Manufacturer Narrative

Product evaluation: the lens was returned.Solution and blood were dried on the lens.The optic is torn/cut into pieces, typical of an insertion and removal.The center of the optic has several split/cracked areas.The optic edges have broken areas observed on each of the two lens portions.A power and resolution test could not be conducted due to the lens returned in pieces.Product history records were reviewed and the documentation indicated the product met release criteria.The customer indicated the use of a qualified cartridge and handpiece.Cartridge product history records could not be reviewed because the reporting facility did not provide a lot number or any identification traceable to the manufacturing documentation.The viscoelastic was not provided.The product investigation could not identify a root cause for the complaint of "deviation of lens power, iol explanted".Power and resolution testing could not be conducted because of the optic damage.Lens damage was observed.Based on our observation it can be reasonably concluded that the damage is not manufacturing related.Due to the presence of surgical solution and the condition of the returned sample, the damage is most likely related to customer handling.The manufacturer internal reference number is: (b)(4).
