Phoroptor VRx Digital Refraction System

Issued September 8, 2023
Issue
Some Phoroptor VRx devices may have an assembly defect that causes the device to detach from the bracket that connects it to an ophthalmic stand. A device that detaches from a stand can fall on to a patient or operator causing an injury. The defect was identified via a customer complaint received on April 3, 2023. The subsequent complaint investigation showed that other units built in December 2021 and January 2022 could have the same defect. Recall Start Date: August 11, 2023
