Event or Problem Description
A non healthcare professional reported during intraocular lens (iol) implant procedure, there was a large gorge in the middle of the lens.Additional information has been requested and received stating that lens was found scratched upon injection and was cut out and removed.
Additional Manufacturer Narrative
The lens was returned in two pieces on the outer rim of the lens case base.A small amount of viscoelastic was observed on the lens.The lens was cleaned with klotho-related protein (klrp).One portion of the optic had a scraped area just off center, posterior.Forcep marks were observed at the optic edge.The forcep marks appeared typical of removal damage.Complaint history and product history records were reviewed and documentation indicated the product met release criteria.Qualified associated products were indicated.The reported scratch was observed.The root cause for the damage could not be determined.This type of damage may occur if inadequate viscoelastic is placed into the cartridge.This type of damage may also occur with a plunger underride.The instructions for use (ifu) instructs to completely fill the cartridge with ophthalmic viscosurgical device (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.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 halfway 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.The ifu instructs: follow the section regarding directions for use for information on the maximum allowed time for the intra ocular lens (iol) to stay in the folded condition.Failure to adhere to manufacturers 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.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 half 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.The manufacturer internal reference number is: (b)(4).
