THE PT PRESENTED WITH POSTOPERATIVE ACUTE IRITIS, DENSE VITREOUS DEBRIS AND MEMBRANE FORMATION. BECAUSE THE MATE DONOR CORNEAL RIM CULTURE WAS POSITIVE FOR ENTEROCOCCUS, THE PT WAS GIVEN VANCOMYCIN INTRAVITREAL INJECTION AS A PRECAUTIONARY TREATMENT. INITIAL DIAGNOSIS CHANGED FROM ACUTE IRITIS TO ENDOPHTHALMITIS AFTER RECEIPT OF INFO ABOUT MATE CORNEA POSITIVE DONOR RIM CULTURES. A VITREOUS SAMPLE CULTURE WAS NEGATIVE AND PT STATUS IMPROVED. THIS REPORT REFERS TO PT (B)(6). REFERENCE MDR # 1119279-2012-00207 FOR PT (B)(6). ON (B)(4) 2012, ADDITIONAL INFO WAS RECEIVED INDICATING THAT THE CORNEAS HAD BEEN STORED IN IVC-12 CORNEAL VIEWING CHAMBERS. PER THE REPORTER, THE IVC-12 CORNEAL VIEWING CHAMBERS APPEARED TO BE SEALED PROPERLY, AND WERE DESCRIBED AS LOOKING GOOD. NO RIM CULTURES WERE TAKEN FROM CORNEA (B)(6). THE REPORTER ALSO INDICATED THAT CULTURES ARE NOT ROUTINELY PERFORMED UPON HARVESTING THE CORNEAS FROM THE DONOR AS CORNEAS ARE NON-STERILE TISSUE.
