Only the device was returned loose inside a large biohazard bag.The plunger lock and lens stop have been removed.The plunger was oriented correctly.Viscoelastic was observed in the device.The plunger was retracted to mid-nozzle.The lens was not returned inside the device.Product history records were reviewed and documentation indicated the product met release criteria.A qualified viscoelastic was indicated.The root cause cannot be determined for the reported complaint of "injector failure".The used device was evaluated.The plunger has been retracted to mid-nozzle.The plunger position in relation to the lens during advancement cannot be determined.The ifu instructs: after the lens has been advanced to the nozzle line, the lens should be visually inspected to determine the position of the haptics.The plunger should be in contact with the trailing optic edge.After confirming the lens is properly positioned and the haptics are folded properly, proceed with lens implantation.Proceeding with implantation of a misfolded haptic or a lens that appears to be ¿out of position¿ can result in a broken haptic or other negative outcome, since the haptic may be trapped and stretched, and/or pinched and sheared by the moving plunger.The lens condition cannot be determined.The lens appears to have been delivered through the device, as there was no lens returned inside or outside of the device.The manufacturer internal reference number is: (b)(4).
