Fields updated: a2 (corrected), a3, b4, d9, f6, f7.The device involved in the reported event was returned to the manufacturer and it was received on 08 apr 2021.The valve was visually inspected according to the specifications required at the time of manufacture and release.No pre-existing defects were identified; the height of each leaflet was verified and resulted in compliance.The pericardium appeared slightly darker than normal and with presence of some organic residues, compatible with the implant of the device.The dimensional analysis confirmed the compliance of the device with the dimensional specifications required for a perceval valve model pvs23.Based on the performed analyses (visual and dimensional), the reported event cannot be explained by any factor intrinsic in the involved device.

Manufacturer Narrative
|
The manufacturing and material records for the perceval heart valve, model #icv1209, s/n # (b)(6), as they pertain to the reported event, were retrieved and reviewed by the manufacturer¿s quality engineering.The results confirmed that this valve satisfied all material, visual, and performance standards required for a (model #icv1209) perceval heart valve at the time of manufacture and release.The results and conclusions previously submitted remains unchanged.Based on the manufacturer's investigation, no problem was detected in the device involved to this event.As such, based on the performed analyses, the reported event cannot be explained by any factor intrinsic in the involved device.The hematoma formation detected postoperatively could have resulted from the procedure, and patient's specific factors may have also contributed to it.Ultimately, since no further information was received , a definitive root cause cannot be established at this time.The manufacturer will revisit the case should further information be provided in the future.
