Additional Manufacturer Narrative

Additional information was provided in h.3., h.6.And h.11.The product was not returned.Product history records were reviewed and documentation indicated the product met release criteria.The file indicates the use of a qualified cartridge and handpiece.Two viscoelastic were indicated; only one is qualified for the lens/cartridge combination used.It is unknown which viscoelastic was used in the cartridge.The reported "lens stuck" complaint could not be confirmed.The product was not returned for evaluation.Company foldable iols (intraocular lens) are qualified for use with a company qualified delivery system (handpiece and cartridge) and ophthalmic viscosurgical device (ovd) combination.The ifu (information 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.The ifu also instructs to completely fill the cartridge with 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 delivery issues and/or damage.Use holding forceps to 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 it is centered with or slightly past the outline etched into the top of the cartridge.Lenses with a 6.5 mm optic diameter may need to be pre-folded for easy entry into the back of the cartridge.Lens may be pre-folded by gently applying pressure to the edge of the lens while holding the central optic with forceps the trailing haptic will extend from the proximal end of the cartridge.Position the trailing haptic to the left of the haptic post as shown in the detailed view.This will allow the plunger to go past the haptic during the initial advancement of the plunger into the cartridge.Verify the lens is positioned on the bottom surface of the cartridge.The haptic should be maintained to the left of the post when the lens is loaded correctly.Accurate positioning of the lens will decrease the potential for optic and haptic damage.File will be reopened if new information is received or the complaint product is returned.The manufacturer internal reference number is: (b)(4).
