Event or Problem Description
|
|
A doctor reported that a lens shot out of an injector causing a capsule to rupture during an intraocular lens (iol) implant procedure.The surgery was completed after removing the iol without product replacement.In the surgeon's opinion, too much viscoelastic was applied to the iol and did not use the appropriate cartridge for the high powered lens that was used.The sample is not available because it was discarded.

Additional Manufacturer Narrative

|
Product evaluation: the complaint samples were not returned.Only the iol carton with the inserts was returned.The customer indicated the use of a non-qualified 28.0 diopter lens.The lens is only qualified for the cartridge for diopters 6.0 to 25.0.The customer indicated a handpiece, which is not qualified for cartridge use.The indicated viscoelastic is not qualified for lens/cartridge combinations.The root cause for the reported events appears to be related to a failure to follow the dfu.The 28.0 diopter lens is outside the qualified range of 6.0 to 25.0 for the cartridge.In addition, a non-qualified handpiece and viscoelastic were also indicated.The use of non-qualified combinations may result in delivery issues and/or damage.(b)(4).
