Additional Manufacturer Narrative
Additional information was provided in d.9.,h3., h6 and h11 the lens was returned posterior surface up in the lens case, positioned incorrectly.Dried viscoelastic was observed on both sides of the lens.One haptic was broken distal area, not returned.The second haptic tip has been exposed to heat, which appears to have melted the tip.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.A qualified cartridge and handpiece were indicated with a non-qualified viscoelastic.The root cause for the broken haptic may be related to a failure to follow the instructions for use (ifu).A non-qualified viscoelastic was indicated.In addition, the other haptic tip was damaged due to heat exposure.This many indicate a non-routine insertion technique was being used.The ifu instructs: company foldable iols 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).
