AGENCY: Food and Drug Administration, HHS.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

This notice announces a forthcoming meeting of a public advisory committee of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The meeting will be open to the public.

Name of Committee: Ophthalmic Devices Panel of the Medical Devices Advisory Committee.

General Function of the Committee: To provide advice and recommendations to the Agency on FDA's regulatory issues.

Date and Time: The meeting will be held on June 6, 2014, from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Location: Hilton Washington, DC North/Gaithersburg, salons A, B, C, and D, 620 Perry Pkwy., Gaithersburg, MD 20877. The hotel telephone number is 301-977-8900.

Contact Person: Natasha Facey, Center for Devices and Radiological Health, Food and Drug Administration, 10903 New Hampshire Ave., Bldg. 66, Rm. 1552, Silver Spring, MD 20993, 301-796-5290, Natasha.Facey@fda.hhs.gov, or FDA Advisory Committee Information Line, 1-800-741-8138 (301-443-0572 in the Washington, DC area). A notice in the Federal Register about last minute modifications that impact a previously announced advisory committee meeting cannot always be published quickly enough to provide timely notice. Therefore, you should always check the Agency's Web site at http://www.fda.gov/AdvisoryCommittees/default.htm and scroll down to the appropriate advisory committee meeting link, or call the advisory committee information line to learn about possible modifications before coming to the meeting.

Agenda: On June 6, 2014, the committee will discuss, make recommendations, and vote on information related to the premarket approval application for the KAMRA Inlay (Model ACI 7000) (KAMRA Inlay) submitted by applicant AcuFocus, Inc. The KAMRA Inlay is a permanent corneal implant that is placed intrastromally in a corneal pocket or under a corneal flap. The opaque annulus of the inlay reduces the aperture of the eye, which improves near vision by providing an increased depth of focus in the implanted eye. The proposed indication for use states that the KAMRA Inlay is indicated for the improvement of near and intermediate vision in presbyopic patients who require near or intermediate correction. The KAMRA Inlay is intended to be placed intrastromally in the cornea, on the visual axis, by way of a femtosecond laser-created pocket using a spot/line separation of 6x6 microns (micro) or less. The KAMRA Inlay should be placed at a depth equal to or greater than 180 micro.

FDA intends to make background material available to the public no later than 2 business days before the meeting. If FDA is unable to post the background material on its Web site prior to the meeting, the background material will be made publicly available at the location of the advisory committee meeting, and the background material will be posted on FDA's Web site after the meeting. Background material is available at http://www.fda.gov/AdvisoryCommittees/Calendar/default.htm. Scroll down to the appropriate advisory committee meeting link.

Procedure: Interested persons may present data, information, or views, orally or in writing, on issues pending before the committee. Written submissions may be made to the contact person on or before May 30, 2014. Oral presentations from the public will be scheduled between approximately 1 p.m. and 2 p.m. on June 6, 2014. Those individuals interested in making formal oral presentations should notify the contact person and submit a brief statement of the general nature of the evidence or arguments they wish to present, the names and addresses of proposed participants, and an indication of the approximate time requested to make their presentation on or before May 21, 2014. Time allotted for each presentation may be limited. If the number of registrants requesting to speak is greater than can be reasonably accommodated during the scheduled open public hearing session, FDA may conduct a lottery to determine the speakers for the scheduled open public hearing session. The contact person will notify interested persons regarding their request to speak by May 27, 2014.
