Johnson & Johnson Surgical Vision, Inc. has recalled approximately 3,428 units of the Reusable LAMINAR High Flow Irrigation Sleeve and Test Chamber (21 Gauge). This medical device is used during eye surgeries to direct cooling fluid across the phacoemulsification tip and into the eye. A manufacturing defect may result in a missing port hole, which can block the flow of irrigation fluid. This can cause the surgical tip to overheat or lead to an unstable anterior chamber in the eye during surgery. If you are a healthcare provider, please contact the manufacturer for further instructions regarding this voluntary recall.
A missing port hole in the irrigation sleeve prevents sufficient fluid flow to cool the ultrasonic surgical tip, which can lead to overheating and instability in the eye's anterior chamber, potentially causing surgical complications or injury to the eye.
