Reason

AMO is initiating this action due to detection of an inspection equipment malfunction that resulted in a total of 58 distributed lenses not being fully checked prior to release. It has been identified that this malfunction may result in the release of mislabelled intraocular lenses. Use of a mislabelled intraocular lens could lead to potential unexpected postoperative refractive error and may result in a secondary surgical intervention. Intraocular lenses with serial numbers included in the recall letter that have been implanted and resulted in an appropriate post-op refractive outcome are not affected by this action.
