Intended Use
For use in the daily cleaning, removing protein deposits, rinsing, chemical (not heat) disinfection and storage of soft (hydrophilic) contact lenses (including silicone hydrogel lenses) as recommended by your eye care practitioner. OPTI-FREE® EXPRESS® Multi-Purpose Disinfecting Solution can also be used as a diluent for OPTI-FREE® SUPRACLENS® Daily Protein Remover.
Device Story
OPTI-FREE EXPRESS is a sterile, buffered, isotonic, aqueous multi-purpose disinfecting solution for soft contact lenses. It contains sodium citrate, sodium chloride, boric acid, sorbitol, AMP-95, TETRONIC 1304, edetate disodium, POLYQUAD (polyquaternium-1), and ALDOX (myristamidopropyl dimethylamine). The device is used by patients for daily lens care, including cleaning, rinsing, and chemical disinfection. The modified regimen involves a 5-second rinse per lens surface and a 6-hour soak, eliminating the need for a rubbing step or final rinse. The solution removes protein deposits and provides antimicrobial activity. It also serves as a diluent for OPTI-FREE SUPRACLENS Daily Protein Remover. The solution benefits patients by simplifying the lens care regimen while maintaining effective disinfection and protein removal, as confirmed by ISO 14729 regimen testing and clinical studies.
Clinical Evidence
30-day, randomized, concurrently controlled, observer-masked, patient-masked, parallel group, multi-site study. Compared OPTI-FREE EXPRESS (modified regimen) to Bausch & Lomb ReNu Multi-Plus. Primary endpoint: safety and efficacy of the rinse/soak regimen. Results showed significantly less residual lysozyme on Group IV lenses for the OPTI-FREE EXPRESS group compared to the ReNu Multi-Plus group at Day 30. Microbiology studies confirmed the modified regimen (5-second rinse, 6-hour soak, no rub) met ISO 14729:2001 and FDA 510(k) performance criteria.
Technological Characteristics
Sterile, buffered, isotonic, aqueous solution. Ingredients: sodium citrate, sodium chloride, boric acid, sorbitol, AMP-95, TETRONIC 1304, edetate disodium 0.05%, POLYQUAD (polyquaternium-1) 0.001%, and ALDOX (myristamidopropyl dimethylamine) 0.0005%. Chemical disinfection principle. No mechanical or electronic components.
Indications for Use
Indicated for daily cleaning, protein removal, rinsing, chemical disinfection, and storage of soft (hydrophilic) contact lenses, including silicone hydrogel lenses, as recommended by an eye care practitioner.
Regulatory Classification

| Common Name: | Contact Lens Care Multi-Purpose Disinfecting Solution |
|-------------------|---------------------------------------------------------|
| Proprietary Name: | OPTI-FREE® EXPRESS® Multi-Purpose Disinfecting Solution |
## Indications for Use:
For use in the daily cleaning, removing protein deposits, rinsing, chemical (not heat) disinfection and storage of soft (hydrophilic) contact lenses (including silicone hydrogel lenses) as recommended by your eye care practitioner.
OPTI-FREE EXPRESS Multi-Purpose Disinfecting Solution can also be used as a diluent for OPTI-FREE® SUPRACLENS® Daily Protein Remover.
{1}------------------------------------------------
### Description:
OPTI-FREE EXPRESS Multi-Purpose Disinfecting Solution is a sterile, buffered, isotonic, aqueous solution containing sodium citrate, sodium chloride, boric acid, sorbitol, AMP-95, TETRONIC® 1304, with edetate disodium 0.05%, POLYQUAD® (polyquaternium-1) 0.001% and ALDOX™ (myristamidopropyl dimethylamine) 0.0005% as preservatives.
### Substantial Equivalence:
OPTI-FREE EXPRESS Multi-Purpose Disinfecting Solution is substantially equivalent, in terms of its actions and indications for use, to OPTI-FREE EXPRESS Multi-Purpose Disinfecting Solution, cleared for marketing under 510(k) K973332 (originally submitted as P830034/S32), K974624, K983780, K001214 (no rub directions for use for lenses replaced within 30 days or less) and K002589 (no rub directions for all lenses). OPTI-FREE EXPRESS Multi-Purpose Disinfecting Solution meets the guidelines set forth in FDA's May 1, 1997 Guidance for Industry; Premarket Notification 510(k) Guidance Document for Contact Lens Care Products.
#### Safety and Effectiveness:
#### Cleaning Studies
A study demonstrated the ability of the product to clean lenses during soaking. The study was done to demonstrate the contribution of the rinse vs. soaking steps to the levels of lysozyme. Elimination of the post-disinfection rinse showed minimal effect on the total amount of lysozyme removed on group IV lenses. This study demonstrates the superiority of OPTI-FREE EXPRESS Multi-Purpose Disinfecting Solution over Bausch & Lomb's ReNu Multi-Plus® Multi-Purpose Solution in removing protein from lenses.
{2}------------------------------------------------
#### Microbiology Studies
A study was conducted to evaluate the performance of OPTI-FREE EXPRESS Multi-Purpose Disinfecting Solution in a regimen consisting of a 5 second rinse of lenses per side and soaking the lenses for 6 hours. No rubbing step or final rinse step was used. The results show that OPTI-FREE EXPRESS Multi-Purpose Disinfecting Solution evaluated by the test regimen (i.e., lenses rinsed for 5 seconds per lens surface and soaking for 6 hours) meets the FDA guidelines and the ISO 14729:2001 Regimen Test Requirements.
#### Stand Alone Test:
The antimicrobial activity of OPTI-FREE Express FID 90746 was previously evaluated by the ISO 14729 (FDA 510[k]) Stand Alone Test procedure for disinfection of contact lenses (K001214). The results showed that OPTI-FREE Express FID 90746 (no soil) met the primary criteria of the Stand Alone Test. The results also showed that organic soil has no deleterious effect on the antimicrobial activity of OPTI-FREE Express FID 90746 (K001214).
#### Regimen Test:
Previously, No Rub™ OPTI-FREE Express® was tested and passed the ISO 14729 (FDA 510 [k]) Regimen Test using the approved labeling (i.e., five second rinse per lens surface, six hour soak, and five second rinse per lens surface [no rubbing step]) (K001214). In a new study, OPTI-FREE Express FID 90746 was tested by the Regimen Test using a similar regimen, but with less rinsing of the lens ( five second rinse per lens surface and six hour soak [no rubbing and no final rinse steps]).
{3}------------------------------------------------
The OPTI-FREE Express FID 90746 Investigational Regimen met the criteria of the ISO 14729 (FDA 510[k]) Regimen Test.
It was concluded that the OPTI-FREE Express FID 90746 Investigational Regimen provides effective disinfection of contact lenses based on ISO 14729 and the FDA 510(k) performance criteria for contact lens disinfectants.
### Clinical Study
A 30-day, randomized concurrently controlled, observer-masked (investigator and chemical analyst) and patient-masked, parallel group, multi-site study was conducted to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of OPTI-FREE EXPRESS Multi-Purpose Disinfecting Solution. OPTI-FREE EXPRESS Multi-Purpose Disinfecting Solution was used with the modified directions for use. The control used in the study was Bausch & Lomb ReNu Multi-Plus® Multi-Purpose Solution.
This study demonstrated the safety and efficacy of OPTI-FREE EXPRESS Multi-Purpose Disinfecting Solution with a rinse/soak regimen.
Significantly less residual lysozyme was found on Group IV lenses from subjects in the OPTI-FREE EXPRESS Multi-Purpose Disinfecting Solution regimen compared to lenses from subjects in the ReNu Multi-Plus® Multi-Purpose Solution group on Day 30.
### Biocompatibility Testing
OPTI-FREE EXPRESS Multi-Purpose Disinfecting Solution meets the guidelines set forth in FDA's May 1, 1997 Guidance for Industry; Premarket Notification 510(k) Guidance Document for Contact Lens Care Products.
{4}------------------------------------------------
OPTI-FREE EXPRESS Multi-Purpose Disinfecting Solution remains unchanged from the previously approved product (P830034/S32, K973332) except for the labeling change revising the directions for use. The labeling changes require no new biocompatibility testing.
