What this means for you
Illness, injury, or structural failure has been reported. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.
Our severity reasoning: This is a Class I FDA recall, which per the rules never goes below score 4. No illnesses or injuries have been reported, but the hazard—unvalidated sterilization of eye-surgery devices—poses significant infection risk.
Plain-English summary
The FDA has issued a Class I recall for the BAUSCH+LOMB I-PACK Injection Kit with Wire Speculum (REF 18069W), manufactured by Synergetics Inc. This device is used for intravitreal injections in eye surgery. The recall affects 35 units distributed nationwide in the United States.
The recall was initiated because the supplier could not validate sterilization certificates for the affected devices. This means the sterilization status of these injection kits cannot be confirmed. Devices used in intravitreal injections must be sterile to prevent eye infections and other serious complications.
Patients who have received intravitreal injections with affected devices should consult their eye care provider. Consumers in possession of this device should discontinue use and contact the manufacturer or their healthcare provider for instructions on return or replacement.
