Additional Manufacturer Narrative

The lens was not returned for analysis.Only the empty lens case was returned in the carton with the packaging inserts and the open peel pouch.There is no damage observed to the lens case or the locking arm mechanism.The lens case functions as intended.The associated cartridge and handpiece were not provided.It is unknown if qualified products were used.The company lens is only qualified for use with the company cartridge.Information was provided in the file that indicated the use of a non-qualified viscoelastic.The root cause for the reported complaint appears to be related to failure to follow the ifu (instructions for use).The file indicated the use of a non-qualified viscoelastic.The ifu instructs that an company qualified delivery system and viscoelastic combination should be used.The use of an unqualified combination may cause damage to the lens and potential complications during the implantation process.The manufacturer internal reference number is: (b)(4).
