The physician reported that, during intraocular lens (iol) implant procedure, there was a crack in the center of the optical part after implanting the iol.There was no resistance or discomfort at the time of implantation and it was found to be damaged immediately after implanting.The surgery was completed without product replacement.The lens remained implanted in the patient's eye.

The product was not returned for analysis.Video shows iol implantation.The lens preparation for implantation is not provided.Cartridge comes in the picture and the lens is advanced into the mid nozzle.Position of the lens for the implantation cannot be confirmed from the video.Both haptics are seen to be folded over the iol optic as the lens is implanted and unfolds.Marks and lines are visible over the iol optic post implantation.The complainant indicates the use of viscoelastic, which is not qualified to be used with the associated iol model.While we are unable to determine the origin of the reported complaint, our observations reasonably suggest that it is not manufacturing related.Based on the information provided by the customer, the most likely root cause is failure to follow instructions for use (ifu), as the surgeon states the use of non-qualified ovd.The use of an non-qualified ovd may cause damage to the iol and potential complications during the implantation process.Based on the results from the product history record, the products met release criteria.The manufacturer internal reference number is: (b)(4).
