Event or Problem Description
A health care professional reported that during cataract surgery with intraocular lens (iol) implantation, a huge split down the middle of the lens was noticed upon insertion.The lens had to be cut out and removed in an initial procedure and a backup lens was put in.According to the additional information received, there was no patient harm.
Additional Manufacturer Narrative
The lens was returned inside the base of the disassembled lens case inside the carton along with the lens case lid.Viscoelastic and blood were dried on the lens.The haptics were bent in the gusset area upon return.The optic has a large wedge shaped area that has been cut and returned inside the well area of the lens case.This optic damage would be common for an insertion and removal.This cut optic portion has split damage that begins at the optic edge and travels inward.Product history records were reviewed and documentation indicated the product met release criteria.A qualified cartridge and handpiece were used with a non-qualified viscoelastic.The reported lens damage was observed.The root cause may be related to a failure to follow the ifu.A non-qualified viscoelastic was indicated.The ifu instructs: company foldable iols are qualified for use with a company qualified delivery system (handpiece and cartridge) and ophthalmic viscosurgical device (ovd) combination.The ifu instructs that an 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.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 iol damage.Ifu note: during lens loading and insertion, do not allow the 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 manufacturer internal reference number is: (b)(4).
