Additional Manufacturer Narrative
The product was returned for analysis and the reported damage was observed.Iol returned in replacement lens case positioned incorrectly in the lens case well.Substantial amount of solution is dried on the iol.The optic is torn/split-cut dividing the iol in two segments adhered to each other.The reported scratch cannot be confirmed due to condition of the returned sample.The sample was cleaned for further evaluation.One haptic is intact, the other haptic is scratched/marked-rejectable.The optic is scratched/marked-rejectable.Received photo shows an implanted iol on a monitor screen.There appears to be lines/marks on the optic.The product investigation could not identify a root cause for the reported complaint.Only iol was received for investigation.No cartridge or handpiece was returned.The ifu (instructions for use) instructs to completely fill the cartridge with ovd immediately prior to loading and delivery of the lens.Do not attempt to load the lens without adequate ovd in the device.Not adequately filling the device with viscoelastic will result in inadequate coverage of lens and the lens fold path with ovd, which may result in damage.Use the company cartridge at operating room temperatures between 18° c (64° f) and 23° c (73° f).If the operating room temperature is too low (< 18°c / 64°f) lens folding and advancement are more difficult.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.Based on the results from the product history record, the products met release criteria.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.
