Boston Original Conditioning Solutions is indicated for wetting, disinfecting and soaking (after cleaning and rinsing) of fluoro silicone acrylate and silicone acrylate gas permeable contact lenses. ## Device Story Device consists of two solutions: Boston Original Cleaner (surfactant solution with alkyl ether sulfate, silica gel, titanium dioxide) and Boston Original Conditioning Solutions (aqueous buffered solution with cellulosic viscosifier, cationic cellulose derivative polymer, polyvinyl alcohol, chlorhexidine gluconate, EDTA). Used by contact lens wearers at home. Cleaner removes debris from lens surface; conditioning solution provides wetting, disinfection, and soaking. Modified regimen replaces tap water rinse with Bausch + Lomb Sensitive Eyes Plus Saline Solution. Benefits include effective lens maintenance and disinfection, reducing risk of ocular complications. Healthcare providers recommend use to ensure lens hygiene and patient comfort. ## Clinical Evidence Bench testing only. Microbiology studies confirmed antimicrobial preservative efficacy per ISO 14730 and regimen performance per ISO 14729:2001/Amd. 1:2010. Lens compatibility verified per ISO 11981. Regimen testing (10-second rub, 5-second rinse) demonstrated effectiveness of the modified saline rinse procedure. No clinical studies were conducted; safety and efficacy are supported by 20 years of commercial history. ## Technological Characteristics Sterile, aqueous-based chemical solutions. Cleaner: surfactant-based (alkyl ether sulfate, silica gel, titanium dioxide). Conditioning solution: buffered, containing cellulosic viscosifier, cationic cellulose derivative polymer, polyvinyl alcohol, chlorhexidine gluconate (0.006%), and EDTA (0.05%). ## Regulatory Identification A rigid gas permeable contact lens care product is a device intended for use in the cleaning, conditioning, rinsing, lubricating/rewetting, or storing of a rigid gas permeable contact lens. This includes all solutions and tablets used together with rigid gas permeable contact lenses. ## Special Controls *Classification.* Class II (Special Controls) Guidance Document: “Guidance for Industry Premarket Notification (510(k)) Guidance Document for Contact Lens Care Products.” ## Predicate Devices - Bausch + Lomb Boston Original Cleaner ([P820069](/device/P820069.md)) - Bausch + Lomb Boston Original Conditioning Solutions ([K980133](/device/K980133.md)) - Bausch + Lomb Sensitive Eyes Plus Saline Solution ([K170483](/device/K170483.md)) ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).

Predicate Device Bausch + Lomb Boston Original Cleaner (P820069) Bausch + Lomb Boston Original Conditioning Solutions (K980133) Bausch + Lomb Sensitive Eyes Plus Saline Solution (K170483) #### 4. Description of the Device Boston Original Cleaner is a sterile, concentrated, homogeneous surfactant solution containing alkyl ether sulfate and silica gel as cleaning agents, titanium dioxide and fragrance. Boston Original Conditioning Solutions is a sterile, aqueous buffered, solution containing a cellulosic viscosifier, cationic cellulose derivative polymer and {4}------------------------------------------------ polyvinyl alcohol as wetting and cushioning agents; preserved with chlorhexidine gluconate (0.006%) and edetate disodium (EDTA) (0.05%). #### 5. Intended Use Boston Original Cleaner is indicated for use to clean silicone acrylate and fluoro silicone acrylate gas permeable contact lenses after each removal and before conditioning (wetting, soaking, disinfecting). Boston Original Conditioning Solutions is indicated for wetting, disinfecting and soaking (after cleaning and rinsing) of fluoro silicone acrylate and silicone acrylate gas permeable contact lenses. #### 6. Description of Safety and Substantial Equivalence A series of preclinical testing was performed to demonstrate the safety and effectiveness of the modified regimen which replaces the water rinse with Bausch + Lomb Sensitive Eyes Plus Saline Solution as described in Premarket Notification (510(k)) Guidance Document for Contact Lens Care Products, May 1, 1997. A brief summary of the test results is provided below: #### Microbiology Studies were previously performed to establish discard dating for both Boston Original Cleaner and Boston Original Conditioning Solutions. The test articles were evaluated initially and again following simulated use for the proposed 90 day discard dates. The results of these evaluations demonstrate that both solutions meet the requirements of ISO 14730, Annex C, Ophthalmic optics - Contact lens care products - Antimicrobial preservative efficacy testing and guidance on determining discard date. Additionally a modified regimen procedure allowing for a rinse with Sensitive Eyes Plus Saline Solution in place of tap water was conducted. The results demonstrate that modified regimen with Sensitive Eyes Plus Saline Solution meets the FDA performance criteria for regimen evaluation as described in the May 1, 1997 Guidance for Industry, Pre-market Notification (510(k)) Guidance Document for Contact Lens Care Products when used in a 10 second rub, 5 second rinse (per lens side) regimen. The products used in this regimen also meet the performance criteria established in ISO Standard 14729: 2001/Amd. 1:2010: (E) for regimen testing. Regimen testing was previously reviewed as part of K170483. #### Biocompatibility Biocompatibility tests were unnecessary for this application. Previous data submitted is still applicable, please reference K980133 for Boston Original Conditioning Solutions, and P820069 for Boston Original Cleaner. #### Lens Compatibility The results of lens compatibility studies per ISO 11981 demonstrate that replacing water with Bausch + Lomb Sensitive Eyes Plus Saline Solution as part of the regimen is compatible with gas permeable contact lenses. {5}------------------------------------------------ #### Clinical Data Clinical studies involving the modified regimen for Boston Original Cleaner and Conditioning Solutions were unnecessary for this application. This Cleaner -Conditioning System has been commercially available in the market for almost 20 years with well demonstrated safety and efficacy. # 7. Substantial Equivalence The cumulative results of laboratory testing sponsored by Bausch + Lomb demonstrate that the safety, effectiveness and performance of the modified regimen for Boston Original Cleaner and Conditioning Solutions to include Bausch + Lomb Sensitive Eyes Plus Saline Solution when used with gas permeable contact lenses are substantially equivalent to the current regimen with a water rinse. --- **Source:** [https://fda.innolitics.com/submissions/OP/subpart-f%E2%80%94therapeutic-devices/MRC/K173089](https://fda.innolitics.com/submissions/OP/subpart-f%E2%80%94therapeutic-devices/MRC/K173089) **Published by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com)** — a medical-device software consultancy.
