Additional Manufacturer Narrative
The lens was returned taped to the lens case lid.Viscoelastic was observed on the lens.The lens had been cut into two pieces off center of the optic.A large crack was observed which extended from one optic/haptic junction toward the center.The damage was perpendicular to the travel patch and may indicate a plunger override occurred.The haptic was broken was broken-gusset area, returned.Product history records were reviewed and documentation indicated the product met release criteria.A qualified cartridge was indicated.It is unknown if a qualified handpiece and viscoelastic were used.The root cause for the lens damage could not be determined.A large crack was observed which extended from one optic/haptic junction toward the center.The damage was perpendicular to the travel patch and may indicate a plunger override occurred.The haptic was broken was broken-gusset area, returned.No problem was found with the returned used company cartridge.Is unknown if a qualified handpiece and viscoelastic 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 and/or damage.Important: the plunger should make initial contact with the cartridge at the ramp.In the event the plunger does not contact the cartridge at the ramp, do not use the handpiece and contact company.The handpiece ifu instructs: verify that the plunger tip is properly engaging the lens optic and that the lens moves forward at the same rate as the plunger while slowly advancing the plunger forward to avoid damaging the lens.When the threads on the knob make contact with the barrel, turn the knob clockwise approximately ½ turn to engage the threads and then stop.The iol will now be in the dwell position.Inspect to ensure the plunger is behind the optic.The manufacturer internal reference number is: (b)(4).H.10 reflects all related report numbers associated with this product event that have been submitted at this time.
