Additional Manufacturer Narrative
Additional information was provided in d.4., d.9., h.3., h.6.And h.11.The lens was returned for evaluation.Solution is dried on the lens.One haptic is broken off in the gusset area and returned loose.Only half of the optic with the broken haptic was returned.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.The file indicates the use of a qualified cartridge.Information regarding the handpiece or viscoelastic was not provided.Broken haptic damage was observed.All lenses are 100 percent inspected for cosmetic attributes and the damage exhibited by the returned complaint sample would not have met company¿s release criteria.Based on our observation, it can be reasonably concluded that the damage is not manufacturing related.Due to the presence of surgical solution and the condition of the returned sample, the damage is most likely related to customer handling.It is unknown if qualified products were used.Company foldable intra ocular lens (iol)s are qualified for use with an company qualified delivery system (handpiece and cartridge) and ophthalmic viscosurgical device (ovd) combination.The instructions for use (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: using holding forceps, 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 the optic is a little more than half-way inside the cartridge.Use the holding forceps to gently push down on the lens, verifying that the lens is on the bottom surface of the cartridge.Using holding forceps, take the trailing haptic, and gently fold the haptic onto the anterior side of the optic.Slowly grip or push the optic edge to position the lens as far into the cartridge as the forceps will permit, while ensuring the lens remains on the bottom surface of the cartridge and the trailing haptic remains on the optic.Failure to follow these steps may cause the lens to advance incorrectly causing delivery issues and/or damage.The manufacturer internal reference number is: (b)(4).
Additional Manufacturer Narrative
Additional information was provided in b.5.The manufacturer internal reference number is: (b)(4)2025.

Additional information was received stating that the surgery was completed using another lens and there was no patient harm.
