Event Description

A healthcare professional reported that during implantation of an intraocular lens (iol) the lens was found to be too stiff to implant, tried to insert the lens onto lens cartridge, the lens did not fold properly.When inserted into the eye, the surgeon found the lens was defective.Then lens was removed and replaced with another lens of a different batch number.Additional information was requested and received.

Manufacturer Narrative

The lens was returned for evaluation.Solution is dried on the lens.One haptic is pointing down into a drain hole in the lens case.Multiple split cracks are observed along the edge of the optic going towards the center of the optic.Deep scratch marks are observed on both the anterior and posterior surfaces of the optic.A large piece is broken off of the edge of the lens in the shape of a post in the lens case which could have been cause by replacing the lens incorrectly in the lens case for return.A dimensional inspection could not be conducted due to extensive damage.A fold inspection could not be conducted due to extensive damage.All product and batch history records are quality reviewed prior to product release.Lens damage was observed.All lenses are 100% inspected for cosmetic attributes and the damage exhibited by the returned complaint sample would not have met company¿s release criteria.Based on our observation, it can be reasonably concluded that the damage is not manufacturing related.Due to the presence of surgical solution and the condition of the returned sample, the damage is most likely related to customer handling.We are unable to verify the reported complaint of a folding issue.The manufacturer internal reference number is: (b)(4).
