The lens was returned in a clear liquid inside a syringe.The lens was removed from the syringe for further evaluation.Both haptics are broken (possibly cut) from the optic.The optic was torn/split/cracked and cut into multiple pieces, typical of insertion and removal.The cut optic portions have multiple scratches, deep scrape marks, and scuff marks in the shape of an instrument used to grasp the lens on the anterior and posterior sides of the optic.The indicated video card was not received with the sample.A qualified cartridge and handpiece were indicated.The associated viscoelastic was not provided.It is unknown if a qualified product was used.The reported scratch 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, and the review of manufacturing records, 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.The associated viscoelastic was not provided.It is unknown if a qualified product was used.The instruction for use (ifu) instructs that a company qualified delivery system and viscoelastic combination should be used.The use of an unqualified combination may cause damage to the lens and potential complications during the implantation process.The manufacturer internal reference number is: (b)(4).
