Additional Manufacturer Narrative

The product was returned for analysis and damage to the haptic was observed.Intra ocular lens (iol) was returned outside of the device.The device was received in a blister tray inside the product carton.The lock-out assembly has been removed.Viscoelastic is observed in the device.The plunger has been advanced to the depth guard.No damage observed.The lens was returned outside of the device.Solution is dried on the iol.One haptic is bent/deformed.The product investigation could not identify the root cause for the reported complaint "leading haptic looked weird" as the lens was returned outside of the device.Due to this, we are unable to confirm the lens and the plunger position for advancement and determine a root cause.Damage to haptics may occur: ¿ due to the use of a non-qualified viscoelastic.Material properties of non-qualified ophthalmic viscosurgical device (ovd)s may contribute to underfill, overfill, misfolding of the haptics, or other inconsistent folding outcomes.¿ if inadequate viscoelastic is placed in the device this will cause inadequate coverage of the lens fold path which may cause delivery issues and /or damage.¿ if the operating room temperature is too high (> 23 degree c / 73 degree f) lens folding consistency is negatively affected, the lens is more adherent and this may inhibit lens advancement.In addition, haptic strength (modulus) decreases as the temperature increases and is more likely to break under stress.Any of the above listed causes alone, or in combination, may create the reported event based on these investigation findings, we are unable to verify if the iol/device contributed to the event.Based on the results from the product history record, the products met release criteria.The manufacturer internal reference number is: (b)(4).
