Additional Manufacturer Narrative
|
|
Additional information has been provided in h.3., h.6., and h.11.The product was not returned for analysis.The complainant indicates the use of non company viscoelastic which is not qualified for use with the associated iol (intraocular lens) model.The reported complaint was not observed as no sample was returned for analysis; however, based on the information provided by the customer, the most likely root cause is failure to follow ifu (instructions for use), as the reporter states the use of non-qualified viscoelastic.The use of an unqualified combination may cause damage to the iol and potential complications during the implantation process.Based on the results from the product history record, the products met release criteria.The manufacturer internal reference number is: (b)(4).
