Event or Problem Description
A healthcare professional had reported that during cataract surgery with intraocular lens (iol) implantation when inserting the lens in cartridge found that lens trailing haptic was torn.Lens did not inject into patient¿s eye.There was no patient contact.The procedure was completed on same day by using unspecified replacement iol.
Additional Manufacturer Narrative
Additional information was provided in d.9., h.3., h.6.And h.11.The lens was returned positioned incorrectly in the lens case.Solution was dried on the lens.Both haptics were bent in the gusset and distal area.One haptic was torn in the distal area still attached) and broken in the distal tip area (not returned).The other haptic had small nick/chips in the outer gusset area.The optic has scratches and scuff marks on the anterior and posterior sides of the optic in the shape of an instrument used to grasp the lens.Product history records were reviewed, and documentation indicated the product met release criteria.Qualified associated products were indicated.The reported 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, and the review of manufacturing records, 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.The instructions for use (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 ophthalmic viscosurgical devices (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.The manufacturer internal reference number is: (b)(4).
