AMO Tecnis 1-Piece Intraocular Lens (Model ZCB00)

Abbott Medical Optics (AMO) has received complaints of some Tecnis 1-Piece IOLs (model ZCB00) have adhered to the lens optic after insertion into the eye. This can lead to a need for additional manipulation to separate the haptics from the optic during surgery which could lead to an injury.

Beginning on Friday, November 6, 2009, AMO began distribution of the Recall Notification Letter via Federal Express to the 874 AMO Tecnis 1-piece IOL customer accounts in the US. Included with the Recall Notification letter is a facsimile delivery confirmation that each customer was instructed to fax back to AMO to confirm receipt of the Recall Notification Letter. --- Beginning on Monday, November 9, 2009, AMO began distribution of the Recall Notification letter to the AMO Tecnis 1-piece IOL customer/distributors accounts outside the USA. "THIS RECALL NOTIFICATION DOES NOT INVOLVE TECNIS 1-PIECE IOL THAT HAVE BEEN IMPLANTED. ONCE THE HAPTICS HAVE BEEN SUCCESSFULLY DEPLOYED, THESE LENSES FUNCTION PROPERLY." Questions should be directed to an AMO Customer Service Representative at 1-877-AMO-4LIFE (1-877-266-4543).
