Additional Manufacturer Narrative

The product was not returned.Product history records were reviewed and documentation indicated the product met release criteria.A qualified cartridge and viscoelastic were indicated with an unidentified handpiece.The product investigation could not identify a root cause for the reported edema and lens damage "stripes on lens".The product was not returned.It is unknown if a qualified handpiece was used.The instructions for use (ifu) instructs: company foldable intra ocular lens (iol) 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 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 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.Failure to follow these steps may cause the lens to advance incorrectly causing delivery issues and/or damage.Information was provided that the lens was replaced with an unspecified company model lens with no issue reported.The manufacturer internal reference number is: (b)(4).
