Additional Manufacturer Narrative

The lens was returned on a triangular piece of medical sponge inside a plastic bag.Solution was dried on the lens.The optic was cut into two pieces.Each optic portion contained a full, undamaged haptic.The optic anterior surface had small cracked areas and scratches near the center.Information was provided that indicated the use of a qualified cartridge.A non-qualified handpiece and a non-qualified viscoelastic were indicated.The root cause cannot be determined for the reported complaint.The explanted lens was returned in pieces, typical of damage created to remove a lens from the eye.Each lens was subjected to a 100% assessment of the power and optical resolution during the manufacturing process in order to determine acceptability per the lens model and diopter.The power and resolution of the returned lens could not be re-evaluated due to the optic damage.The returned lens was scratched and cracked.A failure to follow the instructions for use (ifu) also occurred.A non-qualified handpiece and viscoelastic was indicated.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.Company recommends using the qualified company iol delivery system or any other company qualified combination.The company lens was removed and replaced with a non-company lens.(the reported replacement lens model ending letter is a possible typographical error because that is an invalid model; however dxxroov is a valid model.Therefore, it is logical that the replacement lens was a dxxroov lens model.) the exchange of the non-toric lens to a non-company lens that is one half diopter higher in power may suggest that the replacement lens was an improved selection for this patient's vision needs.The manufacturer internal reference number is: (b)(4).
