- the concerned device "lacrifast" is not distributed in us under this device name, but is identical to the device "lacriflow lacrimal stent" distributed in us under 510(k) # k120886. - the actual device used was returned and investigated:the stainless steel ring mounted in the tip of the colored in blue tube was dismounted and missing. The outer/inner diameters, length, and all other dimensions of both tubes were confirmed within the specifications. - as a possible cause of the penetration of the bougie and dropping off the ring during the use, we speculate as follows: when the doctor tried to insert and advance the tube with the bougie inserted forcibly in the false duct in the occluded lacrimal duct that was made by the pre-probing procedure, excessive mechanical force was loaded on the ring and the distal tip of the tube where the ring was mounted, and further pushing the bougie resulted in dismounting the ring and penetration of the ring with the bougie out of the tube. This report is delayed because it was sent to the emdr test instead of production.

This device (lacrifast) was employed to treat epiphora due to lacrimal duct obstruction of a (b)(6)female patient. The doctor opened the lacrimal duct by using dacryoendoscopy and a sheath, then he inserted one of the lacrimal duct tube (colored in blue) into the lacrimal duct by dsi (direct silicone intubation) technique. The doctor felt that the bougie penetrated out of the tube and retrieved it out of the patient's lacrimal duct. It was found that the stainless steel ring mounted in the tip of the tube was missing. He tried to find the ring inside the patient by using dacryoendoscopy, but he couldn't find it. He found some false duct in the lacrimal duct during a searching the ring by using lacrimal endoscope. He inserted another company's lacrimal stent and finished the operation.
