Additional Manufacturer Narrative

H3: the irrigation/aspiration (i/a) tip was inspected under a microscope.The broken-off tip was not returned with the base, making a conclusive analysis difficult.No indication was found that the i/a tip was made improperly.The base was deformed and bulging.The bulge suggests compressive forces, indicating that the tip became weakened by bending.The wall thickness did not appear to be compromised on the inspected part, so bending the tip would have required significant force.The location of the deformation suggest that the break could have been caused by hitting the end of the tip against another object.It also could be caused by excessive force on the side of the tip or by a combination of these forces.This likely occurred before insertion in the eye, weakening the tip so that tip broke under the forces encountered inside the eye.This is the first complaint for this lot and the fifth complaint for this part number since distribution start date of (b)(6) 2018.Conclusion: the tip was broken off due to bending, which was most likely due to user handling.A review of records related to the device was reviewed and no anomalies were identified.Johnson & johnson surgical vision will continue to monitor this type of complaint.All pertinent information available to johnson & johnson surgical vision, inc has been submitted.
