Event Description
|
It was reported that upon insertion of the intraocular lens (iol) into the right (od) eye, the haptic tore away from the lens body.The iol damage was noticed intraoperatively and the iol was removed with lens cutters.The capsular bag was damaged and the surgery was aborted due to hemorrhage and a loss of vitreous.A vitrectomy was performed.The incision was not enlarged, but a suture of 10.0 nylon was used.The plan of surgery changed and the patient was left aphakic with no secondary iol implanted until visual status has stabilized.Patient has been referred to a retina specialist with a plan for a 2° anterior chamber (ac) lens later.The patient's prognosis is good.In the physician's opinion, the most likely cause of the iol damage was a defective lens.

Manufacturer Narrative
|
The delivery device was returned for evaluation in the associated intraocular lens (iol) box with the tip bent.The original packaging was not returned.The lot number was not able to be confirmed from the returned device.There was very little dried solution visible in the loading deck or in the tip.Functional testing could not be performed due to the damage.The device history record (dhr) was reviewed and there were no discrepancies or deviations found that related to the reported issue.The trend analysis, risk analysis and directions for use review are considered acceptable, with the product performing within anticipated rates.The most probable root cause is operational context.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.No corrective action is necessary at this time.
