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 viscoelastic with an unspecified handpiece.It is unknown if a qualified handpiece was used.The product investigation could not identify a root cause for the reported complaint of "jammed in the cartridge".The product has not been received to evaluate.The account indicated the use of a qualified associated cartridge and viscoelastic with an unspecified handpiece.It is unknown if a qualified handpiece was used.The ifu(instructions for use) 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.Failure to follow these steps may cause the lens to advance incorrectly causing delivery issues and/or 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: 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 account indicated the lens was in the injector for three to five minutes before delivery.The ifu instructs: follow the section regarding directions for use for information on the maximum allowed time for the iol to stay in the folded condition.Failure to adhere to manufacturer¿s recommendations may result in iol damage.Ifu note: during lens loading and insertion, do not allow the company iol to remain in a folded condition within the selected iol delivery system for more than 3 minutes prior to completing insertion into the capsular bag.Follow up attempts were made.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).
