Event or Problem Description
A healthcare professional reported that, during intraocular lens implantation surgery, the haptic was broken in the cartridge and hence the lens was removed during the same procedure by enlarging the incision.Additional information was received stating that the procedure was completed using another lens.
Additional Manufacturer Narrative
Additional information was provided in d.9., h.3., h.6.And h.11.The lens was returned posterior surface up in the lens case.A small amount of solution was dried on both side of the lens.One haptic was pulled from the optic, not returned.The optic was split in the haptic insertion area (edge view).Product history records were reviewed and the documentation indicated the product met release criteria.Associated products were not provided.It is unknown if qualified products were used.The company lens is only qualified for use in the company cartridges.The lens was returned.One haptic was pulled from the optic.This may have been interpreted as the reported broken haptic.The haptic was not returned.All lenses are 100 percent 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.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: company foldable intra ocular lenses (iol)s are qualified for use with 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 ophthalmic visosurgical deice (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.Due diligence has been performed in an attempt to obtain further information on this event.The reporter has not responded to requests for follow-up information.File will be reopened if new information or the sample is received.The manufacturer internal reference number is: (b)(4).
