The product was not returned.Product history records were reviewed, and the documentation indicated the product met release criteria.Information was provided that a qualified cartridge, handpiece, and viscoelastic were used.The product investigation could not identify a root cause for the reported complaint.The lens remains implanted.The associated cartridge was indicated to not be available for return.The completed questionnaire indicated that it is "unknown which product caused or contributed to the event".The reported issue "may have been caused by the loading forcep".The instruction for use (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 viscosurgical 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.It is unknown if adequate viscoelastic was used in the cartridge.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: follow the section regarding directions for use for information on the maximum allowed time for the iol to stay in the folded condition.Failure to adhere to manufacturer¿s recommendations may result in intraocular lens (iol) damage.Ifu note: during lens loading and insertion, do not allow the company iol to remain in a folded condition within the selected iol delivery system for more than 3 minutes prior to completing insertion into the capsular bag.The questionnaire indicated that the lens remained in the injector for 1-2 minutes prior to implanting.The manufacturer internal reference number is: (b)(4).
