Additional Manufacturer Narrative
|
|
The product was not returned.Product history records were reviewed and the documentation indicated the product met release criteria.The account indicated the use of qualified associated products.The product investigation could not identify a root cause for the reported complaint.Information was provided that the company 19.0 diopter lens was replaced with a same model company 19.5 diopter lens due to the distal haptic breaking after implantation.The ifu (instructions for use) instructs to completely fill the cartridge with ovd (ophthalmic viscoelastic device) 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.Due diligence has been performed in an attempt to obtain further information on this event.File will be reopened if new information or the sample is received.The manufacturer internal reference number is: (b)(4).
