TECNIS® IOLs
Caution
Federal law restricts this device to sale by or on the order of a physician.
Indications
TECNIS® lenses are indicated for the visual correction of aphakia in adult patients in whom a cataractous lens has been removed by extracapsular cataract extraction. These devices are intended to be placed in the capsular bag.
Warnings
Physicians considering lens implantation under any of the conditions described in the Directions for Use labeling should weigh the potential risk/benefit ratio prior to implanting a lens.
Precautions
Do not resterilize or autoclave. Use only sterile irrigating solutions such as balanced salt solution or sterile normal saline. Do not store in direct sunlight or over 45°C.
Adverse Events
Adverse events occurred at rates between 1.6% and 3.3% during the clinical trials for TECNIS® IOLs or their “parent” IOLs. These events included macular edema, endophthalmitis, anterior lens tissue ongrowth, lens dislocation, hypopyon, corneal edema, iritis, hyphema, secondary glaucoma, and secondary surgical intervention.

The One Series Ultra Cartridge Implantation System
Caution
Federal law restricts this device to sale by or on the order of a physician.
Indications
The DK7786 handpiece with the One Series Ultra cartridge implantation system is used to fold and assist in inserting TECNIS® 1-Piece intraocular lenses (IOL), ONLY into the capsular bag.
Warnings
The DK7786 handpiece with the One Series Ultra cartridge implantation system should only be used with TECNIS® 1-Piece IOLs. Do not use if the cartridge tip is cracked or split prior to implantation. Never release the plunger until the optic body has been completely released from the cartridge tube. The lens and cartridge should be discarded if the lens has been folded within the cartridge for more than 5 minutes. If the IOL is not properly placed in the cartridge, the IOL may be damaged and/or implanted upside down. Do not attempt to modify or alter this device or any of the components, as this can significantly affect the function and/or structural integrity of the design. Use of methyl cellulose viscoelastics is not recommended as they have not been validated with this implantation system. Do not implant lens if rod tip becomes jammed in the cartridge.
Precautions
The use of viscoelastics is required when loading the IOL into the cartridge. For optimal performance use the AMO Healon family of viscoelastics. Do not use balanced salt solution. The combination of low operating room temperatures and high IOL diopter powers may require a slower delivery. Do not use if any component of this implantation system has been dropped or inadvertently struck while outside of the shipping case. Do not store the cartridges at temperatures under 5°C or over 30°C.
Contraindications
Do not use the handpiece if the rod tip appears nicked or damaged in any way.
