Device Story

System comprises Aerotab disinfecting tablet, Aerosolv unpreserved buffered saline, and barrel lens case. Tablet contains halazone (active ingredient) with effervescent base (adipic acid, anhydrous sodium carbonate). User dissolves tablet in saline within barrel case to create disinfecting/storage solution. Used by contact lens wearers for daily chemical disinfection and storage. Output is disinfected lens ready for insertion. Benefits include effective microbial control without preservatives. System is non-sterile; compatible with clear soft lenses.

Clinical Evidence

6-month clinical trial with 334 subjects (276 test, 58 control). Compared Aerotab system to commercial peroxide system. Results: No adverse reactions; 90% of eye exams showed no positive slit lamp findings (vs 67% for peroxide); 95% of test eyes achieved visual acuity within 2 Snellen lines. Lens cleanliness rated 93% clinically clean. No significant gender differences. Study confirms safety and efficacy.

Technological Characteristics

Tablet: Halazone, adipic acid, anhydrous sodium carbonate. Saline: Sterile, isotonic sodium chloride, boric acid, sodium borate. Lens case: Plastics for Ophthalmic Products (USP XXIII). Disinfection principle: Chemical (halazone). Form factor: Tablet, solution, barrel case. Non-sterile tablet, preservative-free.

Indications for Use

Indicated for chemical disinfection and storage of clear (untinted) soft (hydrophilic) contact lenses in patients requiring lens care. Contraindicated for use with heat or hydrogen peroxide systems.

#### V. CLINICAL STUDIES

A. AEROTAB Disinfecting Tablet

A 6 month clinical trial of 334 subjects (276 test, 58 control) compared the safety and efficacy of the Sauflon AEROTAB Disinfecting Tablet when used with commercially available saline, daily cleaners and wetting solutions to that of a commercial peroxide disinfecting system.

There were no adverse reactions with the Sauflon AEROTAB Disinfecting System, and there were no positive slit lamp findings at 90% of the eye examinations, compared to 67% with no findings with peroxide. No symptoms were reported at 81% of visits, compared to 85% in the peroxide controls, a difference considered not significantly different. The most common symptoms were lens awareness and discomfort in both test and control groups. Appropriate visual acuity (within 2 Snellen lines of original best corrected acuity) was obtained by 95% of the test eyes and all of the control eyes. Wear time was not affected by the care regimen. Evaluation of lens cleanliness showed 93% of test lenses and 94% of control lenses were clinically clean at scheduled visits. There were no significant gender differences in the findings.
