Additional Manufacturer Narrative

The product was not returned.Photos were provided; however, the lens was not shown in the photos.Product history records were reviewed and the documentation indicated the product met release criteria.Associated product information was not provided.It is unknown if qualified associated products were used.The product investigation could not identify a root cause for the reported complaint.The product was not returned.It is unknown if qualified associated products were used.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: 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 company lens 19.0 diopter (add power +2.2/+3.2 diopter) did not unfold in the bag.The doctor had to explant and use his back-up 18.5 diopter lens.However, the replacement lens' trailing haptic was broken upon implantation which caused the doctor to use another backup lens from his clinic.The final replacement lens information was not provided.If additional information becomes available, the file will be reopened and updated.The manufacturer internal reference number is: (b)(4).
