Event or Problem Description

Additional Manufacturer Narrative
|
|
The lens was returned for evaluation.Solution is dried on the lens.One haptic is broken in the gusset area (not returned).The lens has been cut into two pieces, typical of insertion and removal from the eye.The optic has a small split on the edge.The file indicates the use of a qualified cartridge and handpiece.The file also indicates the use of a non-qualified viscoelastic.Broken haptic damage was observed.The root cause for the reported complaint may be related to a failure to follow the ifu (instructions for use).The viscoelastic indicated is not qualified for the lens/company delivery system 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.We are unable to verify there was an issue with unfolding of the lens.A fold test was unable to be performed due to extensive damage to the lens.The manufacturer internal reference number is: (b)(4).
