Additional Manufacturer Narrative
Only the empty lens carton was returned with the packaging inserts inside.The lens case, lens, and peel pouch were not returned for evaluation.A product 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.Qualified associated products were indicated.The root cause for the reported complaint cannot be determined.Only the empty lens carton was returned.Qualified associated products were provided.The instruction for use (ifu) instructs to completely fill the cartridge with ophthalmic viscosurgical device (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: 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 ifu instructs: follow the section regarding directions for use for information on the maximum allowed time for the intraocular lens (iol) to stay in the folded condition.Failure to adhere to manufacturer¿s recommendations may result in iol damage.Ifu note: during lens loading and insertion, do not allow the company specific iol to remain in a folded condition within the selected iol delivery system for more than 3 minutes prior to completing insertion into the capsular bag.Use the company specific cartridge at operating room temperatures between 18° c (64° f) and 23° c (73° f).Temperature greater than 23° c (73° f).If the operating room temperature is too high (> 23°c / 73° f) lens folding consistency is negatively affected, the lens is more adherent, and this may inhibit lens advancement and cause damage.The manufacturer internal reference number is:(b)(4).
Event or Problem Description
A non-healthcare professional reported that during an intraocular lens (iol) implantation procedure, the trailing haptic was defective upon implantation into the patient¿s eye.Additional information was received stating that the torn haptic was cut out, removed and replaced with a new lens on the same day.
