The lens was not returned in a cartridge as described.The lens was returned positioned incorrectly in the lens case (wagon wheel).Solution was dried on the lens.One haptic was bent in the gusset and distal area.The other haptic was broken from the gusset area (returned).The optic was torn/split/cracked with multiple large portions of optic lens material missing (not returned).The associated cartridge was not returned for evaluation.The file indicated the use of a qualified associated cartridge and handpiece.The viscoelastic indicated is not qualified for the product combination used.The root cause for the reported complaint appears to be related to failure to follow the instruction for use (ifu).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).
