K091327 is an FDA 510(k) clearance for the ALDEN HP 54 SPHEE 7 HIP 54 TORIC CONTACT LENSES, ALDEN HP 54 MULTIFOCAL &HP 5.... Classified as Lenses, Soft Contact, Daily Wear (product code LPL), Class II - Special Controls.

Submitted by Alden Optical Labs., Inc. (Alden, US). The FDA issued a Cleared decision on June 25, 2010 after a review of 416 days - an unusually long review period, suggesting complex equivalence evaluation.

This device falls under the Ophthalmic FDA review panel, regulated under 21 CFR 886.5925 - the FDA ophthalmic device framework. As a Special 510(k), this submission covers a manufacturer modification to an existing cleared device rather than a new device introduction.

Device pattern: High-complexity regulatory submission. Elevated predicate reliance profile. The extended review timeline suggests the FDA required additional documentation before confirming substantial equivalence - a pattern common in complex or first-of-kind Ophthalmic submissions.
