Additional Manufacturer Narrative

Additional information provided in d.9., h.3, h.6.And h.10.The lens was returned in a specimen cup.Blood and solution was dried on the lens.One haptic was broken in the gusset area (returned).The optic is cut into pieces, typical of insertion and removal.The cut optic pieces have multiple small scratches and cracks.One cut optic portion had a nick/chip in the optic edge with a piece of lens material missing (not returned).Qualified associated products were indicated.The reported scratch was observed.All lenses are 100% inspected for cosmetic attributes and the damage exhibited by the returned complaint sample would not have met company release criteria.Based on our observation, and the review of manufacturing records, it can be reasonably concluded that the damage is not manufacturing related.Due to the presence of blood, surgical solution, and the condition of the returned sample, the damage is most likely related to customer handling.The manufacturer internal reference number is: (b)(4).
