| Reason for the Action |
IQ Medical has become aware of a lot-specific problem concerning the TPSG2 RoboMarker G2 Tip. When used as per the instructions for use, excess ink may be deposited on the cornea, which may cause blurred lines and temporary corneal staining.
The imprecise line markings may make it more difficult to achieve accurate Toric IOL alignment with the axis of astigmatism of the patient’s cornea, which may result in imprecise or failure of correction of the patient’s astigmatism. Additionally, corneal staining may trigger severe irritation to the cornea, which could potentially lead to corneal inflammation.
This action has been undertaken prior to notification to the TGA. |
