PHARMACOLOGICAL ACTION The AOSEPT system is a preservative free one-step hydrogen peroxide solution for all clear soft and hard contact lenses. Disinfection and neutralisation takes place in one single step. The component hydrogen peroxide disinfects the lenses. During the care procedure the platinum-coated AODISC decomposes the hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen and the AOSEPT solution is neutralised into a sterile, non-preserved saline solution. INDICATIONS For the disinfection, neutralisation and storing of all clear contact lenses. CONTRA-INDICATIONS Hypersensitivity to any of the ingredients. WARNINGS DO NOT PUT AOSEPT SOLUTION THAT HAS NOT BEEN NEUTRALISED IN THE EYE. Neutralisation of AOSEPT occurs by soaking the lenses for 6 hours in the AOSEPT cup with the AODISC neutraliser. DO NOT USE THE AOSEPT SOLUTION WITH ANY CONTACT LENS CASE OTHER THAN THE AOSEPT CUP & DISC SUPPLIED WITH THE AOSEPT SYSTEM. Should AOSEPT solution that has not been neutralised mistakenly get in your eye, REMOVE YOUR LENS IMMEDIATELY, FLUSH YOUR EYE WITH A LARGE AMOUNT OF STERILE WATER OR STERILE SALINE for a few minutes.
