REFERENCE 1. Glaukos Data on File. iStent infinite® IMPORTANT SAFET Y INFORMATION INDICATION FOR USE. The iStent infinite® Trabecular Micro-Bypass System Model iS3 is an implantable device intended to reduce the intraocular pressure (IOP) of the eye. It is indicated for use in adult patient s with primar y open-angle glaucoma in whom previous medical and surgical treatment has failed. CONTRAINDICATIONS. The iStent infinite is contraindicated in eyes with angle-closure glaucoma where the angle has not been surgically opened, acute traumatic, malignant, ac tive uveitic, or ac tive neovascular glaucoma, discernible congenital anomalies of the anterior chamber (AC) angle, retrobulbar tumor, thyroid eye disease, or Sturge-Weber Syndrome or any other t ype of condition that may cause elevated episcleral venous pressure. WARNINGS. Gonioscopy should be per formed prior to surger y to exclude congenital anomalies of the angle, PA S, rubeosis, or conditions that would prohibit adequate visualization that could lead to improper placement of the stent and pose a hazard. MRI INFORMATION. The iStent infinite is MR-Conditional, i.e., the device is safe for use in a specified MR environment under specified conditions; please see Direc tions for Use (DFU) label for details. PRECAUTIONS. The surgeon should monitor the patient postoperatively for proper maintenance of IOP. Three out of 61 par ticipant s (4.9%) in the pivotal clinical trial were phakic. Therefore, there is insuf ficient evidence to determine whether the clinical per formance of the device may be dif ferent in those who are phakic versus in those who are pseudophakic. ADVERSE EVENTS. The most common postoperative adverse event s repor ted in the iStent infinite pivotal trial included IOP increase ≥ 10 mmHg vs. baseline IOP (8.2%), loss of BSC VA ≥ 2 lines (11.5%), ocular sur face disease (11.5%), perioperative inflammation (6.6%) and visual field loss ≥ 2.5 dB (6.6%). CAUTION: Federal law restric t s this device to sale by, or on the order of, a physician. Please see DFU for a complete list of contraindications, warnings, precautions, and adverse event s.
