Additional information provided in d.9., h.3., h.6.And h.11.The lens was returned for evaluation.Solution is dried on the lens.One haptic is broken in the distal area with the tip adhered to the bottom of the lens case lid.The opposite haptic is twisted and pressed down into the well of the lens case.The optic is pressed against and between two posts in the lens case.The other side of the optic is pressed down into the well of the lens case.Scratches are observed in the center of the optic on the anterior surface.Product history records were reviewed and the documentation indicated the product met release criteria.Qualified associated products were indicated.The reported lens damage 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, it can be reasonably concluded that the damage is not manufacturing related.We could not verify the reported event that the injector wet under the lens when trying to advance.Due to the presence of surgical solution and the condition of the returned sample, the damage is most likely related to customer handling.The instructions for use (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 ophthalmic viscosurgical device (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.File will be reopened if new information is received.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.
