Additional Manufacturer Narrative
|
|
The product was not returned.Product history records were reviewed and the documentation indicated the product met release criteria.The account indicated the use of a qualified associated cartridge and handpiece with a non-qualified viscoelastic.The root cause for the reported complaint may be related to a failure to follow the ifu (instructions for use).The viscoelastic indicated is not qualified for the lens/company cartridge combination used.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: 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.No further information has been provided at this time.File will be reopened when new information or the product is received.The manufacturer internal reference number is: (b)(4).
