Additional Manufacturer Narrative
Additional information was provided in d.3.,d.4.,d.9.,h.3.,h.6 and h.11.The lens was returned for evaluation.Solution is dried on the lens.One haptic is scratched on the anterior surface near the edge of the gusset area.The lens edge is split in multiple areas near the damaged haptic.The optic is split and cracked.The file indicates the use of a qualified cartridge and handpiece with a nonqualified viscoelastic.Lens damage was observed.The root cause for the reported complaint may be related to a failure to follow the instruction for use (ifu).The viscoelastic indicated is not qualified for the lens or monarch combination used.Company foldable intra ocular lens (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 and or damage.The manufacturer internal reference number is: (b)(4).
