Issue

Posterior membranectomy as originally approved by Health Canada was with respect to 'dissection of pupillary membranes' and does not include vitreous membranes/ opacities.  Ellex Tango Reflex and Ultra Q Reflex devices were advised by Health Canada as being marketed with the incorrect claim for vitreolysis under the approved indication of posterior membranectomy until the last few months, when Health Canada notified Ellex/Clarion of the incorrect interpretation.
