Event or Problem Description
A facility representative reported that during an intraocular lens (iol) implant procedure, it was noted that the lens was stuck in the incision.Additional information has been requested.
Additional Manufacturer Narrative
The lens was returned for evaluation.Solution is dried on the lens.One haptic is broken in the gusset area and returned adhered to the optic by solution.The lens is pressed against a post in the lens case at the opposite gusset area causing the haptic to twist and point down into a drain hole of the lens case.Scratches are observed near the edge of the anterior surface of the optic near the broken haptic.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.We are unable to verify the reported issue of the lens stuck in the incision.Lens damage was observed.Company foldable intraocular lenses (iols) are qualified for use with a company qualified delivery system (handpiece and cartridge) and ophthalmic viscosurgical device (ovd) combination.The instructions for use (ifu) instructs that a 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.Company model ifu: follow the section regarding directions for use for information on the maximum allowed time for the iol 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.Due diligence has been performed in an attempt to obtain further information on this event.The reporter has not responded to request for follow-up information.File will be reopened if new information or the sample is received.The manufacturer internal reference number is: (b)(4).
