This complaint is part of the recall - report number 2020664-12/02/19-001-r: johnson & johnson surgical vision (jjsv) issued a voluntary recall on november 22, 2019. It has been reported customers have described healon gv pro as behaving differently than the legacy healon gv, especially in regard to the techniques required to remove the product from the eye. An increase of intra-ocular pressure (iop) is reported if there are small amounts of healon gv pro remaining behind the operative eye. This voluntary recall is being initiated due to received reports of healon gv pro being difficult to remove from the eye, leading to increased post-operative iop requiring additional intervention. Potential clogging of phacoemulsification equipment tubing has also been reported, which may lead to delay in the procedure or ocular injury. There are twenty-one affected lot numbers. The recall notification letter has been sent to all customers instructing them to return the units of healon gv pro from the twenty-one (21) affected lots. Johnson & johnson surgical vision has initiated a corrective and preventative actions (capa) to investigate and address the issue. Action items generated from the capa will be submitted in the future interim report(s) as part of the recall process. All pertinent information available to johnson and johnson surgical vision, inc. Has been submitted.

The surgery center reported of a corneal burn event. The nuclear material was removed with the whitestar system, that a small corneal burn was noted during early grooving at the main incision. It was indicated that the phaco power was very low and that the cataract was not a difficult cataract; however, the customer had difficulties using the healon gv pro and the phaco handpiece would get clogged. It was noted that at the end of that day, during cleaning of the handpiece/tip there were dried residual healon on top of the handpice tip. Reportedly, there was no corneal burn at the day one (1), the eye was clear and the patient outcome was reported to be good. There was no loss of best-corrected visual acuity (bcva) and no increase in the intraocular pressure (iop). The account noted that the healon gv pro product which was on the listed recall list was used for this surgery. No further information was provided.
