Recall Z-0680-2020— Carl Zeiss Meditec, Inc.

Class II FDA medical device recall by Carl Zeiss Meditec, Inc., initiated 2018-12-06, terminated 2021-02-02. FDA's recall record names no specific 510(k) clearance for this event. Product: VisuMax Software Version 2.10.13 with activated Software-Module ReLEx (SMILE) option used in conjunction with the VisuMax Femtosecond Laser System for Refractive Correction. Catalog Number 0000000-1345-518 Product Usage: The VisuMax Femtosecond Laser is a precision ophthalmic surgical laser designed for the creation of incisions in the cornea. The VisuMax Femtosecond Laser is indicated for use in small incision lenticule extraction (SMILE) for the reduction or elimination of myopia. This device is intended for use in small incision lenticule extraction (SMILE) for the reduction or elimination of myopia >=-1.00 D to <=-8.00 D, with <=-0.50 D cylinder and MRSE <=-8.25 D in the eye to be treated in patients who are 22 years of age or older with documentation of stable manifest refraction over the past year as demonstrated by a change of <=0.50 D MRSE.. Reason: VisuMax devices with software version 2.10.13 and activated SW-Module ReLEx (SMILE) option may experience a software issue. In case of a suction loss during treatment the software allows the user to choose the option immediate restart or restart treatment. Suction loss can occur in phase 1 through phase 5. The software defect refers to Phase 2 (between 10% and 100% of lower lenticule cut) only. The software offers a flap cut, but due to the software issue it performs a cap cut instead of a flap cut if the user proceeds..
