The product was not returned.Product history records were reviewed and documentation indicated the product met release criteria.Viscoelastic was not provided.It is unknown if a qualified viscoelastic was used.The product investigation could not identify a root cause for the reported complaint.The product was not returned.The specific issue was not provided.It is unknown if a qualified viscoelastic was used.The ifu (instructions for use) instructs: during device preparation and implantation of the company iol (intra ocular lens) with the preloaded delivery system, an company qualified ophthalmic viscoelastic device (ovd) should be used.The use of an unqualified ovd may cause damage to the lens and potential complications during the device preparation and implantation steps.The ifu instructs: fully insert the ovd cannula, perpendicular to the device, through the viscoelastic port, located in the lens stop portion of the device.Fill the device until ovd can be observed flowing to the fill-to line on the nozzle tip.This will require approximately 0.2 ml of ovd.Only use an company ovd qualified for use with the company pre-loaded delivery system that has been allowed to come to the operating room temperature.If inadequate viscoelastic is placed in the device this will cause inadequate coverage of the lens fold path which may cause the lens to advance incorrectly.In the follow up details, it was indicated that the purchasing manager suspected the damaged lens was discarded the day of the surgery.A confirmation was not provided.Due diligence has been performed in an attempt to obtain further information on this event.The facility has not responded to requests for follow-up information.File will be reopened if new information or the sample is received.The manufacturer internal reference number is: (b)(4).
