Manufacturer Narrative

The lens was returned to b+l.Visual inspection found the tip bent and split up the sides.The lens is protruding from the sides of the split tip.Both haptics are bent.There is a small amount of dried solution visible in the loading deck but none in the tip.Due to the condition in which the inserter was returned further testing could not be performed.The device history records were reviewed and there were no discrepancies or unusual finding that relate to the reported issue.The exact cause of the reported event could not be conclusively determined.However, it is possible that user related factors (such as loading or handling techniques) and/or procedural factors (such as lens and inserter interaction) might have contributed to the event.
