Event or Problem Description
A nurse reported that during an intraocular lens (iol) implant procedure, it was noted that the haptic part of the lens was damaged.Procedure completed same day, with new unspecified lens.There was no patient harm.Additional information has been requested.
Additional Manufacturer Narrative
The lens was returned positioned incorrectly in the lens case inside the lens carton.Solution was dried on the lens.The lens was pressed into the ridge of the lid of the lens case.The optic was torn, split, and cracked.One haptic was bent in the gusset area.The other haptic distal tip was broken.The broken portion was not 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.Associated products were not provided.It is unknown if qualified products were used.The reported haptic damage was observed.All lenses are 100% 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.The lens has been replaced into the lens case incorrectly for return shipment resulting in additional optic and haptic damage.Due to the presence of surgical solution and the condition of the returned sample, the damage is most likely related to customer handling.Associated products were not provided.It is unknown if qualified products were used.Company foldable iols are qualified for use with a 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).
