    Description

    Zeiss brand IOLMaster 500, Model 500, Biomicroscope, Slit-Lamp, AC-Powered, Product is manufactured by Carl Zeiss Meditec AG (Jena), Carl Zeiss Promenade 10, Jena, Germany 07745; and distributed by Carl Zeiss Meditec, Inc., Dublin, CA This device is intended for use primarily by physicians and health care workers and may be only used under the supervision of a physician.

    Reason

    The user database delivered for download contained an erroneous value. Specifically the "aO" constant of the lens AMO Sensar AR40E is listed as "0.0" in the internal lens database of the IOLMaster. The correct value is -2.420. This could lead to the implantation of lens with a wrong diopter value.
