Intended Use
Menicon 3% Hydrogen Peroxide Cleaning & Disinfecting Solution is indicated for use in cleaning, daily protein removal, disinfection, and storing of soft (hydrophilic) contact lenses (including silicone hydrogel lenses) and rigid gas permeable (fluoro silicone acrylate and silicone acrylate) contact lenses, as recommended by your eye care professional.
Device Story
System comprises 3% hydrogen peroxide solution and specialized lens case with neutralizer catalyst disk. User places lenses in holder; adds solution to cup; catalyst disk neutralizes peroxide over 6-hour minimum period. Used by contact lens wearers for daily cleaning, protein removal, and disinfection. Preservative-free aqueous solution contains hydrogen peroxide, phosphonic acid stabilizer, citric acid, PEG, sodium chloride, sodium hydroxide, and phosphate buffer. System must be used together to ensure safe neutralization of peroxide before lens re-insertion. Benefits include effective antimicrobial activity and removal of lens deposits, maintaining lens hygiene and patient comfort.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data. Evidence based on non-clinical bench testing: lens compatibility (6 hydrogel/silicone hydrogel and 2 RGP lens types), neutralization profile (residual peroxide levels), disinfecting/preservative efficacy (ISO level reduction at 6/24 hours and 7 days), cleaning efficacy (protein/lipid removal), and biocompatibility (GLP-compliant in-vitro/in-vivo testing).
Technological Characteristics
Aqueous solution: 3% hydrogen peroxide, phosphonic acid, citric acid, PEG, NaCl, NaOH, phosphate buffer. Lens case: transparent cup with lens holder/cap assembly containing neutralizer catalyst disk. Disinfection principle: oxidative disinfection followed by catalytic neutralization. Minimum disinfection time: 6 hours. Preservative-free.
Indications for Use
Indicated for cleaning, daily protein removal, disinfection, and storage of soft (hydrophilic) contact lenses (including silicone hydrogel) and rigid gas permeable (fluoro silicone acrylate and silicone acrylate) contact lenses.

Dear Dr. Li Haosheng:
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database located at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
{1}------------------------------------------------
Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801): medical device reporting (reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803) for devices or postmarketing safety reporting (21 CFR 4, Subpart B) for combination products (see https://www.fda.gov/combination-products/guidance-regulatory-information/postmarketing-safetyreporting-combination-products); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (OS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820) for devices or current good manufacturing practices (21 CFR 4, Subpart A) for combination products; and, if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.
Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21 CFR Part 807.97). For questions regarding the reporting of adverse events under the MDR regulation (21 CFR Part 803), please go to https://www.fda.gov/medical-devices/medical-device-safety/medical-devicereporting-mdr-how-report-medical-device-problems.

### 5. Indications for Use
Menicon 3% Hydrogen Peroxide Cleaning & Disinfecting Solution is indicated for use in cleaning, daily protein removal, disinfection, and storing of soft (hydrophilic) contact lenses (including silicone hydrogel lenses) and rigid gas permeable (fluoro silicone acrylate and silicone acrylate) contact lenses, as recommended by your eve care professional.
### 6. Performance Data
### Non-Clinical Data
A series of preclinical tests were performed to demonstrate the substantial equivalence of the Menicon 3% Hydrogen Peroxide Cleaning & Disinfecting Solution to the predicate devices. All tests were conducted in accordance with the Premarket Notification 510(k) Guidance Document for Contact Lens Care Products (1997) or according to valid scientific protocols.
#### . Lens Compatibility
Compatibility testing was conducted with six commercially available hydrogel and silicone hydrogel soft contact lenses: Acuvue2 (etafilcon A), Acuvue Oasys (senofilcon A), Biofinity (comfilcon A), Air Optix Aqua (lotrafilcon B), Definitive74 (efrofilcon A) and PureVision2 (balafilcon A), and 2 commercially available RGP lenses: Menicon Z (tisilfocon A) and Boston IV (itafocon B). Results demonstrated that the Menicon 3% Hydrogen Peroxide Cleaning & Disinfecting Solution was compatible with the test contact lenses.
{5}------------------------------------------------
#### . Neutralization Profile
Tests were conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of the neutralization lens case of the Menicon 3% Hydrogen Peroxide Cleaning & Disinfecting Solution in terms of residual hydrogen peroxide level. The Menicon 3% Hydrogen Peroxide Cleaning & Disinfecting Solution showed a similar neutralization profile to the predicate device. In addition, stability of the neutralizer catalyst disk was confirmed for 90-cycles treatments.
#### . Disinfecting and Preservative Efficacy
Disinfecting efficacy test was conducted to evaluate the antimicrobial activity of the Menicon 3% Hydrogen Peroxide Cleaning & Disinfecting Solution as a contact lens disinfection product. Results demonstrated that harmful microorganisms were effectively reduced to an ISO level at 6 and 24 hours and 7 days after neutralization. In addition, Preservative Efficacy test was conducted to ensure 3-month open bottle discard date of the Menicon 3% Hydrogen Peroxide Cleaning & Disinfecting Solution.
#### ● Cleaning Efficacy
Studies were conducted in an in-vitro system to quantify the ability of the Menicon 3% Hydrogen Peroxide Cleaning & Disinfecting Solution to remove proteins and lipids from commercially available hydrogel and silicone hydrogel soft contact lenses and RGP lenses, and to compare its performance to the predicate device. Results suggested that both solutions performed similarly in the removal of lens deposition.
#### ● Toxicology
A series of in-vitro and in-vivo biocompatibility tests were conducted in accordance with the GLP regulation (21 CFR Part 58) to ensure the safety of the Menicon 3% Hydrogen Peroxide Cleaning & Disinfecting Solution. Results demonstrated that the neutralized solution, the lens case materials and the neutralizer catalyst were non-toxic and nonirritating under the experimental conditions.
### Clinical Data
Clinical studies were unnecessary for this application.
### Conclusion
Based upon the data presented, the Menicon 3% Hydrogen Peroxide Cleaning & Disinfecting Solution is as safe, as effective and performs as well as the predicate devices.
