Additional Manufacturer Narrative

Based on the dhr review and root cause analysis, the probable cause could not be determined at this time.There were no documented issues and concerns with the manufacturing and inspection processes which may cause scratch on the lens.Physician report does not indicate that any exceptional event or condition would have caused the complaint issue.Per medical review: reportedly, haptic of a 3-pice silicone iol was torn off during insertion requiring intraoperative lens removal.Incision was enlarged and suture was placed.This lens was used as a piggyback lens and the surgery center didn`t have another one for replacement so, another lens was implanted two weeks later.No reported postoperative sequelae.Per dfu indications: "the silicone 3p iols are indicated for primary implantation for the visual correction of aphakia in persons 60 years of age or older in whom a cataractous lens has been removed by extracapsular cataract extraction" and therefore, there is no sufficient safety and effectiveness data to support use of this lens as a piggyback iol.(b)(4).
