On initial mdr the product code of 2944 was an error.It should have been 3020 on the original mdr.The product was not returned.Photos were provided.The slit lamp photos appeared to show lines/marks in the center of the lens.Unable to determine if these were scratches.The nature and origin of these marks could not be determined from the photos.Associated products were not provided.It is unknown if qualified associated products were used.The product investigation could not identify a root cause for the reported complaint.The product was not returned.Photos were provided.The slit lamp photos appeared to show lines/marks in the center of the lens.The nature and origin of these marks could not be determined from the photos.The issue was indicted to be on the anterior surface.Damage to the anterior surface may occur during loading.If properly loaded, the anterior surface of the lens does not contact the inner lumen of the cartridge.It is unknown if qualified associated products were used.The ifu instructs: company foldable iols are qualified for use with company qualified delivery system (handpiece and cartridge) and ophthalmic viscosurgical device (ovd) combination.The instructions for use (ifu) instructs that 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 instructs: the ifu 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).
