Product evaluation: the product was returned for analysis and the reported complaint was observed.Photo review: the returned photo shows iol on a white background.There is a line/mark observed on the iol optic.A definitive determination of damage cannot be made without the evaluation of the physical product.Additional observations were as follows: iol returned wrapped in gauze in a clear zip lock bag.Solution is dried on both surfaces of the optic and haptics.Both haptics are intact.The optic is torn/split-cut, has loose fibers & particulate and has scratches/marks-rejectable.Additional information: the complainant indicates the use of a non company product as a viscoelastic, which is not qualified for use with associated iol model.The root cause may be related to a failure to follow the directions for use (dfu) as the surgeon states the use of a non-qualified viscoelastic.Due to differing material properties, the use of a non-qualified viscoelastic may result in delivery issues and/or damage.The manufacturer internal reference number is: (b)(4).
