The device with the lens was returned.The plunger is oriented correctly.Viscoelastic is observed in the device.The plunger is at the trailing optic edge.The lens is advanced to mid-nozzle.The trailing haptic is folded in on the optic.The leading haptic is extended.No problems are observed with the returned device.The plunger, lens and haptic positions are acceptable.The leading haptic was straight.Straight leading haptics are not a product malfunction.This is an acceptable position per the diagrams provided in the dfu (directions for use).A non-qualified viscoelastic was indicated a straight leading haptic may occur: ¿ due to the normal folding variations as indicated in the dfu diagrams.¿ if the initial plunger advancement is faster than the recommended target, the leading haptic may be forced past the internal folding feature.¿ if there is excessive delay between the device preparation and subsequent delivery the leading haptic may start to unfold.The manufacturer internal reference number is: (b)(4).
Additional Manufacturer Narrative
A non-qualified viscoelastic was indicated.The root cause may be related to a failure to follow the ifu (instructions for use).A non-qualified viscoelastic was used in the device.The ifu instructs: during device preparation and implantation of the company iq 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.Lens may become stuck in the device: ¿ if inadequate viscoelastic is placed in the device this will cause inadequate coverage of the lens fold path which may cause the lens to become ¿stuck¿ in the device ¿ 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 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.The product has not been received to evaluate.File will be reopened when product is received.The manufacturer internal reference number is: (b)(4).
