Additional information was provided in h.3.,h.6 and h.11.A photo was provided of a monitor screen.A single-piece lens was visible implanted in the eye.What appeared to be a possible scratch was observed near the peripheral edge of the optic near one haptic junction.A determination of cause cannot be made from the provided photo.A qualified lens/cartridge combination was indicated.The handpiece and viscoelastic used were not provided.It is unknown if a qualified handpiece and viscoelastic were used.The ifu (instructions for use) instructs: company foldable iols (intra ocular lens) are qualified for use with an 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 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 handpiece ifu instructs: important: the plunger should make initial contact with the cartridge at the ramp.In the event the plunger does not contact the cartridge at the ramp, do not use the handpiece and contact company.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 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.Verify that the plunger tip is properly engaging the lens optic and that the lens moves forward at the same rate as the plunger while slowly advancing the plunger forward to avoid damaging the lens.When the threads on the knob make contact with the barrel, turn the knob clockwise approximately half turn to engage the threads and then stop.The iol will now be in the dwell position.Inspect to ensure the plunger is behind the optic.Due diligence has been performed in an attempt to obtain further information on this event.The facility has not responded to requests for follow-up information.File will be reopened if new information or the sample is received.The manufacturer internal reference number is: (b)(4).H.10 reflects all related report numbers associated with this product event that have been submitted at this time.
