Why these products were recalled

Analysis of the completed dataset from the COMPASS-XT long-term study showed that the CyPass Micro-Stent group experienced statistically significant endothelial cell loss (ECL) compared to the group who underwent cataract surgery alone.

The agency’s own wording, quoted from the enforcement report.

The unit total adds up the quantities the agency stated for each product. Where a product record gave no figure, or gave a weight rather than a count, it contributes nothing — so the real total is at least this, never less.
