by its initial/original 510(k) K113168 and its most recent 510(k) K243909 for a manufacturing change.

Technological Comparison (21 CFR 807.92(a)(6))

The subject device and the predicate device are the same contact lens. The subject device differs from the predicate device only in that the lens dimensional specifications have been updated. This update does not alter the lens design, geometry concept, materials, manufacturing process, or performance characteristics. The device technological characteristics remain unchanged as follows:

  • Design: Soft hydrophilic contact lenses
  • Material: Silicone hydrogel lens material with a water content of approximately 33% and a water gradient surface treatment.
  • Chemical composition: Delefilcon A lens material including a light blue tint that makes the lenses easier to see when handling.
  • Principle of operation: When hydrated and placed on the cornea, the lenses act as a refracting medium to focus light rays on the retina.
  • Energy source: N/A

Non-Clinical and/or Clinical Tests Summary & Conclusions (21 CFR 807.92(b))

Non-Clinical Testing:

Alcon has performed stability testing of the modified (subject) DAILIES TOTAL 1® contact lenses to verify their stability profile and to confirm that the stability behavior of these lenses matches the predicate device, i.e. currently commercialized DAILIES TOTAL 1® contact lenses. Results to-date demonstrate that all tested lens attributes remain within proposed acceptance limits at both ambient 25 °C/40% RH and the accelerated condition 45 °C/20% RH. Average and individual results for power (±0.25 D), base curve (±0.20 mm), and diameter (±0.20 mm) were consistently within specification across all lots and intervals. Visual inspection confirmed that all samples passed applicable stability inspection standards. The results support the conclusion that DAILIES TOTAL 1® dimensional stability trends are robust and predictable.

Clinical Testing:

A clinical trial has been successfully completed comparing test delefilcon A lenses (subject device) to the comparator or predicate device, commercially available DAILIES TOTAL 1® (DT1) delefilcon A contact lenses. This clinical investigation was a prospective, randomized, double-masked, crossover, multi-center clinical trial. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the lens fit characteristics and subjective assessments of comfort and vision of delefilcon A soft contact lenses in different base curves and diameters. Noninferiority was demonstrated for all primary and key exploratory effectiveness endpoints. Across analyses, both lenses showed stable, centered fit classifications and high subjective ratings. In conclusion, the clinical findings were consistent between lenses within the context of this study and did not identify additional safety concerns for the subject device under the evaluated daily-wear, single-use conditions.

Overall Conclusion:

The results of the nonclinical bench testing, including stability testing, demonstrated that the device stability characteristics of the subject DAILIES TOTAL1® soft contact lenses remain unchanged from those of the predicate lenses. Clinical evaluation of DAILIES TOTAL1® lenses with the proposed change has proven that these lenses perform noninferior to the predicate lenses, confirming that the proposed change can be made without impacting the established clinical safety and effectiveness / performance of the device.

Alcon believes the testing and documentation provided herein sufficiently support the claim of substantial equivalence of the subject device with current DAILIES TOTAL1® contact lenses, as originally cleared under K113168, with most recent update under K243909.
