Additional Manufacturer Narrative

The product was not returned.Product history records were reviewed and the documentation indicated the product met release criteria.The file indicates the use of a qualified cartridge and handpiece.The file also indicates the use of a non-qualified viscoelastic.The root cause for the reported complaint of the cracked iol (intraocular lens) may be related to a failure to follow the ifu (instructions for use).The viscoelastic indicated is not qualified for the lens/company cartridge combination used.The ifu (instructions fir sue) 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 determine the root cause for the vision issues.Each lens is subjected to a 100% assessment of the power (spherical and cylinder) and optical resolution during the manufacturing process in order to determine acceptability per the lens model and diopter.A photo of an eye was attached to the file.Due to the glare of the photo the reported crack could not be observed.There have been no other complaints reported in the lot number.The manufacturer internal reference number is: (b)(4).
