Corrected information was provided in d.4.Additional information was provided in h.3., h.6.And h.11.The lens was returned for evaluation.Solution is dried on the lens.One haptic is bent and twisted in the gusset area with the distal tip in the locking mechanism of the lens case.The optic is pressed down into the well of the lens case.The lens was cleaned for further evaluation.A dimensional inspection was performed.The lens dimensions are acceptable (plan view) using an approved template.Product history records were reviewed, and the documentation indicated the product met release criteria.Associated products were not provided.It is unknown if qualified products were used.A bent haptic was observed and may be the reported defect.Information was not provided as to what was defective regarding the lens.The lens was returned placed incorrectly in the case.All lenses are 100 percent inspected for cosmetic attributes and the damage exhibited by the returned complaint sample would not have met company¿s release criteria.Based on our observation, it can be reasonably concluded that the damage is not manufacturing related.Due to the presence of surgical solution and the condition of the returned sample, the damage is most likely related to customer handling.A dimensional inspection was performed.The lens dimensions are acceptable (plan view) using an approved template.Associated products were not provided.It is unknown if qualified products were used.Company foldable intraocular lenses (iols) are qualified for use with a company qualified delivery system (handpiece and cartridge) and ophthalmic viscosurgical device (ovd) combination.The instructions for use (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: 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.The reporter has not responded to request for follow-up information.File will be reopened if new information or the sample is received.The manufacturer internal reference number is: (b)(4).
