Additional Manufacturer Narrative

Additional information was provided in a.1, a.2, d.9, h.3, h.6 and h.10.The lens was returned for evaluation.Solution is dried on the lens.The lens is cut in half, typical of insertion and removal from the eye.A crack is observed near the center of the optic which may be interpreted as the reported blemish on the lens.Product history records were reviewed and the documentation indicated the product met release criteria.Associated products were not provided.It is unknown if qualified products were used.Lens damage was observed.All lenses are 100% inspected for cosmetic attributes and the damage exhibited by the returned complaint sample would not have met company's release criteria.Based on our observation, it can be reasonably concluded that the damage is not manufacturing related.Due to the presence of surgical solution and the condition of the returned sample, the damage is most likely related to customer handling.Follow up attempts were made.At this point, no further information available at this time.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).
