Additional information was provided in h3, h6 and h11.The lens was returned for evaluation.Solution is dried on the lens.One haptic is broken in the gusset area and adhered to the optic by solution.The other haptic is broken in the gusset area along with that portion of the optic from being placed in the lens case incorrectly for return.The other broken haptic is adhered to the optic as well.Product history records were reviewed, and the documentation indicated the product met release criteria.The file indicates the use of unspecified associated products.It is unknown if qualified products were used.Broken haptic damage was observed.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.It is unknown if qualified products were used.Company foldable intraocular lens (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 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.File will be reopened if new information is received.The manufacturer internal reference number is: (b)(4).
