Event Description
|
Reportedly, trailing haptic was noticed bent, after loading the iol into the right eye.The capsular bag was reported broken and there was vitreous loss.The lens was then removed and a vitrectomy was performed.The patient was left aphakic due to the cornea being too cloudy.According to the surgeon, patient outcome will be good as long as corneal edema clears and a backup iol is implanted at a later date.In the physician¿s opinion, the most likely cause of this event is a loading error.

Manufacturer Narrative

The device was not returned for evaluation as it was discarded.Although requested, a lot number was not provided; therefore, a device history record (dhr) review could not be performed.The trend analysis, risk analysis and directions for use review were considered acceptable, with the product performing within anticipated rates.Based on the available information, the root cause of this event could not be conclusively determined; however, user-related factors (such as loading or handling techniques) and/or procedural factors (such as lens and inserter interaction) might have caused or contributed to the event.
