Additional Manufacturer Narrative
|
|
The explanted inlay was returned to the manufacturer and subjected to visual microscopic inspection and dimensional analysis.The edge thickness and diameter were measured and found to be within specifications.The inlay was received in a dehydrated state with small cuts and particles and some light brown residue observed on the surface.The light residue came off once the inlay was rehydrated.These findings are consistent with findings for corneal inlays that have been explanted since surgical instruments are required to remove the device from the eye and place it in a storage container for transport.It should be noted that the device was not properly stored during transport and it was received in a non-hydrated state.The device history record review of the manufacturing lot was performed and there were no discrepancies or unusual findings related to the reported issue.Decreased visual acuity is listed in the device labeling as a known potential risk.Complaint reference number: (b)(4).

Event or Problem Description
|
|
The patient underwent uneventful implantation of the raindrop corneal inlay in the left eye (b)(6) 2017.The inlay was explanted on (b)(6) 2017 due to decreased best corrected distance visual acuity (bcdva) from 20/20 (preoperatively) to 20/30 prior to explant.Post inlay explantation, bcdva returned to 20/20.The cause of the decreased vision remains unknown.
