The physician is not alleging a product malfunction contributed or caused to the patient adverse event.The device was discarded at the medical facility by the hospital staff and is unavailable for return to endogastric solutions (egs).The physician stated the perforation and subsequent pleural effusion may have occurred during the laparoscopic hiatal hernia repair procedure, the tif procedure, or a combination of traction forces.Based on the available information received by egs, the cause of the reported perforation could not be conclusively determined.It cannot be conclusively determined if the laparoscopic hiatal hernia repair procedure, pre-procedure egd, tif procedure, post-procedure egd, or a combination of events, contributed or caused the adverse event.
