Event or Problem Description
A physician reported that during the cataract with intraocular lens (iol) implantation surgery, the implant could not be released.Additional information has been requested but no information is available at the time of this report.
Additional Manufacturer Narrative
Additional information was provided in h.3., h.6.And h.11.The product was returned for analysis and the reported complaint was observed.The device was returned loose in a plastic bag.The lock-out assembly has been removed.Solution is observed in the device.The plunger has been fully advanced and is advanced under the intra ocular lens (iol).The iol is advanced into the nozzle entry and is crushed.We are unable to determine the root cause for the reported complaint "the implant couldn't be deployed".Plunger underride was observed.Plunger underride may occur: ¿ if the lens has become misaligned in the lens bay during the manufacturing process.¿ 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 the lens to advance incorrectly or become ¿stuck¿ in the device allowing the plunger to underride the lens.¿ 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.¿ if ovd has not been allowed to come to operating room temperature over a 20 minute timeframe prior to use.Colder temperatures can increase the ovd viscosity, creating greater resistance during iol delivery, causing potential unsuccessful delivery outcomes.Any of the above listed causes alone, or in combination, may create the reported event.Based on the results from the manufacturing batch record, the products met release criteria.The manufacturer internal reference number is: (b)(4).
