Intended Use
SOLO-CARE PLUS Multipurpose Solution is indicated for cleaning, rinsing, chemical (not heat)disinfecting, daily protein removal, and storing of soft (hydrophilic) contact lenses (including silicone hydrogel lenses) as recommended by your eye care practitioner.
Device Description

More Information

No
The device is a contact lens cleaning solution, and the description and performance studies focus on chemical and microbiological efficacy, not data processing or analysis.

No.
The device is a multi-purpose solution for cleaning, rinsing, disinfecting, and storing contact lenses, not for treating any medical condition.

No

The device is a multi-purpose solution for cleaning, disinfecting, and storing contact lenses, not for diagnosing medical conditions.

No

The device description clearly states it is a sterile aqueous solution, indicating it is a chemical product, not software.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for cleaning, rinsing, disinfecting, and storing contact lenses. This is a direct interaction with a medical device (contact lenses) for maintenance and hygiene, not for diagnosing a condition or analyzing a biological sample from the human body.
  • Device Description: The description lists the chemical components of a contact lens solution. These are chemicals used for cleaning and disinfection, not reagents or components designed to detect or measure substances in a biological sample.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The document does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
    • Analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
    • Detecting or measuring specific analytes (proteins, genes, metabolites, etc.)
    • Providing diagnostic information about a patient's health status.
    • Using techniques like immunoassays, PCR, or other analytical methods.

The device is clearly a solution for the care and maintenance of contact lenses, which are themselves medical devices.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

Silicone Hydrogel Lens Compatibility Data:
A study was conducted to verify that Lotrafilcon A (silicone hydrogel) lenses are compatible with SOLO-Care Plus. The study showed there was no significant difference between SOLO-Care™ Plus Multi-Purpose Solution and the saline control solution, with respect to optical and physical changes in the measured properties of the lenses. SOLO-Care Plus 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.

In Vitro Cleaning Efficacy:
This study was conducted to compare the protein cleaning efficacy of SOLO-Care™ Plus Multi-Purpose Solution to currently marketed SOLO-Care Multipurpose Solution. Results of the study showed that SOLO-Care Plus is substantially equivalent to SOLO-Care Multipurpose Solution in terms of daily protein removal. This data was previously submitted and reviewed in original 510(k) submission - K012731.

Cytotoxicity:
A series of cytotoxicity studies were conducted to demonstrate the safety of SOLO-Care Multipurpose Solution. Results of the testing demonstrated that SOLO-Care Multipurpose Solution is non-cytotoxic and is a non-irritant. This data was previously submitted and reviewed in original 510(k) submission - K012731.

Microbiological:
A two series of microbiological studies were conducted to demonstrate the microbial efficacy SOLO-Care Multipurpose Solution. The first series evaluated the product under a rub/rinse regimen, while the second regimen evaluated the performance of the product under a pre-rinse/ no rub regimen. In the studies, both regimen demonstrated that SOLO-Care Multipurpose Solution met the stand-alone criteria with organic load for disinfection. Additionally, the regimen test criteria was also meet for both regimen for SOLO-Care Plus. This data was previously submitted and reviewed in original 510(k) submission - K012731.

Clinical Testing:
A series of clinical studies have been conducted, submitted and reviewed in original 510(k) submission - K012731 to support the substantial equivalency of SOLO-Care Plus.
