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.

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.
