Additional Manufacturer Narrative

The device was returned loose in a plastic bag.The lock-out assembly has been removed.The plunger is oriented correctly.Viscoelastic is observed in the device.The plunger is fully advanced outside the tip of the nozzle.The nozzle tip has a heavy stress.Iol is returned outside of the device in a specimen container with an unknown solution.Iol is returned in two(2) segments.Solution is dried on the returned segments.The returned segments are scratched/fractured - rejectable.We are unable to determine the root cause for the reported complaint "lens scratched".Damage was observed to the tip of the nozzle.The observed damage typically occurs if there is a lack of viscoelastic between the lens and the cartridge lumen and/or if the plunger is not positioned correctly at the trailing optic edge for advancement.This can allow the lens to fold around the plunger tip making it too large to correctly advance through the narrow tip of the nozzle causing damage.The manufacturer internal reference number is: (b)(4).
