Additional Manufacturer Narrative
The fully disassembled lens case and a surgical sponge were returned in a plastic bag.A portion of the lens was returned adhered by solution to the non-serialized side of the lens case lid.One haptic was broken from the haptic/optic junction area (not returned).The lens was cut into portions, typical of insertion and removal.The other portion of the lens which contained the other haptic was not returned for evaluation.Product history records were reviewed and documentation indicated the product met release criteria.The file indicated the use of a qualified cartridge and viscoelastic.The associated handpiece was not provided.It is unknown if a qualified product was used.The reported broken haptic was observed.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, 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.It is unknown if a qualified handpiece were used.The instructions for use (ifu) instructs: company foldable intraocular lenses (iols) are qualified for use with company qualified delivery system (handpiece and cartridge) and ophthalmic viscosurgical device (ovd) combination.The ifu instructs that 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.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¿s recommendations may result in iol damage.Ifu note: during lens loading and insertion, do not allow the 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.Not enough information was provided from the reporter to determine if a qualified handpiece was used.File will be reopened if new information is received.The manufacturer internal reference number is: (b)(4).
Event or Problem Description
A non healthcare professional reported that, during intraocular lens implantation surgery, the physician injected the lens without the trailing haptic.Additional information has been received stating that there was no patient harm.
