Testing procedure Test organisms, solutions, and log reductions after testing (cfu/ml)
Lens type S aureus
SOLOCare 1
P aeruginosa Complete 2 S marcescens SOLOCare 3
Test HWI 3.0 6.0 (LT) 7.0 (TK)
(n=4) (SD=0.17) (SD=0) (SD=0)
(N=4) (N=4) (N=3)
Control HWI 1.0 2.0 1.0
(n=4) (N=4) (N=4) (N=3)
Test LWN 4.0 6.0 7.0 (TK)
(n=4) (SD=0.44) (SD=0) (SD=0)
(N=4) (N=4) (N=3)
Control LWN 2.0 2.0 1.0
(n=4) (N=4) (N=4) (N=3)
  • Results after 1, 2, and 3 minutes with SOLOCare and Complete.

  • TK = total kill, T = only 10 cfu/ml remaining, LT = <10 cfu/ml.

  • n = number of lenses used in each group, N = number of test runs.

  • HWI = high water content ionic lenses.

  • LWN = low water content non-ionic.
