A review of the device labeling was completed.Iritis is identified in the labeling as a known adverse event after icl implantation.The dfu states potential adverse events can include iritis (iridocyclitis) and may require secondary intervention.The dfu provides the surgeon instruction for complete ovd removal.Precaution: (6) after inserting this product, aspirate the viscoelastic substance completely from inside the eye.Do not use highly viscous viscoelastic substances that are difficult to aspirate completely.Toxic anterior segment syndrome (tass) is an acute sterile postoperative inflammation that can occur after uncomplicated or complicated intraocular surgery.While improper sterilization and contamination of surgical instruments remains the most common risk factor associated with tass, ocular viscoelastic, and improper preparation of antibiotics for intracameral injection may also lead to tass.Even though the causality was attributed to the device an exact cause could not be determined as the event could be multifactorial in nature including patient and/or procedure related factors.H6-investigation type 4110: lens work order search- no similar complaint event(s) within associated lots were found.Claim#: (b)(4).
