Additional Manufacturer Narrative

The indicated handpiece and viscoelastic were qualified.The cartridge information was not provided.It is unknown if a qualified cartridge was used.No determination can be made without physical examination of the lens or "debris".It cannot be determined if this was lens damage or foreign material.The instructions for use (ifu) instructs: 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.Information stated the lens was not biased down.The ifu instructs: using holding forceps, grasp the lens by the optic edge and gently place the lens anterior side up into the back of the ovd-filled cartridge.The lens should be inserted until the optic is a little more than half-way inside the cartridge.Use the holding forceps to gently push down on the lens, verifying that the lens is on the bottom surface of the cartridge.Failure to follow this step may cause the lens to advance incorrectly causing delivery issues and/or damage.The manufacturer internal reference number is: (b)(4).
