Additional Manufacturer Narrative
Additional information provided in d.9., h.3., h.6.And h.11.The lens was returned positioned incorrectly in the lens case.Solution was dried on the lens.One haptic was broken from the gusset area (returned).The other haptic was bent in the gusset and distal area, pressed against posts.The optic was torn and leaning against the posts and pressed down into the well area of the lens case.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 file indicated the use of a qualified cartridge and handpiece with a non-qualified viscoelastic.The reported broken haptic was observed.The root cause for the reported event may be related to a failure to follow the instructions for use (ifu).The file indicated the use of a viscoelastic that is not qualified for the lens/cartridge combination used.The ifu instructs: alcon foldable iols are qualified for use with an alcon qualified delivery system (handpiece and cartridge) and ophthalmic viscosurgical device (ovd) combination.The ifu instructs that an alcon 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: 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).
