The device with the lens was returned loose in the opened carton.The plunger lock and lens stop have been removed.Viscoelastic was observed in the device.The plunger was retracted to mid-nozzle.The lens appeared to have been replaced into the device loading area on top of the plunger.One haptic was folded onto the anterior optic surface and dried in viscoelastic.The other haptic distal tip has become broken in the closing of the door.There was no damage observed to 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 "lens stuck to incision".The lens appeared to have been replaced into the device loading area on top of the plunger for return.The plunger of the used device was retracted to mid-nozzle.The position of the plunger relative to the lens during delivery cannot be determined.The ifu(instructions to follow) instructs: after the lens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.No device damage was observed.A qualified viscoelastic was indicated.The manufacturer internal reference number is: (b)(4).
