The National Authority of Medicines and Health Products (Infarmed) announced on Friday that the manufacturer DISOP, S.A. will initiate the recall of “several batches of the 3% Peroxide System for Contact Lens Disinfection”.
“The manufacturer DISOP, S.A. is carrying out the recall of several batches of the 3% Peroxide System for Contact Lens Disinfection (conventional, disposable, silicone hydrogel, and RGP) after receiving complaints from users reporting symptoms such as burning, redness, itching, inflammation, hyperemia, blurred vision, and pain due to its use,” reads the informative circular shared.
Infarmed further notes that “during the investigation, it was found that in some cases, the neutralizing tablets included in the system did not function properly, which could result in incomplete neutralization of the disinfectant solution leading to ocular discomfort accompanied by the mentioned symptoms.”
It emphasizes: “No serious incidents with eye injuries have been recorded.”
Similarly, the manufacturer DISOP, S.A. has issued an “Important Product Safety Notice,” alerting the “users of the affected batches/brands” to “immediately stop using, retain the used packaging,” and they should “contact the establishment where the product was purchased for its return.”
