Manufacturer Narrative

The manufacturing records for onxaap-21, sn (b)(6) were reviewed and it was confirmed that all records were controlled, available for review, and met all specifications per the device master record.All lots passed functional testing and met release specifications.An onxaap 25 with serial number (b)(6) was implanted on (b)(6) 2021 in a 52-year-old male with a past medical history of aortic stenosis, thoracic aortic aneurysm without rupture, hypertension, obesity, and obstructive sleep apnea.The subject was enrolled in the study and this event refers to study patient.On (b)(6) 2021 the patient was seen by his doctor for his obstructive sleep apnea and in the medical notes it states a history of ¿paroxysmal atrial fibrillation post operation¿one episode of irregularity, remains on bb (beta blockers).¿ the adverse event documentation completed by the surgeon lists (b)(6) 2021 as the start date as the event is described as ¿post operation¿ and no specific start date is given.The risk management and usability engineering file for the on-x ascending aortic prosthesis was reviewed.The instructions for use [ifu] for the aap valve lists cardiac arrhythmia as a potential adverse event for mechanical prosthetic valve recipients.There is no indication that the on-x valve contributed in any way to the reported episode and it is more likely a complication related to the surgical procedure itself rather than the valve.No new risks were identified during the course of the risk management departmental complaint investigation.All risks identified have been mitigated as far as possible and residual risk is acceptable.This report is being submitted as required by federal regulations and does not constitute an admission that the device caused or contributed to the reported event.Furthermore, this report reflects the event as alleged by the complainant and does not imply that the information reported to artivion- formerly cryolife/jotec is accurate or has been confirmed by artivion.References: on-x® ascending aortic prosthesis with the vascutek gelweave valsalvatm graft, instructions for use.
