Manufacturer Narrative
|
Product performance engineering reviewed the incident information; however, there was no reported device malfunction and the product was not returned as the scaffold remains in the anatomy.A review of the lot history record identified no manufacturing nonconformities issued to the reported lot that would have contributed to this event.It should be noted that the reported patient effects of angina and restenosis, as listed in the absorb gt1 instructions for use, are known patient effects that may be associated with the use of a coronary scaffold in native coronary arteries.Based on the information reviewed, a conclusive cause for the reported patient effects, and the relationship to the product, if any, cannot be determined and the subsequent treatment appears to be related to circumstances of the procedure.There is no indication of a product quality issue with respect to design, manufacture, or labeling of the device.
