Additional Manufacturer Narrative

Additional information was provided in h.3., h.6.And h.11.The product was not returned.A photo was provided of a computer monitor showing a lens above the patient's eye.The lens of the lens appears to be cracked in two places near the optic edge.There appears to be a line/mark on the optic near the center of the lens.A device history record review and a non-conformance review of the reported lot number was conducted.No deviations were identified and all corresponding production release specifications defined in the device master record were met.Viscoelastic was not provided.It is unknown if a qualified product was used.Based on our observation of the attached photo, the lens appears cracked.The account indicated the product was not available to evaluate.It is difficult to make a final determination without evaluation of the physical sample.The root cause cannot be determined based on available information.It is unknown if a qualified viscoelastic was used.The ifu(instructions for use) instructs: during device preparation and implantation of the company iol (intraocular lens) with the company preloaded delivery system, an company qualified ophthalmic viscoelastic device (ovd) should be used.The use of an unqualified ovd may cause damage to the lens and potential complications during the device preparation and implantation steps.The ifu instructs: take at least 7 seconds to gently fold the iol by advancing the plunger forward in one smooth, continuous motion until the front edge of the optic is even with the ¿fill-to¿ line on the nozzle.Do not allow any portion of the lens to exit the nozzle tip.At this position the blue spring will contact the clear main body.It is important to not advance the plunger abruptly to fold the iol as improper folding and lens damage may occur.After the lens has been advanced to the ¿fill-to¿ line, the lens should be visually inspected to determine the position of the haptics.The plunger should be in contact with the trailing optic edge.No part of the lens should exit the nozzle prior to insertion through the incision.Once the lens is in position at the ¿fill-to¿ line, it should be implanted within 3 minutes.Proceeding with implantation of a misfolded haptic or a lens that appears to be ¿out of position¿ can result in a broken haptic or other negative outcome.The manufacturer internal reference number is: (b)(4).
