Additional Manufacturer Narrative
The lens was returned positioned incorrectly inside the lens case.The label set was also returned.Viscoelastic was dried on the lens.The optic was semi-folded and placed between the posts and the inner well of the lens case.One haptic was bent in the gusset and distal area with the distal tip adhered to optic anterior surface in dried viscoelastic.The lens was cleaned with keratolytic cleaning reagent for polymers (klrp) for further evaluation.After removal of the dried viscoelastic, the haptics and optic regained their original shape.A linear crack was observed on the posterior surface between the edge and the optic center.Product history records were reviewed, and documentation indicated the product met release criteria.Associated product information was not provided.It is unknown if qualified products were used.The reported scratch was not observed.The optic crack was most likely interpreted as the reported scratch.All lenses are 100 percent inspected for cosmetic attributes and the damage exhibited by the returned complaint sample would not have met company release criteria.Based on our observation, and the review of manufacturing records, it can be reasonably concluded that the damage is not manufacturing related.Due to the presence of surgical solution and the condition of the returned sample, the damage is most likely related to customer handling.The instructions 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.It is unknown if qualified associated products were used.The ifu instructs: company foldable intraocular lenses (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: 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 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.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 is received.The manufacturer internal reference number is: (b)(4).
