Additional Manufacturer Narrative

|
The device with the lens was returned.The plunger lock and lens stop were removed.The plunger was oriented correctly.Viscoelastic was observed in the device.The plunger was advanced to mid nozzle and overrode the lens.The lens was partially advanced into the nozzle entry area.The trailing haptic was folded onto the anterior optic surface.The leading haptic was extended along the right side of the plunger.The nozzle was removed and cleaned for further evaluation.The lens was removed during cleaning.Top coat dye stain testing was conducted with acceptable results.Product history records were reviewed and the documentation indicated the product met release criteria.A qualified viscoelastic was indicated.The root cause cannot be determined for the reported complaint.A plunger override was observed.The plunger was advanced to mid nozzle.The lens was partially advanced into the nozzle entry area.Plunger override may occur due to rapid advancement faster than the ifu recommended rate, if the device is overfilled with ovd this can prevent the trailing haptic from being placed properly or move the lens out of position resulting in misfolding, or if the operating room temperature is too high greater than 23c or 73f lens folding consistency is negatively affected, the lens is more adherent and this may inhibit lens advancement.Any of the above listed causes alone or in combination may create the reported event.Top coat dye stain testing was conducted with acceptable results.File will be reopened if new information is received.The manufacturer internal reference number is: (b)(4).
