Additional information was provided in d.9., h.3., h.6.And h.11.The lens was returned wrapped in surgical gauzes in a plastic bag with the fully disassembled lens case.Solution was dried on the lens.One haptic was torn in the distal area (still attached).A device history record review and a non-conformance review of the reported lot number was conducted.The deviation review did not reveal any potential contributing factors to the reported complaint and all corresponding production release specifications defined in the device master record were met.A qualified cartridge and handpiece were indicated with a non-qualified viscoelastic.The root cause may be related to a failure to follow the instructions for use (ifu).A non-qualified viscoelastic was indicated.The ifu instructs: company foldable intraocular lens (iol)s are qualified for use with an company qualified delivery system (handpiece and cartridge) and ophthalmic viscosurgical device (ovd) combination.The ifu instructs that an 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 millimetre 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.The manufacturer internal reference number is: (b)(4).
