#### 6.0 Description of Safety and Substantial Equivalence:
A series of preclinical testing was performed to demonstrate the safety and effectiveness of Bausch + Lomb OCD04 3% Hydrogen Peroxide Cleaning and Disinfecting Solution. A summary of the test results is provided below:
#### 6.6 Biocompatibility
Bausch + Lomb OCD04 3% Hydrogen Peroxide Cleaning and Disinfecting Solution was evaluated for non-clinical safety in accordance with FDA Guidance for Contact Lens Solutions and Accessory Products. May 1997, as well as referencing several recognized testing Standards which were performed under Good Laboratory Practice regulations. Cytotoxicity, ocular irritation, and sensitization studies were completed for Bausch + Lomb OCD04 3% Hydrogen Peroxide Cleaning and Disinfecting Solution. The test results demonstrated that Bausch + Lomb OCD04 3% Hydrogen Peroxide Cleaning and Disinfecting Solution is noncytotoxic, and not an ocular irritant or sensitizing agent.
#### 6.7 Microbiology
of studies were conducted according to EN ISO র্ব series 14729:2001/AMD.1:2010(E) Ophthalmic optics - Contact lens care products - Microbiological requirements and test methods for products and regimens for hygienic management of contact lenses and EN ISO 14730:2000(E) Ophthalmic optics - Contact lens care products -Antimicrobial preservative efficacy testing and guidance on determining discard date. The testing demonstrated Bausch + Lomb OCD04 3% Hydrogen Peroxide Cleaning and Disinfecting Solution meets the criteria for disinfection and preservative efficacy. Additionally, OCDO4 met the requirements of the ISO-FDA Regimen Procedure for Disinfecting Regimens for all nine lens materials tested.
{2}------------------------------------------------
#### 6.8 Lens Compatibility
The results of lens compatibility studies demonstrate Bausch + Lomb OCD04 3% Hydrogen Peroxide Cleaning and Disinfecting Solution is compatible with soft contact lenses including, silicone hydrogel contact lenses and rigid gas permeable lenses.
#### 6.9 Residual Peroxide and Area Under Curve
The results of the study demonstrate that the residual peroxide specification was met on cases cycled for the entire recommended use period, (35 cycles), as well as a safety margin out to 50 cycles. In addition, the area under curve for OCD04 3% Hydrogen Peroxide Cleaning and Disinfecting Solution, a measurement of the total peroxide exposure available to kill microorganisms, was greater than that for the control solution.
#### 6.10 In-Vitro Protein Removal and Cleaning Efficacy
The protein removal ability of Bausch + Lomb OCD04 3% Hydrogen Peroxide Cleaning and Disinfecting Solution and predicate device Ciba Clear Care was evaluated using seven contact lens materials representing FDA groups I and IV and silicone hydrogel materials. The study evaluated the efficacy of the tested products against lenses deposited in vitro with lysozyme and subjected to a single cleaning / disinfection regimen. The results demonstrated that Bausch + Lomb OCD04 3% Hydrogen Peroxide Cleaning and Disinfecting Solution was substantially equivalent to the predicate device, Ciba Clear Care Cleaning and Disinfecting Solution.
In addition, the overall cleaning efficacy of the solution was evaluated through the determination of the critical micelle concentration (CMC). The surfactant concentration in the formulation was determined to exceed the CMC value.
{3}------------------------------------------------
#### 7.0 Clinical Evaluation Summary:
A three-month multicenter, randomized, masked, parallel, bilateral clinical trial was conducted to support the substantial equivalence of Bausch + Lomb OCD04 3% Hydrogen Peroxide Cleaning and Disinfecting Solution when compared to Clear Care solution when used by habitual contact lens wearers to bilaterally clean and disinfect their contact lenses. Subject recruitment was open to currently adapted wearers of both soft and RGP lenses who met all of the inclusion criteria and none of the exclusion criteria.
There were significant differences over all follow-up visits between Bausch + Lomb OCD04 3% Hydrogen Peroxide Cleaning and Disinfecting Solution aroup and the Clear Care group in favor of the Bausch + Lomb OCD04 3% Hydrogen Peroxide Cleaning and Disinfecting Solution group for the following: Comfort upon insertion (p = 0.017), Overall Comfort (p = 0.020), and Comfort at end of day (p = 0.009).
Investigators evaluated the lenses for lens wetting while on the eye and found no significant differences between the B+L Peroxide Solution group and the Clear Care group. Other Investigator measures while lenses were on the eye included lens fitting characteristics (centration and movement). There were no significant differences between the B+L Peroxide Solution group and the Clear Care group for either fitting characteristic.
The safety of Bausch + Lomb OCD04 3% Hydrogen Peroxide Cleaning and Disinfecting Solution used with both a rub, rinse regimen and no-rub reqimen is clinically acceptable and similar to Clear Care.
#### 8.0 Substantial Equivalence Conclusion:
The cumulative results of laboratory, in vitro and in vivo testing sponsored by Bausch + Lomb demonstrate that the safety, efficacy and performance of Bausch + Lomb OCD04 3% Hydrogen Peroxide Cleaning and Disinfecting Solution are substantially equivalent to Ciba Clear Care Cleaning and Disinfecting Solution for soft contact lenses (including silicone hydrogels) as well as rigid gas permeable lenses.

Two short videos show you everything — or skip straight to the written tutorial if you'd rather read. You can reopen this any time from the Tutorial button in the top bar.
Part 1 — Search, results, and everyday workflows 16 min
Part 2 — Embeddings: the galaxy map 3 min
1. Search: exact and fuzzy
Type a phrase like "coronary artery calcification" into the search box. You get two kinds of results. Exact results match the literal phrase — prefix searches work ("coronary artery calcificati") but suffix searches do not. Fuzzy results match on the meaning and intent of your phrase rather than the exact words, and are sorted by relevance score. Hover over the Exact or Fuzzy badge on any row to see exactly why it matched.
Use the checkboxes above the results to narrow: SaMD keeps only software-only devices, AI / ML keeps only devices with AI.
Exact vs. fuzzy search: what's the difference?
Exact matches on the literal phrase (prefix search works, suffix does not). Fuzzy matches on the meaning and intent of the phrase rather than the exact words. Hover over the badge on any row to see why it matched.
You search "coronary artery calcification" and want only software devices with AI. What two filters do you apply?
Narrow by SaMD (software-only devices), then narrow by AI/ML (devices with AI).
2. The results table
Scroll right in the results table. The intended use is extracted for you — no need to open the PDF. The device story gives a high-level snapshot of what the device does and how it's used. The AI Performance sub-table shows each output name, acceptance criteria, observed values, and development/test dataset descriptions — the same format Innolitics uses for regulatory strategy outputs, and the fastest high-level fingerprint of an AI device. It is AI-generated but has been very reliable in practice.
Where do you find a device's intended use without opening the PDF?
Scroll right in the search results table. The intended use column is extracted for you; no need to dig into the 510(k) summary PDF.
What does the AI Performance sub-table show, and why is it useful?
Output name, acceptance criteria, observed values, development dataset description, and test dataset description. It's the same format we use for regulatory strategy output and Fast 510(k) input, and the fastest high-level fingerprint of an AI device. AI-generated but reliable in practice.
3. Judging fuzzy relevance
Fuzzy results trail off in relevance as you scroll. Use three signals to decide how far down to go: the fuzzy badge explanations, the intended use column, and whether your target output (e.g., Cobb angle) still appears in the AI Performance sub-table. Once it stops appearing, you're past the relevant zone. A top hit with a low score (~0.4) and a stretched explanation is a hint the closest predicates are far away — the project may be headed for De Novo. Note the fuzzy search is a pattern match: it doesn't handle negation ("not") well, and hardware devices can appear — filter by SaMD/AI ML to cut them.
How do you judge how far down fuzzy search results to go?
Use the relevancy signals: the fuzzy badge explanations, the intended use column, and whether the target output (e.g., Cobb angle) still appears in the AI Performance sub-table. Once it stops appearing, results are trailing off in relevancy.
4. Device detail page: chat and citations
Click a device name to open its detail page: device facts on the left, a chat window on the right. Ask something like "Describe the training data". The answer carries little citation bubbles — click one to jump to the highlighted passage in the source PDF, so you can verify every AI answer against the document. There's also a Download PDF button for sharing.
How do you verify an AI chat answer on the device detail page?
Click the citation bubbles to jump to the relevant highlight in the source document.
Reading rule for every project: how many summaries do you read in full?
At least the three most relevant 510(k) or De Novo summaries, in full. After that, use targeted chat questions to confirm your memory quickly. The tool supports this professional habit — it doesn't replace it.
5. Side-by-side comparison
Select multiple rows in the results table (aim for under ~10), then open the PDF Viewer tab. Ask one question — it goes to all selected devices in parallel, each with citations. This is the fastest way to compare and contrast devices: training data, PCCP scope, how they handled adding new scanners, and so on.
What does the side-by-side PDF viewer mode do?
Select multiple devices, open the PDF viewer tab, and ask one question (e.g., "Describe the training data"). It queries all selected devices simultaneously with citations, so you can compare and contrast quickly.
6. Collections
With rows selected, go to the Collections tab and create a labeled collection (e.g., "Cobb Angle Project"). Reload that selection any time — before a client call, pull up the collection and ask questions across all of its devices at once.
How do you save a set of selected devices for later use?
Select the rows, go to the Collections tab, and create a labeled collection (e.g., "Cobb Angle Project"). You can reload the selection anytime and carry it into the PDF viewer and other tabs that support selections.
7. Product codes and the regulations tree
Click a product code in the results to jump to it in the regulations tree — identification text, sibling product codes, and devices you can open in a PDF viewer on the right. Click a regulation number to see its identification, special controls, and related product codes. You can also search by product code or regulation number at the top of the tree. Always read the special controls if any exist for your device — it broadens your search and sharpens pre-kickoff research.
What can you do from the regulations tree view?
Browse product codes and regulation numbers, read the identification text and special controls, browse sibling product codes, open device PDFs on the right, and search by product code or regulation number at the top of the tree.
8. Chart view
Click Show Chart and segment by regulation number (or product code) to see which regulations dominate your result set. Clicking a regulation takes you into the regulations tree. Great for spotting that most matches are, say, hardware laparoscopic devices — a cue to go back and filter.
How do you see which regulations dominate a search result set?
Click "Show Chart" and segment by Regulation Number. Clicking a regulation takes you to the regulations tree.
9. The predicate graph
Open the Predicates tab for a family-tree view of predicate relationships. Click a node to trace its parents and children; selections from search carry over pre-selected. Commonly predicated devices are worth reading — a lot of people predicated them for a reason. The visual lineage is also handy on client calls, e.g. to show how a predicate family evolved and justify why your predicate still holds.
In the predicate graph, why are commonly predicated devices worth reading?
A lot of people predicated them for a reason. Clicking a node traces parents and children, and selections from search carry over pre-selected.
10. Embeddings: the galaxy map
The Embeddings tab plots every matching document in a 2-D "galaxy map" where semantically similar devices cluster together. Hover or click clusters to explore, and let AI label the clusters for you. Embeddings beat product codes for grouping: two devices can carry different product codes (LLZ vs. QIH) yet do the same thing — the embedding captures the meaning of the intended use and device story. This is also exactly how retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) works under the hood, and it makes a great visual on client calls.
