| Issue: | Due to a software defect IOL calculation printouts and exported reports can contain wrong IOL power data (mix-up of lens types; calculated IOL power does not fit to stated lens type) if a specific and unusual operator sequence is followed and the healthcare provider does not recognize that the second calculation is identical to the first although a different lens type was selected. This could lead to order and implantation of IOLs with wrong lens power and to (correctable) impairment of patient's visual acuity. |
