Additional Manufacturer Narrative
|
|
Additional information was provided in b.5., d.9., d.10., h.3., h.6.And h.11.The lens was returned submerged in clear solution inside a plastic syringe.The lens was removed.One haptic was broken in the gusset area.The broken haptic portion was not returned.The optic was broken (or cut) into two pieces.The optic posterior was scratched.Product history records were reviewed, and the documentation indicated the product met release criteria.A qualified cartridge and handpiece were indicated with a non-qualified viscoelastic.The reported complaint was for optic scratch when opening, and the optic was torn when tapping down".The file indicated associated products were used.It is not possible to determine if the reported observed scratch was present upon customer receipt.Based on the condition of the returned sample, and the information provided of associated products, the root cause cannot be determined for the reported "scratch when opening".The root cause for the reported "optic was torn when tapping down" may be related to a failure to follow the instructions for use (ifu).A noncompany ovd 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 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.File will be reopened if new information is received.The manufacturer internal reference number is: (b)(4).
