Additional information provided in d.9., h.3., h.6.And h.11.Iol returned in lens case.Solution is dried on both surfaces of the optic and haptics.Both haptics are bent/deformed, one haptic has a mark near the tip.The optic edge is damaged and there is a crack or fracture near the center of the optic.There is foreign material on the optic surface.No cartridge returned.Provided photo appears to show an implanted iol.There appears to be a line or crack in the center of the optic.There also appears to be material around the crack, this material could potentially be optic surface damage.The clear material was isolated and analysed using microscopic fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (micro ft-ir).Comparison of the clear materials generated ir spectra to a library of spectra finds the best match to be polypropylene (ft-ir spectra 1).We are unable to determine the root cause for the reported complaint "crack and foreign material were found on lens optic".The product was subject to handling and the reported damage was highlighted after "insertion".The reported complaint is lacking in relevant information such as associated products (cartridge, handpiece, viscoelastic) used to complete a thorough investigation.The foreign material was sent to ftw lab for further evaluation.Based on the spectral comparison results, the best match was found to be polypropylene.Polypropylene is a commonly used material, including in many medical products/environments.The origin of the material could not be determined.In addition to this, all iols are 100 percent cosmetically inspected as per approved manufacturing procedures and the observed lens damage would not meet our current release criteria.Based on the results from the product history record, the products met release criteria.The manufacturer internal reference number is: (b)(4).
