Additional Manufacturer Narrative

We have received additional information from the reporting facility indicating that the original description of the event was not accurate.The cutter was indeed cutting but was not adequately aspirating despite attempted aspiration external to the patient's eye.As a result of this additional information, it has been determined that the issue documented in this report does not meet the criteria of a reportable malfunction and the complaint record will be revised accordingly.
