FDA Recalls (17)

Recalls reported by this firm to the FDA. Listed at company level — FDA recall records don't identify a specific catalogue device.

Carl Zeiss Meditec AG has 17 FDA recall records initiated between May 18, 2009, and January 14, 2022, with statuses recorded as open, classified, or terminated. The reasons cited include manufacturing defects (e.g., dislodged tubes, broken screws), software issues (e.g., incorrect data saving, mislabeled images, suction loss during treatment), labeling errors (e.g., misapplied manuals, incorrect user database values), and failures to obtain pre-market clearance for certain devices. Additional concerns involve potential electrical hazards, packaging anomalies, and distribution of devices without required approvals.

AI-generated summary of the recall records listed below. It describes what the records state and is not an assessment of this manufacturer.

Date	Recall No.	Class	Status	Reason
Jan 14, 2022	Z-0723-2022	—	open, classified	Optic nerve head angiography scan to be turned off due to its distribution without pre-market clearance.
Jul 8, 2021	Z-2227-2021	—	open, classified	Due to failure to acquire pre-market clearance for its high resolution tomographic/biomicroscope imaging device (Model 6000) prior to commercializing the device.
Dec 6, 2018	Z-0680-2020	—	terminated	VisuMax devices with software version 2.10.13 and activated SW-Module ReLEx (SMILE) option may experience a software issue. In case of a suction loss during treatment the software allows the user to choose the option immediate restart or restart treatment. Suction loss can occur in phase 1 through phase 5. The software defect refers to Phase 2 (between 10% and 100% of lower lenticule cut) only. The software offers a flap cut, but due to the software issue it performs a cap cut instead of a flap cut if the user proceeds.
Oct 16, 2018	Z-0770-2020	—	terminated	Under certain fault conditions, the existing design may expose the operator to a hazardous voltage when contacting the metal enclosure (including mounting screws) around the up/down switch.
Oct 23, 2013	Z-0334-2014	—	terminated	The user database delivered for download contained an erroneous value. Specifically the "aO" constant of the lens AMO Sensar AR40E is listed as "0.0" in the internal lens database of the IOLMaster. The correct value is -2.420. This could lead to the implantation of lens with a wrong diopter value.

Apr 18, 2013	Z-1440-2013	—	terminated	Carl Zeiss Meditec is conducting a field corrective action for its OPMI Pentero C surgical microscope system. During a routine inspection, one microscope installation was found to have 3 (three) broken screws out of 6 (six) in the lower section of the ceiling mount.
Oct 25, 2012	Z-0404-2013	—	terminated	A manufacturing defect has been identified which could results in the small tube becoming dislodged between the luer fitting and the check valve.
Oct 25, 2012	Z-0405-2013	—	terminated	A manufacturing defect has been identified which could results in the small tube becoming dislodged between the luer fitting and the check valve.
Oct 25, 2012	Z-0406-2013	—	terminated	A manufacturing defect has been identified which could results in the small tube becoming dislodged between the luer fitting and the check valve.
Sep 26, 2011	Z-0105-2012	—	terminated	An incorrect nut and bolt set was used in the axis three (3) spring assembly of the OPMI VARIO 700 surgical microscope distributed to three US locations.
Sep 12, 2011	Z-3275-2011	—	terminated	Some third party surgical drapes have optically active protective lenses that could affect the ZEISS surgical microscope position information that is passed on to third party navigation systems.
Jul 1, 2011	Z-2989-2011	—	terminated	Carl Zeiss Meditec received a report that the INTRABEAM 20 x 20 cm sterile shield's packaging looked wet inside. Investigation found the substance to be Triethylene Glycol,

Mar 10, 2011	Z-2126-2011	—	terminated	A software defect exists in versions 5.0.0 and 5.1.0 where when following a specific workflow, exam data may be saved under the name of the first patient
Jul 31, 2009	Z-2048-2009	—	terminated	Mis-labeled image. A bug in version 6.0.0 software and 6.0.0 software kit used with Stratus OCT Model 3000 can produce a report that incorrectly labels OD or OS.
May 18, 2009	Z-0904-2011	—	terminated	Potential Retina Damage-- An error in the user manual may result in misapplied filter and injury during treatment.
