Event Description
|
It was reported that the intraocular lens (iol) did not load correctly and the cartridge had a defect in it.Additional information received revealed that the tip of the cartridge had a fork in it.The cartridge had a split near the tip which was not seen until it was seen in the microscope.Due to this, the lens wrapped around the plunger instead of curling up when the plunger was applied to insert the lens into the patient's operative eye.The tip of the lens was inserted into the eye, however, the lens inserter was pulled out before completely pushing the lens into the eye as the problem was noticed then.No additional intervention was required and the procedure was completed using a different lens and cartridge.No further information was available.

Corrected data: through follow-up, it was learned that the model number of the suspect cartridge to be 1mtec30 and not pscst30 as reported initially.The following sections have been updated to reflect the 1mtec30 device identifiers: section d1: brand name: unfolder platinum 1 series.Section d4: model number: 1mtec30.Section d4: catalog number: 1mtec30.Section d4: unique identifier (udi) number: (b)(4).Unknown (partial udi number is known, as the lot number was not provided).Section g4: pma/510(k) number: k081545.Additional information: section d9: device available for evaluation: yes.Section d9: returned to manufacturer on: aug 25, 2021.Section h3: device evaluated by manufacturer: yes.Device evaluation: the product was returned to the manufacturing site for evaluation.Visual inspection of the cartridge tip under magnification revealed only trace amounts of viscoelastic residue and a cracked cartridge tip.The complaint issues loading issues and delivery issues could not be confirmed.The complaint issue cartridge tip crack was confirmed; however, this can be attributed to handling, the lack of viscoelastic residue in the cartridge would suggest that not enough was used during implanting, which is consistent with causing cartridge tip damage.Therefore, the complaint issue cannot be confirmed to be due to manufacturing and no product deficiency could be identified.Manufacturing record review: the manufacturing records for the product were not reviewed.Since lot number was not available, neither a manufacturing record evaluation nor complaint occurrence/history for the production order were possible.Conclusion: as a result of the investigation there is no indication of a product quality deficiency.All pertinent information available to johnson & johnson surgical vision, inc.Has been submitted.
