Manufacturer Narrative

H. 6. Review of manufacturing records for both the pulse generator and the bipolar lead revealed no anomalies that would adversely effect device performance.

 
Event Description

Mfr periodically compares device tracking info to the social security death index for the purpose of updating device tracking data. Mfr became aware of pt death during this process and evaluated available info against current procedures. The event did not meet mdr reporting criteria per manufacturer's current procedures. In an effort to obtain additional info regarding pt deaths for summary reporting request, certificate of death was requested, received and reviewed by mfr. Death certificate indicates that pt died at home of cardiac arrest. No autopsy was performed. It was reported that the pt experienced a >25% reduction in seizures with the vns therapy and that the pt was receiving therapy at the time of death. Treating neurologist indicated that the death was not related to the ncp system. There is no evidence that the ncp system caused or contributed to the reported event; however, based on the reported cause of death, although it is not believed that it is likely that the vns therapy caused or contributed to the patient's death, it cannot be definitively ruled out as a factor.
