Reason

Alcon received complaints for the Infiniti Ultrasound Paks related to occlusion of the aspiration line. The quality review processes showed an equipment misalignment which may have potentially detached a piece of the aspiration tubing and inserted it into the aspiration line of the Infiniti Ultrasound Paks. This recall is being conducting due to the fact that the possibility exists for a loss of aspiration performance during surgery which may pose a safety risk to patients.
