Additional Manufacturer Narrative
|
|
A4-a6: unk.H6 - type of investigation: 4110 - lens work order search: no similar complaint type events reported for units within the same lot.Manufacture narrative: a review of the device labeling was completed.Severe intraocular inflammation is identified in the labeling as a known potential adverse event following icl implantation.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.).An inflammatory response is common after intraocular surgery; however, this is usually mild and does not require any additional interventions beyond the standard post-op regimen.In some cases, the degree of inflammation may be more severe.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 severe post-op inflammation, ocular viscoelastic, and improper preparation of antibiotics for intracameral injection may also be a contributing factor.It should be noted multiple cases of similar clinical presentation were reported from the same facility under the same surgeon.An exact cause could not be determined as the issue resolved and the lens remains implanted.The event could be multifactorial in nature including patient and/or procedure related factors.Claim #(b)(4).
