Intended Use

The Resolution 5X (Spherical) (hioxifilcon A) Soft Contact Lenses for daily wear are indicated for the correction of visual acuity in aphakic and not aphakic persons with non-diseased eyes with myopia or hyperopia. The lens may be worn by persons who exhibit refractive astigmatism of .75 diopters or less where the astigmatism does not interfere with visual acuity.

The Ultra Gel 5X (Toric) (hioxifilcon A) Soft Contact Lenses for daily wear are indicated for the correction of visual acuity in aphakic and not aphakic persons with non-diseased eyes with myopia or hyperopia and/or possesses refractive astigmatism not exceeding 10 diopters.

Device Description

The Resolution 5X (Spherical) and Ultra Gel 5X (Toric) (hioxifilcon A) Soft Daily Wear Contact Lenses are fabricated from hioxifilcon A, which in the dry (unhydrated) state may be machined and polished. The hydrophilic nature of this material allows the lens to become soft and pliable when immersed in an aqueous solution.

In the hydrated state, the lens conforms to the curvature of the cornea and extending slightly beyond the limbus forming a colorless, transparent optical surface. The (hioxifilcon A) soft hydrophilic contact lens has a spherical back surface. The hydrophilic properties of the lens require that it be maintained in a fully hydrated state in a solution compatible with the eye. If the lens dries out, it will become hard and appear somewhat warped however, it will return to its proper configuration when completely rehydrated in the proper storage solution.

The hydrophilic characteristics allow aqueous solutions to enter the lens and in its fully hydrated state the lens is approximately 58% water by weight.

AI/ML Overview

This document is a 510(k) summary for the Resolution 5X (Spherical) and Ultra Gel 5X (Toric) Hioxifilcon A Soft Daily Wear Contact Lenses. The submission asserts substantial equivalence to predicate devices rather than providing a study that establishes de novo acceptance criteria and demonstrates the device meets them.

Therefore, the following information is not applicable or not present in the provided text:

  • Acceptance criteria table and reported device performance directly addressing those criteria.
  • Sample sizes used for a test set, data provenance, number of experts, qualifications of experts, or adjudication methods for a test set.
  • Multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study, including effect size information.
  • Standalone (algorithm-only) performance study.
  • Type of ground truth used for a testing evaluation.
  • Sample size for a training set.
  • How ground truth for a training set was established.

This is a traditional 510(k) submission, which relies on demonstrating that the new device is as safe and effective as a legally marketed predicate device. The primary evaluation here is a comparison to predicate devices, not a clinical trial establishing new performance criteria.

Here's a breakdown of the information that is present and relevant to the concept of demonstrating safety and effectiveness through substantial equivalence:

1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance:

This specific table, as would be expected for a de novo submission or a clinical trial report, is not present. Instead, the document provides a "Substantial Equivalence Matrix" comparing the new device's characteristics to its predicate devices. The "acceptance criteria" are implicitly met if the new device's characteristics are similar enough to the predicate devices such that it does not raise new questions of safety and effectiveness.

Not applicable. No separate "test set" for performance evaluation in the context of a new acceptance criterion is described, as this is a substantial equivalence submission. The pre-clinical toxicology and manufacturing/chemistry data were deemed equivalent to the predicate device (BENZ-G 5X, K952620), but details on those specific tests are not provided in this summary.

6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done:

Not applicable. This is not an algorithmic device.

7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.):

Not applicable. Safety and effectiveness are demonstrated by substantial equivalence to predicate devices, drawing from their established safety profiles.

8. The sample size for the training set:

Not applicable.

9. How the ground truth for the training set was established:

Dear Mr. Dalsing:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) notification of intent to market the device referenced above and we have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to 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). 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.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (Premarket Approval), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 895. A substantially equivalent determination assumes compliance with the current Good Manufacturing Practice requirements, as set forth in the Quality System Regulation (QS) for Medical Devices: General regulation (21 CFR Part 820) and that, through periodic (QS) inspections, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will verify such assumptions. Failure to comply with the GMP regulation may result in regulatory action. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register. Please note: this response to your premarket notification submission does not affect any obligation you might have under sections 531 through 542 of the Act for devices under the Electronic Product Radiation Control provisions, or other Federal laws or regulations .

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.(b)
Classification. (1) Class II if the device is intended for daily wear only.(2) Class III if the device is intended for extended wear.
(c)
Date PMA or notice of completion of a PDP is required. As of May 28, 1976, an approval under section 515 of the act is required before a device described in paragraph (b)(2) of this section may be commercially distributed. See § 886.3.
