Event Description
This case was initially received via regulatory authority (fda division director, reference number: mw5032720) on 13-jan-2014.The most recent information was received on 01-feb-2018.This spontaneous case was reported by a lawyer and describes the occurrence of pelvic pain ("constant severe pelvic pain / severe and persistent pain / constant severe pain in pelvic region radiating into lower back and into legs"), device expulsion ("uterus showed that the essure devices were extruding through the tubal ostia into the uterine cavity") and abdominal distension ("severe bloating") in a (b)(6) female patient who had essure inserted for female sterilisation.The occurrence of additional non-serious events is detailed below.Other product or product use issues identified: device monitoring procedure not performed "did not undergo essure confirmation test".The patient's past medical history included gravida ii, parity 1 ((b)(6) 2002), premature delivery, c-section in 2002, amniotic cavity infection, miscarriage (@ 9 weeks.) on (b)(6) 2010, d & c in (b)(6) 2010, asthma, depression, migraine, clotting disorder and bronchitis.Concurrent conditions included overweight, irregular periods, allergic reaction to antibiotics and allergic reaction to antibiotics.Family history included dvt (mother), stroke (dad) and cerebrovascular disorder.Concomitant products included norethisterone (micronor) for irregular periods as well as anesthetics, general (general anesthesia) and oral contraceptive nos from (b)(6) 2010.In 2010, the patient experienced weight increased ("weight gain").In (b)(6) 2010, the patient experienced pelvic pain (seriousness criteria hospitalization, medically significant and intervention required).On (b)(6)2010, the patient had essure inserted.On (b)(6) 2010, 6 days after insertion of essure, the patient experienced fatigue ("fatigue").On (b)(6) 2010, the patient experienced dysmenorrhoea ("dysmenorrhea").On (b)(6) 2010, the patient experienced dyspareunia ("dyspareunia").On an unknown date, the patient experienced device expulsion (seriousness criteria medically significant and intervention required), abdominal distension (seriousness criteria hospitalization and medically significant), ovarian cyst ("cysts on ovary") and migraine ("migraines").The patient was treated with surgery (underwent total hysterectomy, bilateral salpingectomy and right oophorectomy.) and surgery (underwent abdominal hysterectomy, bilateral salpingectomy and right oophorectomy.).Essure was removed on (b)(6) 2010.At the time of the report, the pelvic pain, dysmenorrhoea, dyspareunia, fatigue and weight increased had resolved and the device expulsion, abdominal distension, ovarian cyst and migraine outcome was unknown.The reporter considered abdominal distension, device expulsion, dysmenorrhoea, dyspareunia, fatigue, migraine, ovarian cyst, pelvic pain and weight increased to be related to essure.The reporter commented: patient did not claim that essure worsened a previously existing injury/condition.Mr- left side - 6 coils, right side - 10 coils.Diagnostic results (normal ranges are provided in parenthesis if available): body mass index was (b)(6).On (b)(6) 2010 : us transvaginal : findings: the uterus is in the midline with a calculated volume of 91 ml, normal for age and parity.The endometrial thickness is 4 mm.It appears seeker tori.The myometrium is normal.There are artifacts from the essure coils which are known to be in place.These appear to be in the appropriate positions.The right ovarian volume is 7.5 ml per the left is 4.4 ml.There are follicles identified in both ovaries.There is no free fluid.Impression: essure coils as noted.Otherwise essentially normal pelvic ultrasound for age, parity and cycle status.On (b)(6) 2010 : surgical pathology report : pathologic diagnosis: corpus uteri, cervix and right uterine adnexa; hysterectomy and right salpingooophorectomy:1.Cervix: chronic active cervicitis 2.Endometrium: disordered proliferative pattern 3.Myometrium: adenomyosis, focal, superficial leiomyoma, sub serosal, 0.5 cm 4.Uterine serosa: fibrous thickening 5.Right fallopian tube: intraluminal metallic device (essure) including tip extending into uterine cavity 6.Right ovary: no histopathologic abnormality.Gross description: a metallic device is present in the specimen from the right fallopian tube into the uterine cavity.This device measures 2.8 cm in length.Sections from this area from the uterine cavity into the fallopian tube are submitted labeled k, l, m, o and p.Sections from the fallopian tube with the metallic device are submitted labeled q and r.The right fallopian tube measures 3.5 cm in length x 0.5 cm in diameter and the attached ovary measures 2.7 x 2,4 x 1.5 cm.On sectioning the ovary reveals multiple cystic cavities ranging from 0.1 up to 0.5 cm in diameter filled with clear fluid, also present is a corpus luteum measuring 0.3 cm in diameter.Current weight : (b)(6).Approximate weight at the time of essure placement: (b)(6).¿concerning the injuries reported in this case, the following one/ones were described in patient¿s medical record : device expulsion ".Quality-safety evaluation of ptc: final assessment no lot number provided; therefore, no lot history record (lhr) review could be done.No device returned; therefore, no device investigation could be completed.No conclusions can be drawn.No capa investigation is required per criteria established in (b)(4), ¿processing essure cases in (b)(6).¿ no testing methods performed.No results available since no evaluation performed.Unable to confirm complaint; device not returned.Medical assessment: the medical events reported are not indicative for a quality defect per se.No batch number was reported.Without this information neither a technical batch investigation nor a batch cluster review in the gpv database for a more detailed statistical medical evaluation is possible.No complaint sample was provided for further technical investigation.At time of this medical evaluation the technical investigation concluded ¿unconfirmed quality defect¿.In summary, based on the available information there is no reason to suspect quality defect.Most recent follow-up information incorporated above includes: on 1-feb-2018: pfs and medical records received.Events- "dysmenorrhea, dyspareunia, fatigue, weight gain, did not undergo essure confirmation test", historical condition, reporter added from pfs.Event "uterus showed that the essure devices were extruding through the tubal ostia into the uterine cavity", historical and concomitant condition, family history, lab data added from medical record.Essure legal manufacture has changed from bayer healthcare, llc, milpitas to bayer pharma ag, berlin, and this report is being submitted as a follow up to a previous report submitted under the former legal manufacturer.Report type ¿initial¿ indicates here initial submission by the new legal manufacturer only.Incident no lot number or sample available for investigation.There is no evidence that a device-related defect or malfunction caused a death or serious injury.If additional information becomes available it will be provided on a supplemental report.
