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.A small portion near the inlay edge was torn off and some particles were present on the surface, 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 review of the manufacturing lot was performed and there were no discrepancies or unusual findings related to the reported issue.Corneal haze is listed in the device labeling as a known potential risk.Complaint reference #: (b)(4).

Event Description

Patient follow-up was requested from the surgeon, who provided the following additional information.There were no complications during surgery to implant the inlay, and the patient had no pre-existing conditions.Six weeks postoperatively the patient presented with grade 2+ corneal haze on the edge of the inlay.The corneal haze was associated with a decrease in best corrected distance visual acuity (bcdva) from 20/20 (preoperatively) to 20/40 (at first onset), improving to 20/25 immediately prior to inlay explantation.Post inlay explant, the corneal haze has resolved with 20/25 bcdva.
