Recalled Products

A. CATALYS PRECISION LASER SYSTEM - MAIN UNIT

Reason

AMO quality assurance was notified of a complaint that a patient's left eye was treated with a right eye template. The left eye cataract incisions template was selected as a starting basis for patient treatment planning. From there the right eye/ left eye cataract incisions template buttons were toggled which caused right eye cataract incisions template numbers to be auto populated into the left eye template. This is a software anomaly which translates into a potential incorrect treatment at an occurrence rate higher than established in the risk management file.
