Additional Manufacturer Narrative

Additional information was provided in d.10., h.3., h.6., and h.11.The product was not returned.A batch 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 batch record were met.The account indicated the use of a qualified associated cartridge and handpiece with a non-qualified viscoelastic.The root cause for the reported complaint potentially be related to a failure to follow the ifu (instructions for use).The viscoelastic indicated is not qualified for the lens/monarch combination used.The ifu instructs that an company specific 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.Lenses with a 6.5 mm optic diameter may need to be pre-folded for easy entry into the back of the cartridge.Lens may be pre-folded by gently applying pressure to the edge of the lens while holding the central optic with forceps the trailing haptic will extend from the proximal end of the cartridge.Position the trailing haptic to the left of the haptic post.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 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).
