Additional Manufacturer Narrative

The product was returned for analysis and the reported damage was observed.Intraocular lens (iol) returned positioned incorrectly in the iol case.Solution is dried on both surfaces of the optic and haptics.One haptic is broken/torn and is adhered to the optic surface with solution, the other haptic is returned.The optic is torn/split-cut and scratched/marked-rejectable.The reporter states the use of "hanita" and viscoshield" as viscoelastic, which are not qualified to be used with the associated iol model.Photo review: photo provided shows an implanted iol.There appears to be a large crack/mark on the optic area of the lens.While we are unable to determine the origin of the reported complaint, our observations reasonably suggest that it is not manufacturing related.The product was subject to handling and the reported damage was highlighted post implantation.Based on the information provided by the customer, the most likely root cause is failure to follow instructions for use (ifu), as the surgeon states the use of non-qualified combination.The use of an unqualified combination may cause damage to the iol and potential complications during the implantation process.The sterilisation reports were reviewed and there were no issues with the sterilisation process.Based on the results from the product history record, the products met release criteria.The manufacturer internal reference number is: (b)(4).
