It was reported that the doctor had approximately 8 cases with the platinum cartridge where he noted a transparent "filament" type of substance coming out of the cartridge that was attaching itself to the trailing haptic during the implantation/delivery process.Once they changed cartridge lot number, without making changes to the surgical technique, this did not occur with the rest of the cases.The substance that came out of the cartridge with the intraocular lens was very fine, clear, wrinkled membrane-like (similar to capsule or descemet's).The doctor was able to use irrigation/aspiration to remove the substance out of the eye in each case.No additional information was provided to abbott medical optics.Note: 8 mdr¿s are being submitted for the 8 reported cases.This is mdr 8 out of 8.
