Additional Manufacturer Narrative
Additional information was provided in h.3., h.6.And h.11.The product was not returned.A batch record review and a nonconformance 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 medical device file were met.A nonqualified viscoelastic was indicated.The product was not returned.The root cause for the reported event may be related to a failure to follow the instructions for use (ifu).A nonqualified viscoelastic was indicated.The ifu instructs during device preparation and implantation of the company intraocular lens (iol) with the company preloaded delivery system, a company qualified ophthalmic viscoelastic device (ovd) should be used.The use of an unqualified ovd may cause damage to the lens and potential complications during the device preparation and implantation steps.The ifu instructs fully insert the ophthalmic viscosurgical device (ovd) cannula, perpendicular to the device, through the viscoelastic port, located in the lens stop portion of the device.Fill the device until ovd can be observed flowing to the fill to line on the nozzle tip.This will require approximately 0.2 milliliters (ml) of ovd.Only use a company ovd qualified for use with the company preloaded delivery system that has been allowed to come to the operating room temperature.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.The ifu instructs take at least 7 seconds to gently fold the iol by advancing the plunger forward in one smooth, continuous motion until the front edge of the optic is even with the fill to line on the nozzle.Do not allow any portion of the lens to exit the nozzle tip.At this position the blue spring will contact the clear main body.It is important to not advance the plunger abruptly to fold the iol as improper folding and lens damage may occur.The ifu instructs after the lens has been advanced to the nozzle line, the lens should be visually inspected to determine the position of the haptics.The plunger should be in contact with the trailing optic edge.After confirming the lens is properly positioned and the haptics are folded properly, proceed with lens implantation.Proceeding with implantation of a misfolded haptic or a lens that appears to be out of position can result in a broken haptic or other negative outcome, since the haptic may be trapped and stretched, and/or pinched and sheared by the moving plunger.The investigation has been completed based on current information.Receipt of additional relevant information or supporting materials will prompt a reevaluation of the complaint investigation.Complaints are reviewed and monitored for adverse trends on a monthly basis.No adverse trends have been observed associated with the reported product and event.No further action has been identified for this reported event.Quality assurance has reviewed this complaint and will continue to monitor data for evidence of adverse trending and take further action, as appropriate.No further action is warranted at this time.The manufacturer internal reference number is: (b)(4).
