Reason for recall

Faulty seals on the outer pouch of various, double-pouched, single-use, sterile, ophthalmic devices could result in seal failure.

A sterility recall means a product that must be sterile, such as an injection or eye drop, may be contaminated. Using a non-sterile product can cause serious infection.
