Additional information: section d9: device available for evaluation? yes.Section d9: returned to manufacturer on: aug 26, 2022.Section h3: device evaluated by manufacturer¿ yes.Device evaluation: based upon the visual inspection of the returned product, there is no indication that the customer's observation is due to an issue with the healon gv pro product.Therefore, the customer's report is not confirmed by product evaluation.However, additional information in the form of photographs, provided by the customer, confirms material finds in the eye of the patient.The material that was observed in the photographs were not sent for the investigation.However, the customer's narrative is ultimately confirmed.Since the source or origin of the observed material cannot be determined, product deficiency/product malfunction cannot be confirmed.The photograph of the material find in the patient's eye could indicate coring of the rubber perforation membrane during activation of the product.The size and color of the material finds would be commensurate with coring of the rubber membrane.As the material was not returned, then this potential root cause cannot be confirmed.Based upon the possibility that the observed material finds were from coring of the rubber membrane, then the following risk is indicated.The presence of a gray rubber coring particle upon expelling healon solution is a known issue and is addressed in the healon pro family products¿ risk assessment.In-process manufacturing controls and final product controls ensure that healon pro products are clear and free from the type of material finds indicated in this complaint.Based on the information obtained, product deficiency/product malfunction cannot be confirmed.Johnson & johnson surgical vision will continue to monitor this type of complaints per global complaint trending.All pertinent information available to johnson and johnson surgical vision, inc.Has been submitted.
