The product insert / directions for use (dfu) states perfluoron must be completely removed from the eye and replaced with an appropriate vitreous substitute. Also the literature provides precautions to avoid inadvertent placement of perfluoron behind the retina during injection, the final fill level in the eye should always remain posterior to any large retinal breaks. Additionally, the literature states if perfluoron is introduced into a large retinal break, it may slip into the subretinal space. Special care should be taken to examine for and remove any subretinal perfluoron through an existing posterior tear or through a posterior retinotomy prior to completion of surgery. No lot code was provided and no sample was returned so no further investigation could be performed at this time.
