Additional information provided in d.9., h.3., h.6.And h.10.The lens was not returned.A lens case base was returned with information that the particle was adhered to it.The lens case and the bag it was in were sent to the particle lab.Lab results: the sample was visually and microscopically examined.A foreign material was observed on the rim of the lens case.A loose fiber was also found in the bag the case was returned in.No material that matched the description of a ¿filament¿ was found.A clear material was observed on the returned lens case and a fiber was found in the bag.The clear material on the lens case and the fiber from the bag were isolated and isolated and analyzed using microscopic fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (micro ft-ir).The clear material on the lens case yielded no good matches.Comparison of the fiber's generated spectra to a library of spectra found the best match to be texwipe fibers (natural fibers).The clear material on the lens was then isolated and analyzed using the hitachi scanning electron microscope (sem) equipped with an edax energy dispersive x-ray spectrometer (eds).The eds of the sample identified sodium (na), chlorine (cl) and potassium (k).These elements along with the visual characteristics suggest the material is dried salt.Possibly from dried bss.The returned used company cartridge was evaluated.Inadequate viscoelastic was observed in the cartridge.No cartridge damage was observed.The cartridge had evidenced of placement into a handpiece.The used company cartridge was cleaned for further evaluation.Top coat dye stain testing was conducted with acceptable results.The returned cartridge is qualified with the reported lens model/diopter.The handpiece and viscoelastic used were not provide it is unknown if qualified products were used.The root cause for the reported foreign material could not be determined.The lens was not returned.The returned lens case and bag were evaluated.No material that matched the description of a ¿filament¿ was found.The fiber from the bag was analyzed using microscopic fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (micro ft-ir).Comparison of the fibers generated spectra to a library of spectra found the best match to be texwipe fibers (natural fibers).The manufacturer internal reference number is: (b)(4).
