Event Description

It was reported that after the intraocular lens (iol) insertion, the surgeon discovered that the haptics were sticking together and it was difficult to separate them.This was observed with a total of three (3) out of twelve (12) cases of the day.The physician prepared the iol according to the directions for use (dfu).Through follow-up we learned that the iols were stored according to the dfu.The unfolding of the lens required extra maneuvers and instruments that were used to push and separate the haptics apart.The patient is doing good.Patient conditions were not affected, except for a slight delay due to use of extra instruments.No further information was provided.This is report 3 of 3.A separate report is being submitted for each of the lenses involved.

Manufacturer Narrative

Upon further review it was noted that event detail provided below was inadvertently omitted from the initial report.Therefore, the following fields have been updated accordingly: section b5 - describe event or problem: account indicated that the text of the preloaded intraocular lens (iol) packaging is hard to read compared to other iols in use.The surgeon took longer to see and ensure that it is the iol with the correct diopter needed.Section h6 -health effect - medical device problem code: 3191: dissatisfaction - quality/design.Additional information: section h3 - device evaluated by manufacturer? yes.Device evaluation: no suspect product was received by the manufacturer; however, a photograph provided by the customer was evaluated.The picture shows an eye being implanted with a lens claimed to be a tecnis 1-piece iol with smartload delivery technology, model gcb00.The picture shows an iol in the intraocular space with the lens haptics attached (stuck) between them.The root cause or the potential clinical impact of the reported event cannot be determined from a picture assessment.Therefore, product testing could not be performed, and the customer¿s reported complaint could not be verified.The complaint issue of haptic stuck to haptic was identified during product evaluation; however, based on the complaint investigation results the complaint issue could not be confirmed to be related to the manufacturing or design process.Conclusion: as a result of the investigation, there is no indication of a product quality deficiency.All pertinent information available to johnson and johnson surgical vision, inc.Has been submitted.
