Intended Use
The Benz-G 4X 54% (Hioxifilcon D) Multifocal Lathed soft contact lens for daily wear is indicated for the correction of visual acuity in aphakic or non-aphakic persons with non-diseased eyes that are myopic, hyperopic, possess astigmatism of 10.0 diopters or less and are presbyopic. The spherical lens may be worn by persons who exhibit astigmatism of 0.75 Diopter or less that does not interfere with visual acuity. The toric lens may be worn by persons who exhibit astigmatism of up to 10 Diopters. Eye care practitioners may prescribe the lens for frequent/planned replacement wear, with cleaning disinfection and scheduled replacement. When prescribed for frequent/planned replacement wear, the lens may be disinfected using a chemical disinfection system.
Device Description
The Benz-G 4X (Hioxifilcon D) Multifocal Lathed soft contact lenses are hemispherical shells and are available as multifocal lens designs. The Benz-G 4X (Hioxifilcon D) Multifocal Lathed soft contact lens is fabricated from Hioxifilcon D, which is a non-ionic copolymer of 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (2-HEMA) and 2,3-, Dihydroxypropyl Methacrylate (Glycerol Methacrylate, GMA) and cross-linkned with ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (EGDMA). It consists of 46% Hioxifilcon Datod 54% water by weight when immersed in normal buffered saline solution buffered. The lens is available with a blue visibility handling tint, phthalocyanato (2) - (copper). In the hydrated state, the lens conforms to the curvature of the eye covering the cornea and extending slightly beyond the limbus forming a colorless, rransparent optical surface. The hydrophilic properties of the lens require that it be maintained in a fully hydrated state in a solution compatible with the eye.
More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes a contact lens and its material properties. There is no mention of software, algorithms, or any technology that would typically incorporate AI/ML.

Yes
The device is a contact lens indicated for the correction of visual acuity, which is a therapeutic purpose.

No

The device description clearly states its purpose is for "correction of visual acuity," indicating it's a corrective device, not one used for diagnosis.

No

The device description clearly states it is a physical contact lens made from specific materials, not software.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
  • Device Function: The Benz-G 4X contact lens is a device that is placed on the eye to correct vision. It does not perform any tests on bodily samples.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is for the correction of visual acuity, not for diagnosis or detection of disease through analysis of bodily fluids or tissues.

Therefore, this contact lens falls under the category of a medical device, but not specifically an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Clinical Data:

It was determined that clinical studies were not necessary to establish the safety and effectiveness of the Benz-G 4X (Hioxifilcon D) Multifocal Lathed lenses.

This Benz-G 4X (Hioxifilcon D) material is identical to the previously cleared Benz-G 4X (Hioxifilcon D) under K062854.

The Benz-G 4X (Hioxifilcon D) Multifocal Lathed lenses have the identical manufacturing process (lathe-cut versus lathed-cut) as the marketed lens Benz-G 4X (Hioxifilcon D) Lathed.

Conclusion:

The information provided in this premarket submission establishes that the Benz-G 4X (Hioxifilcon D) Multifocal Lathed lenses is substantially equivalent in terms of intended use, materials, toxicological and physiochemical properties to the predicate device, Benz-G 4X (Hioxifileon D) Lathed Lens. This change is to correct the visual acuity in aphakic and nonaphakic persons with non-diseased eyes that are myopic, hyperopic, possess astigmatism of 10.0 diopters or less and are presbyopic. This visual acuity correction is achieved with the addition of another optical zone.

Dear Mr. Espinosa:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and 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) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). 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. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); medical device reporting (reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.

If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801), please go to http://www.fda.gov/AboutFDA/CentersOffices/CDRHOffices/ucm115809.htm for the Center for Devices and Radiological Health's (CDRH's) Office of Compliance. Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21CFR Part 807.97). For questions regarding the reporting of adverse events under the MDR regulation (21 CFR Part 803), please go to

http://www.fda.gov/MedicalDevices/Safety/ReportaProblem/default.htm for the CDRH's Office of Surveillance and Biometrics/Division of Postmarket Surveillance.

You may obtain other general information on your responsibilities under the Act from the Division of Small Manufacturers, International and Consumer Assistance at its toll-free number (800) 638-2041 or (301) 796-7100 or at its Internet address http://www.fda.gov/MedicalDevices/Resourcesfor You/Industry/default.htm.
