Additional information: section d9 - device available for evaluation? yes.Section d9 - date returned to manufacturer: august 11, 2023.Section h3 - device evaluated by manufacturer? yes.Device evaluation: the intraocular lens (iol) was not returned for evaluation as it remains implanted.The complaint alleged foreign material was received inside of a bag.The complaint smartload and the smartload tray were also received.The smartload was inspected for additional foreign material and none was identified.The alleged foreign material was sent for fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (ftir) testing.The sample could not be identified via ftir; therefore energy-dispersive x-ray spectroscopy (edx) was performed, which revealed the sample is a titanium alloy consistent with ti6alv4.Due to ftir being unable to be performed on the foreign material sample, no ftir spectrum could be obtained to be run against the manufacturing process to identify potential sources of the foreign material.The complaint issue of foreign material - loose was identified during product evaluation; however, based on the complaint investigation results the complaint issue could not be confirmed to be related to the manufacturing or design process.Conclusion: as a result of the investigation, there is no indication of a product quality deficiency.All pertinent information available to johnson and johnson surgical vision, inc.Has been submitted.
