H6-investigation type 4110: lens work order search- no similar complaint event(s) within associated lots were found.Inflammation is identified in the labeling as a known potential adverse event following icl implantation.The icl directions for use (dfu) states under adverse events: as with implantation of other types of intraocular lenses, potential adverse events can include, but are not limited to infection and iritis.The dfu states precautions to physicians (3): the lens must not be exposed to any solution other than normally used intraocular perfusion fluids (e.G., isotonic saline, bss, viscoelastic solutions, etc.).The dfu states a warning: complete removal of viscoelastic from the eye after completion of the surgical procedure is essential.Viscoelastic instruments that may be difficult to aspirate should not be used.The dfu states for preparation: verify that the vial is filled at least 2/3 full with liquid.Thermoshaping trays and vials must be opened in a sterile site.Record the control number on the operative report to maintain traceability.Remove aluminum cap and stopper.Using the foam plunger tip, remove the crystals from the vial.Crystals should not be exposed to dry conditions (air) for more than one minute.Warning: do not allow the crystals to dry out after removing them from the glass bottle.Additional warning: staar surgical 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 or refurbishing, it is highly probable that it would be contaminated, and the contamination could result in infection and/or inflammation.Warning: the intraocular lens should not be implanted if the sterile packaging has been opened or damaged.While improper sterilization and contamination of surgical instruments remains the most common risk factor associated with severe post-op inflammation, ocular viscoelastic, and improper preparation of antibiotics for intracameral injection may also be a contributing factor.Given the onset of reported problem was bilateral, without cultures taken, an exact cause could not be determined as the lens remains implanted.The event could be multifactorial in nature including patient and/or procedure related factors.Claim# (b)(4).

A facility representative reported that two weeks after bilateral implantable collamer lens (icl) implantation into the patient's eye, inflammation observed bilaterally on po week 2.Information regarding concomitant products used intraoperatively was not provided."deposits" (unspecified) were noted on the icl.No further description of the deposits was provided, and diagnostic cultures have not been reported.It was reported that the patient experienced no other reaction and the lens remains implanted.No further information is available at this time.If additional information is received a supplemental medwatch report will be submitted.
