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 the documentation indicated the product met release criteria.The account indicated the use of a qualified cartridge and handpiece with a non-qualified viscoelastic.The root cause for the reported complaint may be related to a failure to follow the instruction for use (ifu).The viscoelastic indicated is not qualified for the lens/company combination used.The 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: use holding forceps to grasp the lens by the optic edge and gently place the lens anterior side up into the back of the ophthalmic viscosurgical device (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.Due diligence has been performed in an attempt to obtain further information on this event.The account indicated the product was not available to evaluate.File will be reopened if new information is received.The manufacturer internal reference number is: (b)(4).
