Additional Manufacturer Narrative
Additional information was provided in h.3., h.6., and h.11.The product was not returned.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.The account indicated the use of a qualified associated cartridge with an unspecified company handpiece and a non-qualified viscoelastic.The root cause of the reported complaint may be related to a failure to follow the instructions for use (ifu).The viscoelastic indicated is not qualified for the lens/cartridge combination used.The ifu instructs that a 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 account indicated the use of an unspecified company handpiece.It is unknown if a qualified handpiece was used.The ifu instruct: company specific foldable iols are qualified for use with a company specific qualified delivery system (handpiece and cartridge) and ophthalmic viscosurgical device (ovd) combination.The ifu instructs that a 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.Using holding forceps, 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 the optic is a little more than half-way inside the cartridge.Use the holding forceps to gently push down on the lens, verifying that the lens is on the bottom surface of the cartridge.Using holding forceps, take the trailing haptic, and gently fold the haptic onto the anterior side of the optic.Slowly grip or push the optic edge to position the lens as far into the cartridge as the forceps will permit, while ensuring the lens remains on the bottom surface of the cartridge and the trailing haptic remains on the optic.Failure to follow these steps may cause the lens to advance incorrectly, causing delivery issues and/or damage.The manufacturer internal reference number is: (b)(4).
