  • Notas adicionales en la data
    Research by Bausch & Lomb indicates a correlation between color, iron content and the biocidal efficacy of the product. The data demonstrate that the product with a high iron content, which has not changed color, is still effective as a biocide, and it is only because the iron interacts with the PHMB (polyaminopropyl biguanide) that, over time, the color changes and exists the possibility of efficacy being reduced. In a contaminated environment, microorganisms potentially present in the lens after rinsing may not be effectively reduced by the use of a solution whose disinfecting efficacy is compromised.
  • Causa
    The renu plus product units, batches # gc 6030 and gc 6063, contain a larger amount of the iron element than provided in the final product. this may result in a change in the color of the solution in some vials and the expiration date of the product may change for less than two years - that is the regular validity of the product, due to the possibility of reducing its effectiveness over time.
  • Acción
    Bausch & Lomb advises that all distributors that have units of the products identified by batches GC 6030 and GC 6063 segregate and forward them immediately to the company unit in the city of Porto Alegre - RS. AB & L is carrying out, as a preventive action, the collection of these lots in the distributors and points of sale thus avoiding the commercialization of products still in stock.
