Manufacturer Narrative
|
The explanted inlay was returned to the manufacturer and subjected to visual microscopic inspection and dimensional analysis.The edge thickness and diameter were measured and found to be within specifications.The inlay was received in a dehydrated state with a small portion of the inlay torn-off near the edge and small cuts and particles on the device.These findings are consistent with findings for corneal inlays that have been explanted since surgical instruments are required to remove the device from the eye and place it in a storage container for transport.It should be noted that the device was not properly stored during transport and it was received in a non-hydrated state.(b)(4).
