Intended Use
Sauflon Multipurpose Solution is indicated for use in the daily cleaning, rinsing, disinfection, removal of proteins, storage and conditioning of soft (hydrophilic) contact lenses including silicone hydrogel lenses, as recommended by the eye care practitioner.
Device Description
Sauflon Multipurpose Solution is a sterile, isotonic solution that contains poloxamer, sodium phosphate buffer, sodium chloride, and disodium edetate; preserved with polyhexanide 0.0001%. Contains no chlorohexidine or thimerosal.
More Information

No
The device is a contact lens solution, and the description and studies focus on its chemical composition, compatibility, toxicology, and microbiology, with no mention of AI or ML.

No
This device is a multipurpose solution for cleaning and disinfecting contact lenses, which are maintenance functions rather than therapeutic interventions for a medical condition.

No

The device is a multipurpose solution for cleaning and disinfecting contact lenses. Its intended use focuses on maintenance and hygiene of lenses, not on diagnosing medical conditions.

No

The device description clearly states it is a sterile, isotonic solution containing various chemical components, indicating it is a physical product (a liquid solution) and 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 the cleaning, rinsing, disinfection, and storage of contact lenses, which are medical devices used on the eye. This is a direct interaction with a medical device and the user, not a diagnostic test performed on a biological sample in vitro (outside the body).
  • Device Description: The description details a sterile solution with chemical components for lens care. It does not describe a test kit, reagent, or instrument designed to analyze biological samples for diagnostic purposes.
  • 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 (biomarkers, pathogens, etc.)
    • Providing information for the diagnosis, monitoring, or prognosis of a disease or condition.

The device is clearly intended for the care and maintenance of contact lenses, which falls under the category of medical devices, but not IVDs.

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

Pre-clinical Testing

  • Silicone Hydrogel lens compatibility: A series of compatibility studies were conducted assessing the Sauflon Multipurpose Solution with currently marketed Silicone Hydrogel lenses. The results of these studies confirm that the Sauflon Multipurpose Solution is compatible with Silicone Hydrogel lenses.
  • Toxicology: Sauflon Multipurpose Solution was shown to be non-toxic in all cytotoxicity, systemic toxicity and ocular irritation testing.
  • Microbiology: A series of microbiological studies were conducted to demonstrate the disinfection efficacy, preservative efficacy and thus safety of the Sauflon Multipurpose Solution. The Sauflon Multipurpose Solution met the requirements of this testing.

Clinical Studies
A clinical trial of circa 250 subjects, using the Sauflon Multipurpose Solution with four different silicone hydrogel contact lens brands and one conventional hydrogel control lens was conducted over a period of two months, with a control group using Ciba Vision Aquify Multi- Purpose Solution. The results of this study showed the safety, acceptability and substantial equivalence of the Sauflon Multipurpose Solution to the predicate device for its intended use.
