Only a portion of the optic was returned for evaluation in the lens case.Solution was dried on the returned optic portion.The optic was cut and has multiple small cracks protruding from the cut damaged area.The observed damage is typical of insertion and removal.The file indicated the use of a qualified cartridge and handpiece.The file indicated the use of three viscoelastics.Two are qualified for the lens/cartridge combination used.The other viscoelastic is not qualified for the lens/cartridge combination used.The root cause for the reported complaint appears to be related to failure to follow the ifu (instructions for use).The file indicated the use of a viscoelastic that is not qualified for the product combination used.The ifu instructs that an 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).
