Additional information has been provided in d.9., h.3., h.6., and h.11.The product was returned for analysis and damage was observed to the iol.Lens received in three segments: one outside of the lens case, in a sample container, the other two adhered to the inside of the lens case lid.Solution is dried on the iol.One haptic is broken and detached from the optic, there is a fiber on the other haptic.The optic is torn/split-cut dividing the optic in two.The edge of both segments of the optic is nicked/chipped-rejectable.The optic surface is scratched/marked-rejectable.We are unable to determine the root cause for the reported complaint "surgeon noted that lens had crack, in &out".The iol was returned in three segments, which is consistent with lens having been explanted.The product was subject to handling, and the reported damage was highlighted post implantation.We are unable to verify if the product contributed to the event.In addition to this, all iols are 100% cosmetically inspected as per approved manufacturing procedures and the observed lens damage would not meet our current release criteria.Based on the results from the product history record, the products met release criteria.The manufacturer internal reference number is: (b)(4).H.10 reflects all related report numbers associated with this product event that have been submitted at this time.
