Additional Manufacturer Narrative

The product was not returned.A photo was provided.The lens carton displaying the product information was held in an ungloved hand along with a small clear specimen jar.A yellow lens model was observed submerged in clear liquid inside the jar.No determination can be made from this photo regarding the optical area.Product history records were reviewed, and the documentation indicated the product met release criteria.A qualified cartridge, handpiece, and viscoelastic combination was used.The product investigation could not identify a root cause for the reported complaint.Based on the photo provided, a yellow lens model was observed submerged in clear liquid inside the jar.No determination can be made from this photo regarding the optical area.The product was not returned.It is difficult to make a final determination without evaluation of the physical sample.The root cause cannot be determined based on available information.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.File will be reopened if new information or the sample is received.The manufacturer internal reference number is: (b)(4).
