It was reported that a preloaded multifocal toric intraocular lens (iol) was implanted in a patient who experienced double vision, frost film, haziness, and very blurred vision on postoperative day 8.Despite medical interventions, including tap and injection, the symptoms persisted, leading to the explantation of the device on (b)(6) 2025.No replacement lens was implanted, and the patient was left aphakic, with no plans to implant an additional lens.The patient outcome status was reported as still being seen.No further information provided.

Additional information: additional information has been received, and the following fields have been updated accordingly: section b5: additional information indicates that the patient underwent a successful left-eye surgical intervention consisting of pars plana vitrectomy, anterior chamber washout, lens removal with antibiotic prophylaxis (abx) injection, and 0.1 ml each of vancomycin, ceftazidime, and dexamethasone (listed as vitreous tap and inject x2 and vitrectomy x2 with iol removal).It was noted that 10-0 nylon was used to close the corneal wound, though not intended to prevent injury.There were no capsule tears and no incision enlargement reported.The patient outcome was reported as light perception post-operation.Based on follow-up communications, the customer confirmed endophthalmitis as the issue; however, no observable pattern emerged for this case.On the day of surgery, the patient was the third case, with additional surgeries performed subsequently.There were no other similar incidents on the same surgical date or on other dates.Preoperative dilation included 2% xylocaine jelly containing 0.75% sensorcaine, 10% neosynephrine, 1% mydriacyl, 1% cyclogyl, zymaxid, and acular, with betadine 5% eye drop providing asepsis.The balanced salt solution (bss) used during the procedure was not fortified with antibiotics or epinephrine.No dye was used to highlight the capsule, and no intracameral antibiotics were used.The phaco tip and phaco tubing used were single-use and not re-used.The patient outcome at this time was reported as poor, with little vision and potential for severe damage; recovery was uncertain, awaiting healing to determine whether further surgery would help.Other treatments included eye drops and intraocular antibiotics and steroids.No subconjunctival or systemic treatments were required.The result of the culture or pcr (polymerase chain reaction) was negative and no microorganism identified.Vancomycin 0.1 ml, ceftazidime 0.1 ml, and dexamethasone 0.1 ml were provided as standard of care.The account indicated that the cause of the endophthalmitis is unknown.There is a written protocol specifying time, duration, detergents, enzymatics, water type (tap vs sterile), and rinsing for cleaning reusable equipment.The customer stated that none of the reusable equipment is cleansed with enzymatic detergents, and there is no additional information available regarding the cleaning protocol.It was also stated that some reusable equipment is cleansed or rinsed in an ultrasonic bath, but phaco handpieces are not.Sterile water purchased is used for the final rinse of the reusable equipment.The sterilization method used for the reusable equipment is steam sterilization.For autoclave sterilization, regular inspection and cleaning are documented, there are no recent operational problems, and steam is produced only for the autoclave, not by the facility-wide boiler.The patient returned to florida, where he lives, for follow-up.Section a5: ethnicity: not hispanic/latino.Section a6: race: white.Section d10: concomitant medical products: alcon bss & duovisc.Section d9: device available for evaluation: yes.Section d9: date returned to manufacturer: oct 29, 2025.Section h3: device evaluated by manufacturer: yes.Device evaluation: visual inspection under magnification was performed on the suspect product and found the lens was coated in viscoelastic residue and what appeared to be blood.The lens was cleaned revealing that the lens was partially cut and scratched as expected from the explant maneuvers.No further evaluation was performed.No issues were identified during product evaluation that could have caused or contributed to the reported complaint.The observations could not be confirmed as related to manufacturing or design processes.Conclusion: base on the investigation, no malfunction or product deficiency was identified.Additional codes added: section h6: health effect - impact code: 4625 - additional surgery (unplanned sutures & vitrectomy).Section h6: health effect - impact code 4641 - unexpected medical intervention (antibiotics).Section h6: health effect - clinical code: 1835 - endophthalmitis.Corrected data: upon review, it was noticed that an incorrect physician name, phone number and email were inadvertently entered in the section "e1" of the initial mdr report, and the rational for codes 2199 and 4581 was omitted in the section "h11" of the initial mdr report.It was also noted that the best-estimate date for b3 recorded in the initial mdr report should be updated, since the issue was first observed on postoperative day 8.This supplemental mdr report incorporates these corrections, and the corresponding fields have been updated accordingly.: section b3: date of event: unknown, not provided, but the best estimate date is on postoperative day 8.Section e1: initial reporter's/doctor's first & last name: dr.(b)(6).Section e1: initial reporter's/doctor's phone number: (b)(6).Section e1: initial reporter's/doctor's email: (b)(6).Section h6 - health effect - impact code: 2199 - this code is used to capture incomplete treatment.Section h6 - health effect - clinical code 4581 - this code is used to capture incomplete treatment.All pertinent information available to johnson & johnson surgical vision, inc.Has been submitted.
