It was reported during surgery the doctor injected the healon before intraocular lens (iol) insertion and noticed a small gray particle appear in the patient's operative eye after discharging the healon.The account indicated it is possible that the particle came out of the healon syringe.The gray particle was removed during irrigation/aspiration (i/a) and the surgery was successful.Through follow-up, additional information was received confirming there was no medical intervention and o surgical intervention.Patient outcome post-procedure was reported as stable, no complications.Both the gray particle and the healon are not available for return as both were discarded.No further information is available.

Manufacturer Narrative

Additional information: device evaluation: no product was received, however photos of the suspected product were attached to the complaint file.Analysis of image 1 reveals a small gray particle in the eye.Analysis of image 2 reveals the original packaging confirming the lot number.Foreign material appearing after the discharge of healon is a known issue.Subject matter expert was contacted and the root cause is as follows: as advised in the product dfu, the following may constitute a source of particles/precipitates in the ovd solution.Because of reports of an occasional release of minute rubber particles, presumably formed when the diaphragm is punctured, the physician should be aware of this potential problem.Express a small amount of the ovd from the syringe prior to use and carefully examine the remainder and as it is injected and during use to avoid injecting minute rubber particles which may be released when the syringe diaphragm is punctured.Sodium hyaluronate solution, like healon family ovds may appear cloudy or form precipitates when it is injected.The clinical significance of these reports, if any, is not known since the majority received to date does not indicate any harmful effects on ocular tissues.The physician should be aware of this phenomenon and, should it be observed, remove the cloudy or precipitated material by irrigation and/or aspiration.Based on in vitro laboratory studies, this phenomenon may be related to interactions with concomitantly used ophthalmic medications or detergents which remain in reused cannulas.In vitro studies have also shown incompatibility, resulting in opalescence, between sodium hyaluronate and solutions containing cationic.Conclusion: based on information obtained, product malfunction and product deficiency are confirmed.Foreign material appearing after the discharge of healon is a known issue.Johnson & johnson surgical vision will continue to monitor this type of complaints per global complaint trending.All pertinent information available to johnson & johnson surgical vision, inc.Has been submitted.
