Manufacturer Narrative

Device evaluation: the cartridge was not returned at the manufacturing site; therefore product testing could not be performed.A video of the procedure was provided and it was evaluated.Something at the edge of the intraocular lens was observed.The customer's reported complaint was confirmed but it was not possible to determine what the object was or the source.During manufacturing, each cartridge is 100% inspected under 10x microscope; therefore it is very unlikely that a fiber particle the size shown in the video was present on the cartridge at the time of the sealing process.A product deficiency could not be identified.Manufacturing records review: the manufacturing records for the cartridge were reviewed.The product was manufactured and released according to specification.A search revealed that no additional complaints for this order number have been received.Labeling review: the directions for use (dfu) were reviewed.The directions for use (dfu) adequately provides instructions and precautions along with warnings for the proper use and handling of the device.As a result of the investigation there is no indication of a product quality deficiency.All pertinent information available to johnson and johnson surgical vision, inc.Has been submitted.
