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.Blood and solution was dried on the lens.One haptic was bent in the distal area.The other haptic was broken in the distal tip area (not returned).The optic was pressed against the posts and down into the well area of the lens case.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.The file indicated the use of a qualified cartridge and handpiece with a non qualified viscoelastic.The reported broken haptic was observed.The root cause for the reported event may be related to a failure to follow the instructions for use (ifu).The file indicated the use of a viscoelastic that is not qualified for the lens/cartridge combination used.The ifu instructs that an company qualified delivery system and viscoelastic combination should be used.Company foldable iols are qualified for use with an company qualified delivery system (handpiece and cartridge) and ophthalmic viscosurgical device (ovd) combination.The use of an unqualified combination may cause damage to the lens and potential complications during the implantation process.The company product ifu has specific lens loading instructions for multipiece lenses.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 (diagram provided).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 as shown.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 product was used (b)(6) 2025.The product expired 10-aug-2025.The ifu instructs before use examine the label on the unopened outer box for model, power, proper configuration, and expiration date.The expiration date is clearly indicated on the outer box label.Any lens held after the expiration date should be returned to company laboratories, inc.The manufacturer internal reference number is: (b)(4).
