Additional information provided in d.9.H.3., h.6.And h.10.The device with the lens was returned loose in a plastic bag.The plunger lock and lens stop have been removed.The plunger was oriented correctly.Viscoelastic was observed in the device.The plunger has advanced to mid-nozzle and has overrode the lens.The lens was located at mid-nozzle.The trailing haptic was folded onto the anterior optic surface along the left side of the plunger.The leading haptic was extended.The nozzle was removed and cleaned for further evaluation.The lens was removed during cleaning.Top coat dye stain testing was conducted with acceptable results.Product history records were reviewed and the documentation indicated the product met release criteria.Viscoelastic was not provided.It is unknown if a qualified product was used.The root cause cannot be determined for the reported complaint.A plunger override was observed.It is unknown if a qualified viscoelastic was used.The instructions for use (ifu) instructs: during device preparation and implantation of the company iol with the company preloaded delivery system, an company qualified ophthalmic viscoelastic device (ovd) should be used.The use of an unqualified ovd may cause damage to the lens and potential complications during the device preparation and implantation steps.Plunger override may occur: ¿ due to rapid advancement faster than the ifu recommend rate.¿ due to the use of a non-qualified viscoelastic.Material properties of non-qualified ovds may contribute to underfill, overfill, misfolding of the haptics, or other inconsistent folding outcomes.¿ if inadequate viscoelastic is placed in the device this will cause inadequate coverage of the lens fold path which may cause the lens to advance incorrectly or become ¿stuck¿ in the device allowing the plunger to override the lens.¿ if the device is overfilled with ovd, this can prevent the trailing haptic from being placed properly or move the lens out of position resulting in misfolding.¿ if the operating room temperature is too high (> 23°c / 73° f) lens folding consistency is negatively affected, the lens is more adherent and this may inhibit lens advancement.Any of the above listed causes alone, or in combination, may create the reported event.Top coat dye stain testing was conducted with acceptable results.The manufacturer internal reference number is: 2022-28832.
