Additional Manufacturer Narrative

The lens was returned adhered to the outside of the lens case base.Viscoelastic was observed on the lens.Two light scratches were observed in the center of the anterior surface.No other damage was observed.A qualified cartridge and viscoelastic were used.It is unknown if a qualified handpiece was used.The lens has two light scratches on the anterior surface.All lenses are 100% inspected for cosmetic attributes and the damage exhibited by the returned complaint sample would not have met company release criteria.Based on our observation, it can be reasonably concluded that the damage is not manufacturing related.Due to the presence of surgical solution and the condition of the returned sample, the damage is most likely related to customer handling.Damage to the anterior surface is typically caused by loading forceps or a plunger override.If the lens is loaded per the instructions for use (ifu), the anterior surface does not contact the cartridge lumen.+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 ophthalmic viscoelastic device (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 manufacturer internal reference number is: (b)(4).
