K963013 is an FDA 510(k) clearance for the PREFERENCE 60 AND PREFERENCE 60 TORIC. Classified as Lenses, Soft Contact, Daily Wear (product code LPL), Class II - Special Controls.

Submitted by CooperVision, Inc. (Scottsville,, US). The FDA issued a Cleared decision on December 19, 1997 after a review of 507 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. The Traditional 510(k) pathway establishes clearance through substantial equivalence to a legally marketed predicate device, without requiring clinical trial data.

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.
