Additional information: section d9 - device available for evaluation? yes section d9 - date returned to manufacturer: 20-sep-2023 section h3 - device evaluated by manufacturer? yes device evaluation: analysis of the photograph provided by the customer revealed a white speck in the eye.The foreign material found during the operation was received for investigation.The complaint product was not included in the shipment.The material had been placed in a sterile container.Visual inspection and fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ftir) micro-spectroscopic analysis of this material was carried out.The sample spectrum was compared to a reference infrared (ir) database for identification of the material.The material was spectrally similar to a material identified as ¿rubber membrane material".Based upon the complaint file picture, visual & stereomicroscopic observations, the ftir investigation and the customer narrative, the device problem code dc-foreign material loose was confirmed.The foreign material was spectrally and physically similar to the rubber perforation membrane or the rubber plunger.Coring of the perforation membrane during activation of the cylinder was the most likely source of the particle.This risk is indicated in the product's directions for use (dfu) as follows "express a small amount of the healon5® pro ovd from the syringe prior to use and carefully examine it during use to avoid injecting minute rubber particles which may be released when the syringe diaphragm is punctured".Conclusion: as a result of the investigation, there was no indication of a product quality deficiency.All pertinent information available to johnson and johnson surgical vision, inc.Has been submitted.
