The product was not returned.Product history records were reviewed and the documentation indicated the product met release criteria.Information was provided that indicated the use of a qualified cartridge and qualified handpiece.A non-qualified viscoelastic was indicated.The product investigation could not identify a root cause for the reported complaint.The file indicated that the lens was not returning.It cannot be confirmed based on the provided information if the reported complaint was a foreign material or potentially lens damage interpreted as a "smudge on the lens".A failure to follow the ifu (instructions for use) occurred with the use of a non-qualified viscoelastic.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 company ( 1.50 cyl.) 19.5 diopter (add power +2.2/+3.2 diopter) lens was removed and replaced with another company ( 1.50 cyl.) 19.5 diopter (add power +2.2/+3.2 diopter) lens.The manufacturer internal reference number is: (b)(4).
