Additional Manufacturer Narrative
The lens was not returned.Information indicated the lens remains implanted.Product history records were reviewed and documentation indicated the product met release criteria.A qualified cartridge was indicated with a non-qualified viscoelastic.It is unknown if a qualified handpiece was used.The lens damage could not be verified.The lens remains implanted.Based on the returned cartridge evaluation ((b)(4)) the toot cause for the reported damage may be related to a failure to follow the instruction for use (ifu).Inadequate viscoelastic was observed in the returned, used cartridge.The cartridge tip had heavy stress, which may indicate the lens/plunger were not in acceptable positions for advancement.Stress is an expected occurrence but may be more pronounced with inadequate ovd and/or if the lens or plunger are not positioned correctly.In addition, a non-qualified viscoelastic was indicated.It is unknown if a qualified handpiece was used.The ifu instructs to completely fill the cartridge with ophthalmic viscoelastic device (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 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.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.Using holding forceps, take the trailing haptic, and gently fold the haptic onto the anterior side of the optic.Slowly grip or push the optic edge to position the lens as far into the cartridge as the forceps will permit, while ensuring the lens remains on the bottom surface of the cartridge and the trailing haptic remains on the optic.The handpiece ifu instructs: verify that the plunger tip is properly engaging the lens optic and that the lens moves forward at the same rate as the plunger while slowly advancing the plunger forward to avoid damaging the lens.When the threads on the knob make contact with the barrel, turn the knob clockwise approximately ½ turn to engage the threads and then stop.The iol will now be in the dwell position.Inspect to ensure the plunger is behind the optic.Failure to follow these steps may cause the lens to advance incorrectly causing delivery issues and/or damage.The manufacturer internal reference number is: (b)(4).
