The cartridge and the intraocular lens were returned to the manufacturer for evaluation.Visual inspection of the return sample revealed that the lens was not returned in its original package.The return cartridge was visually inspected under a microscope.A crack was observed at the cartridge tip and residues of viscoelastic solution were observed on the cartridge tip, the tube and the loading zone areas.Surface residuals (fiber/particles) were also observed.The cause of the crack could be related to the handling of the lens during the insertion process.A review of the directions for use (dfu) was conducted.The dfu adequately provides instructions and warnings for proper use and handling of the device.The manufacturing record review was performed.The lens was manufactured within specifications.There is no associated deviation or non-conformity report found in the manufacturing record review (mrr).The device manufacturing procedures were performed as required.All pertinent information available to abbott medical optics has been submitted.
