Oxysept Hydrogen Peroxide Disinfecting System 240ml x 3 Plus 72 Tablets

Oxysept Hydrogen Peroxide Disinfecting System 240ml x 3 Plus 72 Tablets

Description:

A disinfecting, neutralizing and storage system for all soft contact lenses including silicone hydrogel lenses.

Oxysept Disinfecting Solution is a sterile 3% hydrogen peroxide solution for lens disinfection. It destroys and prevents the growth of harmful microorganisms on the surface of the lenses.

Oxysept Neutralizing Tablets are a delayed-release neutralizing tablet that is added at the beginning of the disinfection cycle and colours the solution pink to show that the tablet has been added. This tablet allows disinfection to occur before neutralizing the solution all in one easy step.

The Oxysept Cup is a specially designed cup that must be used with this system for proper disinfection, neutralization, and storage.

Oxygen cleaning - peroxide breaks down protein and lipid bonds on lens surface. During the neutralization process, oxygen bubbles are formed enabling debris to be dislodged. Prolonged exposure to 3% hydrogen peroxide ensures powerful disinfection and protection against a broad range of bacteria and microorganisms including Acanthamoeba.

Preservative free.

Ingredients:

Oxysept Disinfecting Solution is a sterile solution that contains micro-filtered hydrogen peroxide 3% (stabilized with sodium stannate and sodium nitrate and buffered with phosphates) and purified water.

Oxysept Neutralizing Tablets are smooth, round, pink to greyish purple tablets that contain catalase, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, and cyanocobalamin (vitamin B12) as colour indicator, with buffering and tableting agents.

Usage Directions:

Peroxide Solution: Follow instruction on the box carefully.

Follow the instructions below each time you remove your contact lenses. Always wash, rinse and dry hands with a lint-free towel before handling contact lenses. Always remove the same lens first to avoid mix-ups.

1. Clean and Rinse Your Lenses

Remove and handle one lens at a time. Gently rub each lens with an appropriate daily cleaner. Rinse thoroughly with sterile saline solution. Place the lens in the appropriate basket of the lens holder attached to the cap and close the basket lid.

2. Disinfect and Neutralize Your Lenses

Fill the Oxysept Cup to the fill line with Oxysept Disinfecting Solution. With dry hands, remove one Oxysept Neutralizing Tablet from the blister card, drop into the solution and immediately place the lens holder containing the lenses into the Oxysept Cup. Tighten the cap.

Gently turn the Oxysept Cup upside down, then right side up 3 consecutive times to wet the upper surfaces of the cup and the inside of the cap. Make sure that the tablet is in the solution. The Oxysept Neutralizing Tablet will colour the solution pink. This is normal and expected. The pink coloration provides an easy visual reminder that you have added your neutralizing tablet. The colour does not indicate that your lenses are neutralized or ready to wear. You must still soak your lenses for a minimum of 6 hours after the addition of the Oxysept Neutralizing Tablet. You will see a few bubbles or some light bubbling. If the tablet immediately begins to bubble vigorously, causing foam to form on the solution surface, the tablet is neutralizing the solution too quickly for disinfection to take place. Discard the solution and tablet, fill the cup with fresh solution, add another tablet and immediately tighten the cap. Allow the lenses to soak for a minimum of 6 hours to overnight.

The delayed-release Oxysept Neutralizing Tablet will allow disinfection to occur before it neutralizes the solution. During the neutralization process, the tablet will begin to bubble vigorously and will completely dissolve. If the solution is not pink, you have not added an Oxysept Neutralizing tablet to the solution.

3. Wear

Before removing lenses from the lens case, turn the lens case upside down, to ensure full neutralization of all residual disinfecting solution in the lens case. Then apply the lenses directly to your eyes. If desired, rinse your lenses with sterile saline solution before lens application. Do not use Oxysept Disinfecting Solution (hydrogen peroxide) to rinse your lenses before wearing.

If you do not intend to wear your lenses immediately after disinfection/neutralization, you may store them in the unopened Oxysept Cup. Disinfect and neutralize with fresh solution once a week and before applying the lenses to your eyes.

To prevent contamination and to help avoid serious eye injury, always empty and rinse cup with sterile rinsing solution and allow to air dry.

Once a week, while you are wearing your lenses, fill the Oxysept Cup with fresh Oxysept Disinfecting Solution (do not add an Oxysept Neutralizing Tablet). Tighten the cap. Turn the cup upside down to allow the solution to cover the inside of the cap and the top part of the cup. Leave the cup in this position until you are ready to remove your lenses from your eyes and disinfect.

Storage:

Store solutions and tablets at room temperature.

Warnings:

Always read the label and follow the directions for use. Incorrect use could be harmful. 

Do not use if you are allergic to any ingredient in Oxysept Disinfecting Solution/Neutralizer.

KEEP Oxysept Disinfecting Solution (HYDROGEN PEROXIDE) OUT OF THE EYES. The red tip is to remind you not to put this product in your eyes. ALWAYS USE AN Oxysept Neutralizing Tablet with Oxysept Disinfecting Solution TO NEUTRALIZE YOUR LENSES BEFORE APPLYING THEM TO YOUR EYES. If Oxysept Disinfecting Solution accidentally meets the eyes, it may cause burning, stinging or redness. Immediately flush your eyes with water and remove the lenses. If burning or irritation continues, seek professional assistance.

Do not crush the Oxysept Neutralizing Tablet. If a crack occurs in the coating, the tablet may begin to neutralize the Oxysept Disinfecting Solution before adequate disinfection occurs.

The Oxysept Cup is specially designed with a shortened lens holder to allow room for the Oxysept Neutralizing Tablet at the bottom of the cup. The cap and left lens basket of the Oxysept Cup are blue for identification of the correct cup. Use only this cup as other lens cases may not allow enough room for the tablet. Replace your Oxysept Cup every six months or more frequently as recommended by your eye care professional.

Keep Oxysept Disinfecting Solution out of the reach of children. If accidentally swallowed, an upset stomach and vomiting may result. Seek immediate professional medical assistance or contact a poison control centre.

PROBLEMS WITH CONTACT LENSES AND LENS CARE PRODUCTS COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY TO THE EYE. It is essential that you follow your eye care professional's directions and all labelling instructions for proper use and care of your lenses and lens care products, including the lens case.

Never reuse solutions.

After reapplying your lenses, always empty the Oxysept Cup, rinse with sterile saline solution, and allow to air dry

Never use Oxysept Disinfecting Solution or Oxysept Neutralizing Tablets in a heat disinfection unit as these products are not designed for use with heat disinfection.
