The lens was returned positioned incorrectly in the lens case.Solution was dried on the lens.Both haptics are bent in the gusset and distal area.The optic is torn/split/cracked and cut into two portions, typical of insertion and removal.Both cut optic portions have scratches on the anterior and posterior sides of the lens.The customer indicated the use of a qualified associated cartridge and handpiece.The customer indicated the use of a viscoelastic, which is not qualified for the lens/cartridge combination used.The root cause for the reported complaint may be related to a failure to follow the instruction for use (ifu).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).
