Device available for evaluation, returned to manufacturer on 12/5/2017.Device evaluation: the complaint unit pcb00 was received in its original folding carton.The plunger was observed in its advanced position and locked.The cartridge was correctly engaged into the device.No assembly errors and/or defects related to the manufacturing process were observed.Visual inspection at 10x microscope magnification was performed.Lack of lubricant material was observed in the device.The lens was observed stuck at the cartridge tip and the reported white mark on lens could not be identified.Due to the condition in which the lens was received the reported issue could not be identified.The lens sample was sent for energy-dispersive x-ray spectroscopy (edx) analysis.Based on edx analysis and the subject matter expert (sme) evaluation, the marks are consistent with salts.Throughout the manufacturing process, there are various cleaning operations and 100% visual inspection utilizing microscope magnification steps that would have identified and discarded a lens with a similar particulate or substance, as required by our approved procedures.The manufacturing process is performed inside a regulated clean room class 6 manufacturing room that requires full gowning before entering the room.Based on the evaluation, it is not possible to confirm if the particle observed is related to manufacturing, as the reported lens was handled and prepared for surgical use.The customer's reported event could not be confirmed as the source of the contamination (salt) was not identified.Manufacturing records review: the manufacturing records for the product were reviewed.The product was manufactured and released according to specifications.A search revealed that no similar complaints for this order number have been received.Labeling review: the directions for use (dfu) were reviewed.The dfu provide the customer with proper usage instructions and guidelines.Conclusion: as a result of the investigation, there is no indication of a product quality deficiency.All pertinent information available to abbott medical optics has been submitted.
