Alcon has recalled its LenSx Laser System, indicated for use in patients undergoing cataract surgery and refractive surgery, after receiving reports concerning incomplete corneal flap creation. An FDA recall [notice](http://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfres/res.cfm?id=145304&ref=fdaweb.com) says the device errors are related to a “software design (manufacturing process).” The company has sent users a recall notification letter detailing precautions that should be taken by the surgeon to mitigate the risks.
