A physician reported that during an intraocular lens (iol) implant procedure the haptic was broken inside the company cartridge.There was no patient contact and no patient harm.
Additional Manufacturer Narrative
Additional information was provided in d.9., h.3., h.6.And h.11.The lens was returned positioned incorrectly in the lens case in the lens carton.Viscoelastic was dried on the lens.One haptic was bent in the gusset area.The other haptic was broken inside the haptic insertion area and not returned.The welded portion of the haptic was still intact inside the insertion area.The optic was broken at the edge and included the top portion of this haptic insertion area.A qualified cartridge was used with a non-qualified handpiece.Two viscoelastics were indicated.Only one is qualified for use with this lens when used with qualified associated products.A device history record review and a non-conformance based review of the lot was performed and did not reveal any potential contributing factors to the reported complaint.All corresponding production release specifications defined in the device master record were met.The reported broken haptic damage was observed.The root cause was most likely related to a failure to follow the ifu.A non qualified handpiece and non qualified viscoelastic were used.The ifu instructs: company foldable iols are qualified for use with a company qualified delivery system (handpiece and cartridge) and ophthalmic viscosurgical device (ovd) combination.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 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.Haptic manufacturing is a validated process with multiple inspections to verify the quality of the produced haptic material.These inspections include a verification of the dimensional accuracy, tensile strength, flexibility and cosmetic appearance.The inspections ensure that the material meets all required specifications before it is allocated for use.The manufacturer internal reference number is: (b)(4).
