The product contains a misprinted expiration date on the peel pack. Both were printed as "180615", which is the lot number. The Lot number is correct.
Certain lots are missing a protective sheath component over the silicone tip, which may result in the silicone tip breaking or detaching at the metal tube component. If the tip becomes detached during a procedure while in the eye, the fragment will need to be retrieved to mitigate the possibility of injury.
A small number of devices in this lot may have a melted cap and a hole formed through the packaging. The risk is potentially the product will no longer be sterile for use and may cause harm to a patient.
