Additional Manufacturer Narrative

The product was not returned.Product history records were reviewed and the documentation indicated the product met release criteria.Viscoelastic information 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.It is unknown if a qualified viscoelastic was used.The ifu instructs: during device preparation and implantation of the iol 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.Plunger override may occur: ¿ due to rapid advancement faster than the ifu recommend rate.¿ 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 or become ¿stuck¿ in the device allowing the plunger to override the lens.¿ if the device is overfilled with ovd, this can prevent the trailing haptic from being placed properly or move the lens out of position resulting in misfolding.¿ if the operating room temperature is too high (> 23 degree c / 73 degree f) lens folding consistency is negatively affected, the lens is more adherent and this may inhibit lens advancement.Any of the above listed causes alone, or in combination, may create the reported event.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).
