It was reported that the site has identified a bacterial infection affecting their ophthalmology patients.At this time, it is not known whether the infection is related to johnson and johnson lenses, but the hospital has notified all ophthalmology suppliers as a precaution.Through follow up, we learned that a total of five patients were affected by suspected endophthalmitis, specific dates below.All five patients were treated with intravitreal antibiotics, oral and topical antibiotics, and one patient also required topical steroids.As we cannot rule out any products, all suspect products are reported with all interventions provided.At present there are no long-term effects on the patient's vision and no further interventions have been required.Through further follow up, we learned that the suspect products for these complaints are gcb model intraocular lens (iol), laminar flow phaco tips, tubing sets, and dk9000 as they were used on each patient.As the dk9000 is a device the clinic sterilizes themselves, this is listed as a concomitant device and not being reported against.There was no differentiation as to which patient had which specific device and as such, all files will remain coded with topical steroids.(b)(6) 2026: intravitreal antibiotics, oral and topical antibiotics only.(b)(6) 2026: intravitreal antibiotics, oral and topical antibiotics only.(b)(6) 2026: intravitreal antibiotics, oral and topical antibiotics only.(b)(6) 2026: intravitreal antibiotics, steroids and topical antibiotics only.(b)(6) 2026: intravitreal antibiotics, oral and topical antibiotics only.No further information has been provided.This report is for patient implanted with iol serial (b)(6).Separate reports will be submitted for the other patients involved.
