The lens and the used device were returned separately inside the opened product carton.The lens was returned inside a small plastic bag.Viscoelastic was dried on the lens.One haptic was adhered in the dried solution onto the anterior optic surface.The used device was returned inside the opened blister tray.The lens stop and plunger lock were removed.The plunger was oriented correctly.Viscoelastic was observed inside the device.The plunger was fully deployed.The plunger tip extended beyond the nozzle tip.No damage was 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 shot out and the haptic appeared to be bent over the lens".The lens and the device were returned separately.The reported bent haptic was observed.The plunger in the device was fully deployed.No damage was observed to the device.A qualified viscoelastic was indicated.Due to being returned separately, it cannot be confirmed if the position of the lens and plunger were in the acceptable positions for advancement.The position of the plunger relative to the lens during delivery cannot be determined.The ifu 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.The manufacturer internal reference number is: (b)(4).
