Event Description
|
The subject was enrolled in a foreign clinical trial and underwent uneventful implantation of the investigational raindrop corneal inlay in the right eye on (b)(6) 2016.The study involved the use of a corneal pocket for implantation of the inlay.Six months postoperatively the patient presented with faint central corneal haze that recurred 9 months postoperatively and again 12 months postop.Immediately prior to explant on (b)(6) 2017, the central corneal haze was graded as faint.The surgeon believes that extended debris in the corneal pocket contributed to the development of haze.The haze did not result in a clinically significant decrease in best corrected distance visual acuity (bcdva).The patient is scheduled for examination 1-month and 3-months post inlay removal.

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.Cuts and particles were observed on the device, but 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 hydrated storage container for transport.The device history record (dhr) review of the manufacturing lot for this device was performed and there were no discrepancies or unusual findings related to the reported issue.Complaint reference number: (b)(4).
