© 2017 Novartis 12/17 US-ULS-17-E-2972a *Time and motion study (n=168) comparing UltraSert ® pre-loaded Delivery System vs. MONARCH ® . Primary endpoint: mean intraoperative lens delivery time (time from device touching eye to trailing haptic leaving the plunger) was not shorter for UltraSert ® (p=0.9833). Secondary endpoint: mean intraoperative surgical case time (device prep + lens delivery) was shorter for UltraSert ® (p<0.05). Exploratory evaluations: mean device prep time (time from opening package to IOL ready for implantation) and mean total surgical case time (device prep + lens delivery + lens positioning/unfolding) were less with UltraSert ® (p<0.05). Mean lens positioning/unfolding (time from lens delivery through time for IOL to unfold) showed no statistical difference (p>0.05). 1. Weston K, Nicholson R, Bunce C, Yang YF.
