Manufacturer Narrative

Investigation results: based on extensive experiments, it was concluded that the most likely cause of the observed haptic breakage is a combination of moving the slider fast forward while applying upward force to the slider.This movement may cause the lens-downholder to deform, and if this happens an edge of the lens-downholder intended to guide the plunger applies unintended shear force on the trailing haptic.This unintended shear force may damage the haptic when it is pushed in its folded position, which can result into breakage of the trailing haptic.

Event Description

The surgeon removed a fragment of haptic from the iol implant from the anterior chamber.Patient had cataract surgery on (b)(6) 2017, no problems noted at the time but on review appointment apparent that the cornea was oedematous.Subsequently referred to dr.For opinion and apparent that there was a blue end of the haptic of the lens implant in the front chamber of the eye.There have been other occurrences of the back haptic tearing off while being injected, but was obviously damaged at the time but not apparent, and it has subsequently become completely detached and loose in the anterior chamber, damaging the endothelial cells and causing the cornea to become cloudy.Patient information- patient outcome remains unknown, however action taken by the healthcare facility to the care of the patient: removing the fragment to prevent further damage was the first step.The cornea has cleared somewhat since.Time will tell whether the cornea will clear fully, or if the patient will require an endothelial corneal transplant.
