Additional information: section d9: device available for evaluation? yes.Section d9: date returned to manufacturer: jan 04, 2023.Section h3: evaluated by manufacturer: yes.Device evaluation: visual inspection of the complaint lens revealed that it was received coated in a film, consistent with viscoelastic residue, and cut in half.Due to the presence of viscoelastic residue, it was difficult to identify the described film.Based on the customer description, the film on the lens was tested.The lens was sent to eag for fourier transform infrared (ftir) inspection.Per eag laboratories, the foreign substance tested is consistent with sodium hyaluronate (ophthalmic viscosurgical device (ovd)).The ftir spectrum raw data output file generated by eag laboratories was then compared against the añasco manufacturing process ftir library no results with at least a 0.90000 correlation.The top hit was ¿ovd evap¿ with a 0.888549 correlation.No additional matches were identified.No escalations are required due to ovd being used during the delivery.The complaint issue "dc-foreign material - loose" was not confirmed.The other observed issue found during the product evaluation could not be confirmed to be related to a manufacturing or design issue.Therefore, there is no indication of a product deficiency or product malfunction.Conclusion: as a result of the investigation there is no indication of a product quality deficiency, and the reported issue could not be verified.Corrected data: upon further review it was noted that "g4" field which should have been populated with "no" was inadvertently left blank on the initial mdr; therefore, the information has been corrected in this supplemental mdr report and the following fields have been updated accordingly: section g4: combination product: no.All pertinent information available to johnson & johnson surgical vision, inc.Has been submitted.
