The stent could not be located and suspected to remain in the patient's eye; therefore, the surgery date was indicated in the implant date field.The device was not available; therefore, product testing on the actual device could not be performed.The device history records were reviewed for this manufacturing lot and there were no non-conformities found to be related to the reported event.A review of the device labeling was completed.Iris damage and malpositioned stent are identified in the labeling as known inherent risks of trabecular micro-bypass stent procedure.The ifu adequately provides instructions for stent implantation, precautions, and warnings for the proper use and handling of the device.Mfr # reference: (b)(4).

Event or Problem Description
|

It was reported that following a right eye cataract procedure, the patient moved during implantation attempt of a trabecular micro bypass stent system.Due to patient movement, the insertion sleeve engaged the iris which resulted in a small iris tear.The surgeon¿s vision was obscured due to intraoperative heme and could not locate the stent.Reportedly, it is possible that the stent was removed during irrigation/aspiration (ia).The stent procedure was aborted.Additional information has been requested.
