Manufacturer Narrative

(b)(4).The results of this investigation concluded the valve cusps were previously excised and fibrous pannus ingrowth on the inflow surface of cusp 1.Special stains were negative for organisms, and no acute inflammation or significant calcifications were present.There was no evidence found to suggest the cause of the pannus formation was due to an intrinsic defect in the valve, as supported by review of the valve's device history record and the analysis performed.The cause of the pannus formation remains unknown.
