Intended Use
Bausch & Lomb Multi-Purpose Solution NRC03 is indicated for use in the daily cleaning, removal of protein deposits, rinsing, chemical (not heat) disinfection and storage of soft (hydrophilic) contact lenses as recommended by your eye care practitioner.
Device Story
Bausch & Lomb Multi-Purpose Solution NRC03 is a sterile, isotonic chemical solution for soft contact lens maintenance. It contains boric acid, sodium chloride, sodium phosphate, Hydranate (hydroxyalkylphosphonate), poloxamer 407, polyquaternium-10, poloxamine 1107, and polyaminopropyl biguanide (0.0001%) as a preservative. The solution is used by patients at home for daily cleaning, rinsing, chemical disinfection, and storage of lenses. It functions by surfactant-based cleaning and chemical disinfection to remove protein deposits and maintain lens hygiene. The solution is packaged in a plastic bottle with a tamper-evident seal. It benefits patients by providing a convenient, non-heat disinfection method that maintains lens wettability and prevents protein buildup, thereby supporting comfortable lens wear.
Clinical Evidence
A 3-month controlled, randomized clinical study evaluated safety and efficacy. Preclinical testing included cytotoxicity and eye irritation studies (no toxicity found), lens compatibility studies, and microbiology disinfection efficacy testing per FDA guidance. Cleaning efficacy was validated via Critical Micelle Concentration determination and protein deposition analysis using image analysis. Results demonstrated statistical equivalence to control regimens in protein removal and lens cleanliness, with statistically significant improvements in lens wettability.
Technological Characteristics
Sterile isotonic solution. Ingredients: boric acid, sodium chloride, sodium phosphate, Hydranate (hydroxyalkylphosphonate), poloxamer 407, polyquaternium-10, poloxamine 1107, purified water, and polyaminopropyl biguanide (0.0001%). Form factor: plastic bottle with tamper-evident seal. Function: chemical disinfection and surfactant-based cleaning. No software or electronic components.
Indications for Use
Indicated for daily cleaning, protein deposit removal, rinsing, chemical disinfection, and storage of soft (hydrophilic) contact lenses for patients as recommended by an eye care practitioner.

#### 2. Device Name
Classification Name: Soft (hydrophilic) Contact Lens Care Solution
Proprietary Name: Bausch & Lomb Multi-Purpose Solution NRC03
#### Predicate Devices 3.
Bausch & Lomb ReNu Multi-Purpose Solution, Alcon Opti-Free Express Multi-Purpose Disinfecting Solution and AMO Complete brand Multi-Purpose Solution have been selected as the predicate devices for Bausch & Lomb Multi-Purpose Solution NRC03.
#### Description of the Device 4.
Bausch & Lomb Multi-Purpose Solution NRC03 is a sterile isotonic solution containing boric acid, sodium chloride, sodium phosphate, Hydranate® (hydroxyalkylphosphonate), poloxamer 407, polyquaternium-10, poloxamine 1107, purified water and preserved with polyaminopropyl biguanide (0.0001%). The product is indicated for use in the daily cleaning, removing protein deposits, rinsing, chemical (not heat) disinfection and storage of soft (hydrophilic) contact lenses as recommended by your eye care practitioner. The sterile solution is

contained in a plastic bottle with a tamper evident seal and is labeled with a lot number and expiration date.
#### Indications for Use ડ.
Bausch & Lomb Multi-Purpose Solution NRC03 is indicated for use in the daily cleaning, removal of protein deposits, rinsing, chemical (not heat) disinfection and storage of soft (hydrophilic) lenses as recommended by your eye care practitioner.
#### Description of Safety and Substantial Equivalence Q.
A series of preclinical and clinical studies were completed on this product. The following studies have been completed:
#### Toxicology
A series of cytotoxicity and eye irritation studies of the Bausch & Lomb Multi-Purpose Solution NRC03 and lenses cycled in the solution were undertaken. In these studies, there was no evidence of toxicity.
#### Lens Compatibility
Lens compatibility studies were undertaken after cycling lenses in the solution. The results indicated that lenses were compatible with the solution.
#### Microbiology
Disinfection efficacy was evaluated according to the FDA Guidance document as well as modifications to established procedures. The results indicate satisfactory levels of disinfection efficacy.
#### Cleaning Efficacy
The cleaning efficacy of the solution has been evaluated through the determination of the Critical Micelle Concentration. The surfactant concentrations are well above the CMC for the individual surfactants.
The ability of the solution to prevent the deposition of protein has been established by the evaluation of protein present on the lens following solution usage in a no rub with a rinse regimen with a four (4) hour disinfection time. Protein deposition was significantly prevented as measured by Image Analysis.
The efficacy of the product to remove protein deposits measured by chemical analysis was evaluated with protein deposited lenses. The results indicated statistical equivalence between Test and Control.
{2}------------------------------------------------
### Cleanliness Analysis of Clinical Lens Returns
The analysis of lens cleanliness from both Test and Control regimens indicates that these regimens are substantially equivalent when evaluated by Image Analysis.
### Lens Wettability
Lens wettability over time has been assessed by measurement of contact angle and continued presence of wetting agents over time. The results indicated statistical significance for longer wetting ability over the controls.
### Clinical Studies
A 3-month controlled, randomized study designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the Multi-Purpose Solution NRC03 was completed to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of the solution and substantial equivalence to the Control.
### Substantial Equivalence
Bausch & Lomb Multi-Purpose Solution NRC03 is substantially equivalent to Bausch & Lomb ReNu Multi-Purpose Solution, Opti-Free Express Multi-Purpose Disinfecting Solution and Complete brand Multi-Purpose Solution.
