Reported risk: 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
