H6 - type of investigation: 4110 - lens work order search: one similar complaint type events reported for units within the same lot.A review of the device labeling was completed.Intraocular infection, uveitis/iritis are identified in the labeling as known potential adverse events following icl implantation.The dfu states precautions to physicians (10) this product should not be immersed in anything other than commonly used intraocular irrigation fluids or viscoelastic substances.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.Opegan hi was used during the procedure and is a viscous cohesive of purified sodium hyaluronate manufactured by seikagaku.(11) when folding and inserting this product, use the following insertion device.Microstaar injector, microstaar foam tip plunger, icl cartridge.To avoid damaging the product, use forceps with rounded edges and no serrations on the surface.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.The handpiece (which is a reusable instrument) was used.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 event could be multifactorial in nature including patient and/or procedure related factors.Claim# (b)(4).
