A review of the device labeling was completed.Uveitis is identified in the labeling as a known adverse event following icl implantation.The dfu adequately provides instructions for icl implantation and includes a precaution: the lens should not be exposed to any solutions other than the normally used intraocular irrigating solutions (e.G.Isotonic saline, bss, viscoelastic, etc.).The dfu provides a caution: staar surgical evo/evo+icl and disposable accessories are packaged and sterilized for single use only.Cleaning, refurbishing, and/or resterilization are not applicable to these devices.If one of these devices were reused after cleaning, refurbishing, it is highly probable that it would be contaminated and the contamination could result in infection and/or inflammation.An exact cause could not be determined as the event could be multifactorial in nature including patient and/or procedure related factors, given the information that patient had pre-existing history of asthma and covid infection.Claim#: (b)(4).

Originally this claim was determined to be reportable, but upon further review it was determined to not meet the definition of a complaint.New information indicated that there was no complaint against the implantable collamer lens.However, the claim cannot be voided as an mdr has already been submitted.The reported requested to cancel the claim, as there was no issue with the lens/eye.Claim# (b)(4).
