Additional Manufacturer Narrative

|
Johnson & johnson surgical vision (jjsv) has voluntarily initiated a voluntary recall because a possibility exists that due to a packaging error, a 20 gauge vitrectomy cutter may be found in a 25 gauge package.Use of a vitrectomy cutter that is a different size than expected could lead to the need to alter the surgical technique, including corneal incision enlargement.Corrective and preventive actions will be implemented as required.All pertinent information available to johnson & johnson surgical vision, inc.Has been submitted.
