Medical Device Recall: Oculus Pentacam AXL Wave Measurement Inaccuracy
Oculus Pentacam AXL Wave optical devices may have insufficient anti-reflective coating, potentially causing inaccurate axial length measurements used in eye surgery planning.
What this means for you
Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.
Our severity reasoning: This is a risk-of-harm medical device where injury has not yet been reported. The potential for inaccurate measurements could affect surgical outcomes, but no illnesses or injuries have been documented in the source text. FDA Class II classification supports the High rating rather than Moderate.
