Additional Manufacturer Narrative

Additional information was 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 pointing down into a drain hole in the lens case.The optic is pressed against and between two posts in the lens case.A small nick is observed to the outer edge of one of the haptics near the gusset area.The lens was cleaned with klrp for further evaluation.A fold inspection was conducted using folding tweezers.The lens folded and unfolded with no abnormalities observed.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 reported event could not be verified.The lens was foldable using folding tweezers and unfolded with no abnormalities observed.Associated products were not provided.It is unknown if qualified products were used.Company foldable iols (intra ocular lens) are qualified for use with a company qualified delivery system (handpiece and cartridge) and ophthalmic viscosurgical device (ovd) combination.The ifu (instructions for use) 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.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.File will be reopened if new information is received.The manufacturer internal reference number is: (b)(4).
