Additional Manufacturer Narrative
The lens was returned wrapped in gauze.A very small amount of solutions were observed on the lens.One haptic was broken with a portion retained in the insertion area.The broken portion was not returned.The optic was cut from the edge to the center typical of a removal.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.A qualified cartridge and handpiece were indicated with a non-qualified viscoelastic.The root cause of the broken haptic may be related to a failure to follow the ifu (instructions for use).Very little solution was observed on the lens.A non-qualified viscoelastic was indicated.The ifu instructs: 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.The ifu instructs to completely fill the cartridge with ovd immediately prior to loading and delivery of the lens.Do not attempt to load the lens without adequate ovd in the device.Not adequately filling the device with viscoelastic will result in inadequate coverage of lens and the lens fold path with ovd, which may result in damage.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.The trailing haptic will extend from the proximal end of the cartridge.Position the trailing haptic to the left of the haptic post as shown in the detailed view.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.The manufacturer internal reference number is: (b)(4).
