Companies usually start a recall weeks before the FDA classifies and publishes it; the gap above is that lag.
Reason for recall
Due to intraocular lens containing an angle out of specification (OOS). The cylinder axis marks do not meet product specifications for the allowable angle between Low Power Meridian (LPM) and toric cylinder axis marks.
Potency and specification recalls happen when a batch tests outside its approved limits for strength, purity or dissolution, which can mean the dose delivered is higher or lower than labelled.
