A nurse reported that, on (b)(6) 2023, a company lens, which was implanted into the patient's eye, was found to have an iol crack.However, it was determined that the crack, being off-center, would not affect the patient's vision, so the surgery was concluded.However, during the postoperative follow-up, it was judged that the patient's vision was affected, leading to an exchange with a different diopter but same model company lens on (b)(6).Additional information has been requested.

Additional Manufacturer Narrative

Additional information has been provided in d.10., h.3., h.6., and h.11.The product was not returned.Product history records were reviewed and documentation indicated the product met release criteria.A qualified cartridge and handpiece were indicated.Other was indicated for the viscoelastic, which would indicate a non-qualified non-company viscoelastic.The product was not returned.The root cause may be related to the use of a non-qualified viscoelastic.The ifu instructs: company foldable iols are qualified for use with a company qualified delivery system (handpiece and cartridge) and ophthalmic viscosurgical device (ovd) combination.The ifu instructs that a 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.The file will be reopened if new information or the sample is received.The manufacturer internal reference number is: (b)(4).
