Event or Problem Description
A facility representative reported that during an intraocular lens (iol) implant procedure, after injecting the lens into the eye, the surgeon observed haptic was broken.The lens was removed and replaced during the initial procedure.There was no patient harm.Additional information was requested.
Additional Manufacturer Narrative
Additional information was provided in d.9.,h.3., h.6.And h.11.The lens was returned for evaluation.Solution and blood are dried on the lens.One haptic is broken in the gusset area (not returned).The opposite haptic is folded over and adhered to the anterior surface of the optic.The optic remains folded in half.Product history records were reviewed and the documentation indicated the product met release criteria.Qualified associated products were indicated.Broken haptic damage was observed.All lenses are 100% inspected for cosmetic attributes and the damage exhibited by the returned complaint sample would not have met alcon¿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.The ifu (instructions for use) 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 (ophthalmic viscosurgical device)-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.Company ifu: follow the section regarding directions for use for information on the maximum allowed time for the iol (intraocular lens) 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).
