The device was received by glaukos and the evaluation was completed.No non conformances were found during visual inspection or functional testing of the returned inserter.However, residue was noted on the inserter sleeve and in the inserter tines.The residue had the consistency of dried viscoelastic.Further inspection of all the returned materials could not locate the stent or the reported particulate.The device history records were reviewed for this manufacturing lot and there were no non-conformities found to be related to the reported event.The ifu adequately provides instructions for stent implantation, precautions, and warnings for the proper use and handling of the device.Based on the results of the investigation, the source of the reported particulate cannot be determined.
