It was reported that during a surgical procedure, a non-preloaded monofocal intraocular lens (iol) became lodged in the cartridge during insertion into the patient¿s left eye.The lens was partially inserted and subsequently removed during the same procedure, resulting in an approximate 20-minute delay.The condition of the lens, haptics, and cartridge tip remains unknown.The cartridge model and lot number were not reported.It is unknown whether increased resistance was encountered or if additional force was required during lens delivery.The event was noted to be unrelated to use error.The procedure was completed using a backup iol of the same model and diopter along with a backup cartridge.The procedure required unplanned incision enlargement, suturing, and vitrectomy.Information regarding the presence of a capsular tear necessitating vitrectomy, as well as the reason for or number of sutures placed, is unavailable.The patient recovered fully without impact to daily activities.No medical attention or medication outside of the standard of care was required.It was reported that the device did not cause or contribute to the event, and the directions for use were followed.No additional information was provided.
