Intended Use
AOSEPT Clear Care Cleaning and Disinfecting Solution is indicated for use in simultaneous cleaning, daily protein removal, disinfecting, and storing of soft (hydrophilic) contact lenses as recommended by your eye care practitioner.
Device Story
Aqueous contact lens solution containing 3% hydrogen peroxide (stabilized with phosphonic acid), sodium chloride, phosphate buffer, and non-ionic surfactant. Used by patients for cleaning, disinfecting, protein removal, and storage of soft contact lenses. Operates via chemical disinfection; no manual rub/rinse step required. Solution provides lens cleanliness and insertion comfort. Benefits include simplified maintenance regimen and improved patient comfort/dryness compared to multi-purpose solutions requiring manual rubbing.
Clinical Evidence
Three-month prospective, randomized, single-masked, contralateral clinical trial. Compared AOSEPT Clear Care (no-rub) to Bausch & Lomb ReNu Multi-Plus (rub/rinse). Results showed statistically significant preference for AOSEPT in insertion comfort, dryness, and lens cleanliness (p<0.01). Investigator appraisal of lens deposits and dark-field image analysis showed no statistically significant differences between groups; both provided clinically acceptable cleanliness.
Technological Characteristics
Aqueous solution: 3% hydrogen peroxide, phosphonic acid stabilizer, sodium chloride, phosphate buffer, non-ionic surfactant. Chemical disinfection principle. Standalone consumer product. No software or electronic components.
Indications for Use
Indicated for simultaneous cleaning, daily protein removal, disinfecting, and storing of soft (hydrophilic) contact lenses for patients as recommended by an eye care practitioner.

### Cleaning Studies
Previous studies have demonstrated the cleaning capacity of AOSEPT Clear Care Cleaning and Disinfecting Solution (K003345) with soft contact lenses. The study previously submitted and reviewed demonstrated that AOSept Clear Care was substantially equivalent to the ReNu Multiplus and OptiFree Express in terms of daily protein removal.
### Microbiology
A series of studies were completed to demonstrate the microbiological efficacy of AOSEPT Clear Care. These studies were previously submitted under 510(k) K003345. These studies demonstrate that AOSEPT Clear Care meets the stand-alone criteria of

## Clinical Evaluation Summary:
### Overview
A three-month prospective, randomized, single masked, contralateral trial was preformed. Study participants were all randomized for which eye used the test and which eye used the control product. The control used in the study was Bausch & Lomb ReNu Multi-Plus Multi-Purpose solution. The regimen followed by the participants was the manufacturer's instructions for the eye using the control product (including rub and rinse) and the instructions provided for the eye using the test product (no rub/no rinse). The contra-lateral design and inclusion criteria optimize sensitivity in comparing the products.
Statistically significant differences in favor of AOSept Clear Care were found for insertion comfort and overall dryness. Statistically significant preference differences in those who expressed a preference in favor of AOSept Clear Care were also found for insertion comfort, dryness and lens cleanliness. Statistically significant differences (at the 0.01 or greater level) in favor of AOSept Clear Care were also found for all subjective ratings. Statistically significant differences (0.01 or greater) in favor of AOSept Clear Care were found for all subjective preference rankings.
Front surface wetting of the lenses was observed by the investigators and was found to be similar between the two lens groups. In addition, there were no statistically significant differences in investigator appraisal of lens deposits, front surface wetting and objective dark-field image analysis of lenses worn for 90 days. Both the test and control product provided clinically acceptable lens cleanliness when used according to their directions for use as measured by dark filed image analysis of the returned lenses.
The safety of AOSept Clear Care used without a rub (for lenses worn greater than onemonth), is clinically acceptable and similar to the Bausch & Lomb ReNu Multi-Purpose Solution used according to its approval labeling, which requires a digital rubbing step.
### 7. Substantial Equivalence
AOSept Clear Care Cleaning and Disinfection Solution is substantially equivalent to the Bausch & Lomb ReNu Multi-Purpose Solution in cleaning, disinfecting, daily protein removal and storing of soft (hydrophilic) contact lenses as recommended by your eye care practitioner. The system was also shown to be substantially equivalent to the ReNu Multiplus Solution in daily removal of protein.
