Additional Manufacturer Narrative

The lens was returned posterior surface up instead of anterior in the lens case.Viscoelastic was observed on the lens.The lens was cleaned with klrp (klotho-related protein klrp).The optic had a large crack toward the center (posterior).This was not in the fold path and may indicate a plunger override occurred.Another small crack was observed at the optic/haptic junction (anterior).There is also a scrape mark at the gusset area (anterior).A small crack was also observed to the right of the center crack (anterior).This small crack is similar to damage caused by an instrument used to grasp the lens.The anterior damage may have occurred during the lens removal.A qualified cartridge and viscoelastic were indicated.The handpiece model was not provided.It is unknown if a qualified product was used.The lens had a central crack, which may have been interpreted as the reported scratch.The root cause for the damage cannot be determined.The damage was similar to damage that may occur due to a plunger override/underride.Other damage was observed on the anterior surface, but it cannot be determined if it occurred due to the delivery or the lens removal.The handpiece model was not provided.It is unknown if a qualified product was used.Company foldable iols are qualified for use with an company qualified delivery system (handpiece and cartridge) and ophthalmic viscosurgical device (ovd) combination.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 ifu also instructs to completely fill the cartridge with ovd immediately prior to loading and delivery of the lens.Do not attempt to load the lens without adequate ovd in the device.Not adequately filling the device with viscoelastic will result in inadequate coverage of lens and the lens fold path with ovd, which may result in damage.The manufacturer internal reference number is: (b)(4).
