Additional information provided in h.6.And h.11.The account provided a photo of the lens in the eye.One haptic appears to be broken near the gusset area.The broken portion can be seen in anterior surface of the lens.The optic has three areas near the broken haptic which appear to be cracks.This damage may indicated a plunger override occurred.Product history records were reviewed and the documentation indicated the product met release criteria.Associated products were not provided.It is unknown if qualified products were used.Based on our observation of the attached photo the haptic is broken.The product has not been received to evaluate.It is difficult to make a final determination without evaluation of the physical sample.The root cause cannot be determined based on available information.Associated products were not provided.It is unknown if qualified products were used.The ifu (instructions for use) instructs: company foldable iols 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: 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 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 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 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).
