Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Alcon Research, LLC is recalling 57,352 Alcon Custom Paks surgical procedure packs because they contain Oasis 27Ga Chang Hydrodissection Cannulas that may have particulates, residue, blockages, or bent tips. These surgical packs are used by surgeons during various eye operations, including cataract surgeries. The defect was identified following complaints regarding the sterile cannulas included within these pre-assembled surgical collections. Consumers and healthcare facilities should identify affected packs by the Pak REF and lot numbers distributed worldwide between 2023 and 2024.

Risk

The presence of particulates, residue, or a bent tip on a surgical cannula can lead to serious complications during eye surgery, including infection, inflammation, or physical trauma to delicate ocular tissues. Blockages (occlusions) in the cannula can also cause surgical delays or equipment failure during critical procedures.

What You Should Do

  1. Immediately check your inventory for any Alcon Custom Paks with the Pak REF numbers and lot numbers listed in this recall, such as Pak REF 0515-66 (Lot JZ5201911), 0752-74 (Lot JZ5180248), or 1119-82 (Lot JZ5180968).
  2. Verify the sterile cannulas within these packs for any visible bent tips, particulates, or residue before attempting any surgical use.
  3. Stop using any affected Custom Paks and quarantine them to prevent accidental use in surgical procedures.
  4. Contact your healthcare provider or Alcon Research, LLC at 9965 Buffalo Speedway, Houston, Texas to report affected products and receive further instructions on returning or replacing the units.
  5. For additional information, contact the manufacturer or your local Alcon representative regarding the specifics of the voluntary firm-initiated recall notice sent via letter.
  6. Contact the FDA at 1-888-463-6332 or visit www.fda.gov/medical-devices/medical-device-recalls for further questions regarding consumer safety and medical device standards.
