The product was not returned.A photo was provided of the opened lens case (lid and base).Half of a single-piece natural lens was on the outside rim of the lens case base.The lens was cut across the center typical of an explant.Viscoelastic was observed on the lens portion.The two reported central marks could not be discerned in the photo.Product history records were reviewed and documentation indicated the product met release criteria.Qualified associated products were indicated.The product investigation could not identify a root cause for the reported complaint.The product was not returned.A photo was provided of the opened lens case (lid and base).Half of a single-piece natural lens was on the outside rim of the lens case base.The lens was cut across the center typical of an explant.Viscoelastic was observed on the lens portion.The two reported central marks could not be discerned in the photo.The instructions for use (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 ophthalmic viscosurgical devices (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.Failure to follow these steps may cause the lens to advance incorrectly causing delivery issues and/or damage.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).
