Manufacturer Narrative

According to the reporter, the lens is not available for evaluation.The lot history, trend analysis, risk analysis and directions for use review are considered acceptable, with the product performing within anticipated rates.No similar complaints have been received for this lot number.Subsequent to the reported event, the replacement iol dislocated and had to be repositioned.In the surgeon¿s opinion, the likely cause of lens dislocation of the replacement lens is weak zonules.This secondary event has been deemed unrelated to the second intraocular lens implanted.As the date of diagnosis of weak zonules is unknown it cannot be conclusively determined if the z-syndrome experienced with the reported lens is also related to the weak zonules.The most probable root cause is that this event is related to the patient¿s ocular anatomy.No corrective action is necessary at this time.

Event Description
|
According to the surgeon, the patient¿s weak zonules may have contributed to patient¿s z-syndrome.However, the surgeon did not see the patient prior to cataract surgery and the z-syndrome, so the surgeon is unable to say for sure.The surgeon indicated that the z-syndrome could be related to the patient¿s capsular fibrosis.Per the surgeon, the patient¿s floaters are a result of vitreous synerisis.
