For storage of soft (hydrophilic), and rigid gas permeable (RGP) hard contact lenses during disinfection with buffered 3% hydrogen peroxide contact lens solution.
Device Story
AOCup Lens Case with AODisc is a specialized contact lens storage container used for disinfection. The device consists of a transparent cup, a screw cap assembly, lens baskets, and a platinum-coated neutralization disc. The user places contact lenses into the baskets and fills the cup with 3% hydrogen peroxide solution. The platinum catalyst on the disc neutralizes the hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen gas during the disinfection process. The device is intended for patient self-use at home. The current modification involves a change in the silicone material used for the O-ring gasket within the screw cap assembly to ensure proper sealing.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. The device underwent biocompatibility, physicochemical, and design functionality testing to evaluate the modified silicone gasket material. Results demonstrated that the modified device performs equivalently to the predicate.
Technological Characteristics
The device is a lens case featuring a screw cap with a silicone O-ring gasket, lens baskets, and a platinum-coated neutralization disc. The platinum catalyst facilitates the chemical neutralization of hydrogen peroxide. The device is a passive mechanical system; no electronics or software are involved.
Indications for Use
Indicated for storage of soft (hydrophilic) and rigid gas permeable (RGP) hard contact lenses during disinfection with buffered 3% hydrogen peroxide solution.

Dear Dr. Finke:
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/postmarketingsafety-reporting-combination-products); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) 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.

# IV. Device Description
The AOCup Lens Case with AODisc is equivalent to the predicate device except change to the silicone material of a gasket. The gasket has O-ring form and is included in the screw cap assembly of the lens case.
The device is a specialized lens case consisting of a transparent cup with a connected unit of screw cap, lens holders (baskets) and platinum-coated neutralization disc. The platinum catalyst coating and shape of the plastic disc are designed to effectively neutralize hydrogen peroxide in the lens care system to harmless water and oxygen gas.
The modifications of gasket material does not change any indications for use nor the basic technical principle of the device functions.
#### Indications for Use V.
For storage of soft (hydrophilic), and rigid gas permeable (RGP) hard contact lenses during disinfection with buffered 3% hydrogen peroxide contact lens solution.
### VI. Comparison to Technological Characteristics with the Predicate Device
The silicone material of an o-ring gasket in the screw cap of predicate device AOCup Lens Case cleared in 510k K162597 and K173538 has been changed to a different silicone material. Dimensions and technical function of the gasket are unchanged.
{6}------------------------------------------------
# VII. Performance Data
The AOCup Lens Case with AODisc and the changed gasket was evaluated in biocompatibility, physicochemical and design functionality tests.
## VIII. Conclusions
Successful results of all nonclinical testing supported the substantial equivalence and therefore safety and efficacy of the modified AOCup Lens Case with AODisc to the existing product for its intended use.
