Additional Manufacturer Narrative

The product was returned for analysis and the reported complaint was observed.Iol returned pressed against one post of the lens case base resulting in deformation of the iol.Both haptics are bent.The optic has two fractures/cracks in the center of the optic.Damage was observed to the lens.Multiple cartridges were returned for evaluation - used and unused.The two used cartridges showed insufficient amount of ovd used.Nozzle tip damage was also observed on both used cartridges.Based on the evaluation on the used cartridges, the most likely root cause may be related to failure to follow the instruction for use (ifu).Inadequate viscoelastic was observed in the device.Ifu instructs:" completely fill the cartridge with ovd, immediately prior to loading and delivery of the lens.Do not attempt to load the lens without adequate ovd in the device".In addition to this, damage was observed to the tip of the nozzle.The observed damage typically occurs if there is a lack of viscoelastic between the lens and the cartridge lumen and/or if the plunger is not positioned correctly at the trailing optic edge for advancement.This can allow the lens to fold around the plunger tip making it too large to correctly advance through the narrow tip of the nozzle causing damage.The manufacturer internal reference number is: (b)(4).
