Intended Use

Anterior chamber lenses are used for the replacement of the human lens in the visual correction of aphakia. These anterior chamber intraocular lenses are to be used in patients 60 years of age and older where a cataractous lens has been removed by primary intracapsular cataract extraction (ICCE); or by primary extracapsular cataract extraction (ECCE) where there is a structural reason that the anterior chamber lens is the preferred one; or other primary ECCE provided that this be performed only after the physician has compared the published results of the anterior chamber lens with posterior chamber lenses; or in a secondary implant procedure.

Device Story

Anterior chamber intraocular lens (IOL) designed for surgical implantation to replace human lens following cataract extraction. Device functions as permanent optical implant; restores visual acuity in aphakic patients. Implanted by ophthalmologists in surgical settings. Provides refractive correction; benefits include improved visual outcomes for patients with cataractous lens removal. Device manufactured from ultraviolet-absorbing PMMA.

Clinical Evidence

Clinical evaluation included 722 patients followed for 12-14 months. Primary endpoints included visual acuity and incidence of adverse reactions/postoperative complications compared against historical FDA 'grid' data. Results showed 80.5% of patients achieved 20/40 or better visual acuity. Complication rates (e.g., macular edema, corneal edema, hyphema) were evaluated; while some metrics varied from historical controls, overall clinical performance was deemed consistent with anterior chamber IOLs, and benefits were determined to outweigh risks.

Technological Characteristics

Ultraviolet-absorbing PMMA material. Anterior chamber IOL design. Biocompatibility established via acute and chronic toxicity testing. Manufacturing includes sterilization processes validated through preclinical testing and facility inspections. Shelf life established at five years.

Indications for Use

Indicated for visual correction of aphakia in patients 60+ years old following primary ICCE, primary ECCE (where anterior chamber lens is preferred or after physician comparison with posterior chamber lenses), or secondary implant procedures.

Regulatory Classification

Identification

An intraocular lens is a device made of materials such as glass or plastic intended to be implanted to replace the natural lens of an eye.

Applicant’s Name and Address: Ophthalmic Innovations International, Inc. 4290 East Brickell Street Ontario, CA 91761 E. Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) Inspections: November 20, 2000 (applicant) and March 16, 2001 (sterilizer) F. Ophthalmic Devices Panel: April 21, 1988 II. INDICATIONS Anterior chamber lenses are used for the replacement of the human lens in the visual correction of aphakia. These anterior chamber intraocular lenses are to be used in patients 60 years of age and older where a cataractous lens has been removed by primary intracapsular cataract extraction (ICCE); or by primary extracapsular cataract extraction (ECCE) where there is a structural reason that the anterior chamber lens is the preferred one; or other primary ECCE provided that this be performed only after the physician has compared the published results of the anterior chamber lens with posterior chamber lenses; or in a secondary implant procedure. III. CENTER FOR DEVICES AND RADIOLOGICAL HEALTH (CDRH) DECISION The application includes by reference the data in PMA P860034 for the Allergan Medical Optics (now Allergan, Inc.) Model AC-21B Anterior Chamber IOL, which was approved by FDA on September 29, 1989. Allergan, Inc. has authorized Ophthalmic Innovations International, Inc. (OII) to incorporate by reference the information contained in its approved PMA to manufacture the lenses. OII will use the manufacturing process previously approved under P970034 for Ultraviolet-Absorbing PMMA Posterior Chamber IOLs and has incorporated information from that application by reference. Preclinical validation studies, including optical, dimensional, and physicochemical testing, were submitted to support the equivalence of OII- and Allergan-manufactured Model AC21B IOLs. The device’s shelf life has been established as five years. CDRH approval of the Ophthalmic Innovations International PMA is based on (1) the safety and effectiveness data contained in PMA P860034, (2) preclinical studies demonstrating equivalence between OII- and Allergan-manufactured lenses, and (3) the results of the FDA inspection of the manufacturing facility. A summary of safety and effectiveness data for the Allergan, Inc. Model AC21B Anterior Chamber IOL appears in Attachment A. {1} On April 21, 1988, the Ophthalmic Devices Panel reviewed the PMA for the Allergan Medical Optics AC-21B anterior chamber IOL (P860034) and recommended approval. CDRH concurred with the Panel recommendation and approved this application (P860034) and final labeling on September 29, 1989. In accordance with CDRH’s announced policy (4/18/86 PMA Guidance Memorandum #86-4), this licensing PMA was not taken to the Panel. CDRH approved this application (P010027) and final labeling on November 21, 2001. In an on-site inspection on November 20, 2000, the manufacturing facility was found to be in compliance with the device Good Manufacturing Practice regulations.

F. Ophthalmic Devices Panel (Panel): Date Reviewed: April 21, 1988 Recommendation: Approval II. INDICATIONS These devices are indicated for the visual correction of aphakia in patients 60 years of age and older where a cataractous lens has been removed by primary intracapsular cataract extraction (ICCE); or primary extracapsular cataract extraction (ECCE), where there is a structural reason that the anterior chamber lens is the preferred one; or other primary ECCE provided that this be performed only after the physician has compared the published results of the anterior chamber lens with posterior chamber lenses; or in a secondary implant procedure. III. SUMMARY The applicant has performed nonclinical and clinical testing on these devices in accordance with the FDA guidance document for testing intraocular lenses dated June 9, 1980. Non-clinical testing demonstrates the safety and effectiveness of these devices from microbiology, toxicology, chemistry, engineering, and manufacturing perspectives. Data on 722 patients followed postoperatively for 12—14 months were clinically and statistically evaluated against historical controls. The clinical performance of these devices, i.e., certain complications and adverse reactions and visual acuity {3} Page 2 - P860034 - Summary of Safety and Effectiveness Data results, is consistent with the overall clinical performance of anterior chamber IOLs. While certain aspects of the clinical performance of these devices fall below that contained in FDA's 1981 IOL "grid" of historical data and below the clinical performance of posterior chamber IOLs in general, the detailed data presented in the PMA demonstrate that the benefits outweigh the risks when the devices are implanted in accordance with the indications described above in Section II and in the approved labeling. # IV. SAFETY AND EFFECTIVE24ESS DATA A. The applicant conducted a battery of in-vivo and in-vitro acute and chronic toxicity tests that establish the biocompatibility of the lens materials. Additionally, data from chemistry and engineering analyses further demonstrate the suitability of the material and overall device design for use in an intraocular lens. The adequacy of the manufacturing processes, including sterilization, was established through review of manufacturing information in the P14k as well as through on-site inspections. B.
