Event Description

A facility representative reported that during intraocular lens (iol) implant procedure, the lens was split in half after insertion.The lens was removed and replaced and procedure completed.Additional information was requested and received stating, the capsular bag was intact so lens replaced with another lens of same power.Patient doesn¿t foresee any ongoing concerns.

Manufacturer Narrative

The product was returned for analysis and the reported damage was observed.Iol returned in three pieces adhered with dried solution to an unlabeled specimen container.Solution is dried on the iol.Backing paper adhered to iol, iol cleaned to facilitate further evaluation on the reported complaint.The haptics are intact.The optic is torn/split-cut dividing the iol in three(3) and scratched/marked-rejectable.We are unable to determine the root cause for the reported complaint "lens split in half after inserted".The returned iol shows evidence of possible handling by the customer due to the presence of solution dried on both surfaces.In addition to this, all iols are 100% cosmetically inspected as per approved manufacturing procedures and the observed lens damage would not meet our current release criteria.Based on these investigation findings, we are unable to verify if the iol contributed to the event.All product and batch history records are quality reviewed prior to product release.The manufacturer internal reference number is: (b)(4).
