    SEVERAL POTENTIAL CAUSES OF THE REPORTED EVENTS WERE IDENTIFIED, BUT THE ACTUAL CAUSE IS NOT DEFINITIVE. THE IMMEDIATE AND LONG TERM HEALTH RISK IS DEFINED BY THE SEVERITY OF INJURIES REPORTED BY THE PHYSICIAN AT SLOAN KETTERING. HOWEVER, WHETHER THROUGH USE ERROR, DEVICE DESIGN, ISSUES WITH LABELING AND TRAINING, OR UNIQUE PATIENT ANATOMY, IF THE LIO DEVICE DELIVERS LASER ENERGY TO AN UNINTENDED TARGET, THE RISK SEVERITY (SERIOUSNESS OF HARM) IS "RESULTS IN PERMANENT IMPAIRMENT OF BODY FUNCTION OR PERMANENT DAMAGE TO A BODY STRUCTURE." BECAUSE THE ROOT CAUSE IS UNKNOWN AND THE PROBABILITY OF OCCURRENCE CANNOT BE DETERMINED BUT THE SEVERITY OF HARM RESULTING FROM LASER DELIVERY TO AN UNINTENDED TARGET IS HIGH, IRIDEX HAS MADE A CORPORATE DECISION TO CONDUCT A VOLUNTARY RECALL OF THE TRUFOCUS LIO PREMIERE. RECALL REPORT # 2939653-02/27/2018-001-R.
