At this time, the lens has not been received.Thus a proper device analysis could not be completed nor the reported issue confirmed.No damaged was noted during preparation for use.The customer stated they checked the iol for defects prior to insertion.Thus, indicating a product quality issue did not contribute to the reported issues.It was also stated that the customer, is using the yamane technique to implant the lenses.This technique induces a larger amount of force while trying to position the haptics in the scleral tunnel.Our lenses are intended to be implanted in the capsular bag.Thus, the lens was being used off- label.Based on the information provided, the risk assessment for the lucia product and based on our experience and other complaints that have already been resolved we have determined that the following factor may have cause or contributed to the iol tilting is but is not limited to: · loading strategy, · lens placement technique, · accessory device support, · poor handling during folding and inserting.Risk assessment has been reviewed within the technical file for hydrophobic lens.Risk assessment identifies damage of iol optic and/or haptic to potentially because by use of inappropriate surgical instrument or improper handling or improper implantation technique.This is seen as a reasonably foreseeable misuse that may result in additional surgery because of impaired vision; and potential iol explantation.This is considered as a serious severity of damage that may result in injury or disability which requires surgical intervention.The likelihood of occurrence is estimated to be occasional.The resulting risk is deemed acceptable.The device history records were reviewed and there were no non-conformities or deviations noted during the manufacturing of the lens that would have caused or contributed to the nature of this complaint.Additionally, our lenses are 100% inspected before they leave our manufacturing site.Therefore, we are confident that the lens was processed per standard operating procedures and inspections and met all criteria for release.
