Manufacturer Narrative
|
An event of heart block was reported.A returned device assessment could not be performed as the device remains implanted and was not returned for analysis.The device history record was reviewed to ensure that each manufacturing and inspection operation was performed and the product met all specifications.Information from the field indicated that the patient had a past medical history of a right bundle branch block (rbbb).There was no calcification extending beneath the aortic annular plane in the interventricular septum.A pre-implantation balloon-aortic valvuloplasty (bav) was performed with a non-abbott device (pre-bav caused complete heart block).The patient went into complete heart block.The device was implanted with the final implant depth was 4mm (deeper than 3mm depth of implant of the device).The heart block persisted.A permanent pacemaker was implanted.Based on the information available, the cause of the reported event appears to be related to procedural conditions (pre-bav).There is no indication of a product quality issue with regards to manufacture, design, or labeling.
