Additional Manufacturer Narrative
|
|
Additional information was provided in h.3., h.6.And h.11.The product was not returned.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 account indicated the use of a qualified associated cartridge with a non-qualified viscoelastic.The handpiece information was not provided.It is unknown if a qualified product was used.The root cause for the reported complaint may be related to a failure to follow the instructions for use (ifu).The viscoelastic indicated is not qualified for the lens/monarch combination used.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: using holding forceps, grasp the lens by the optic edge and gently place the lens anterior side up into the back of the ophthalmic viscosurgical device (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 ifu instructs: follow the section regarding directions for use for information on the maximum allowed time for the intra ocular lens (iol) to stay in the folded condition.Failure to adhere to manufacturer¿s recommendations may result in iol damage.Ifu note: during lens loading and insertion, do not allow the iol to remain in a folded condition within the selected iol delivery system for more than 3 minutes prior to completing insertion into the capsular bag the manufacturer internal reference number is: (b)(4).
