Additional information has been provided in d.9., h.3., h.6., and h.11.The lens was returned taped inside a small plastic container.A small amount of solution was observed on the lens.One haptic was broken with a portion retained in the haptic insertion area.The haptic insertion area had a small crack.The lens was cleaned with klrp for further evaluation.The optic had two narrow, angled scratches on opposite sides of the posterior surface.Two short, narrow angled scratches were observed on the anterior surface.These scratches were similar in appearance to damage caused by an instrument used to grasp the lens.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.Associated products were not provided.It is unknown if qualified associated products were used.The company lens is only qualified for use with the company cartridge.The reported haptic damage was observed.Optic damage was also observed.All lenses are 100% inspected for cosmetic attributes and the damage exhibited by the returned complaint sample would not have met company release criteria.Based on the observation, it is 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 associated products were used.The company lens is only qualified for use with the company cartridge.The ifu (instructions for use): company foldable iol (intraocular lens) are qualified for use with a company qualified delivery system (handpiece and cartridge) and ophthalmic viscosurgical device (ovd) combination.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: 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.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 manufacturer internal reference number is: (b)(4).
