# §73.3106. 1,4-Bis[4-(2-methacryloxyethyl)phenylamino]anthraquinone copolymers.

- (a) **Identity.** The color additives are the copolymers formed as the reaction product of 1,4-bis[4-(2-methacryloxyethyl)phenylamino]anthraquinone (C.I. Reactive Blue 246) (CAS Reg. No. 121888-69-5) with one or more vinyl and/or acrylic monomers to form the contact lens material.
- (b) **Uses and restrictions.**
  - (1) The substances listed in [paragraph (a)](#a) of this section may be used in amounts not to exceed the minimum reasonably required to accomplish the intended coloring effect.
  - (2) Authorization and compliance with these uses shall not be construed as waiving any of the requirements of sections [510(k)](/cfr/21/510.md?p=k), [515](/cfr/21/515.md), and [520(g)](/cfr/21/520.md?p=g) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the act) with respect to contact lenses made from the color additives.
- (c) **Labeling.** The label of the color additives shall conform to the requirements of [§ 70.25](/cfr/21/70.25.md) of this chapter.
- (d) **Exemption from certification.** Certification of these color additives is not necessary for the protection of the public health and, therefore, the color additives are exempt from the certification requirements of [section 721(c)](/cfr/21/721.md?p=c) of the act.
