The lens was returned for evaluation.Solution is dried on the lens.The lens was returned in six pieces.One haptic is broken in the gusset area with the haptic returned.The opposite haptic is broken in the distal area (not returned).The lens was cleaned with klrp for further evaluation.Marks are observed on both sides of the optic that are similar to those left by a surgical instrument used to grasp the lens.Small cracks are observed on the lens.Product history records were reviewed and the documentation indicated the product met release criteria.Qualified associated products were indicated.Lens damage was observed.The observed cracks could be interpreted as the reported scratch.All lenses are 100% inspected for cosmetic attributes and the damage exhibited by the returned complaint sample would not have met company¿s release criteria.Based on our observation, 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.Qualified associated products were indicated.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.Lens ifu: follow the section regarding directions for use for information on the maximum allowed time for the intra ocular lens (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.The manufacturer internal reference number is: (b)(4).
