B+L takes precaution of recalling ReNu lots

Bausch+Lomb is voluntarily recalling a number of batches of its ReNu Multi-Purpose Solution and ReNu MultiPlus MPS in Europe.

The company stated that routine testing showed that while these products were safe and effective when used as directed, they were not meeting B+L quality expectations. 'We decided to initiate the quality-related recall after our stability monitoring programme showed that the performance trend of certain lots did not meet our expectations. There is no indication of a safety or efficacy issue and there have been no reported adverse events rather, this recall is being conducted as a precaution.'

It added that the stability monitoring programme was designed to identify potential problems months before they occurred and was part of its drive to provide best-in-class manufacturing and quality processes.
