Event Description
This spontaneous case was reported by a lawyer and describes the occurrence of device breakage ('essure found fragmented') and device dislocation ('left essure did not find/ right essure micro-insert found in wrong position in fallopian tube') in a (b)(6) female patient who had essure inserted.The occurrence of additional non-serious events is detailed below.The patient's medical history included menarche, pregnancy and multiparous.Concomitant products included medroxyprogesterone acetate (depo provera) for contraception.In (b)(6) 2014, the patient had essure inserted.In 2017, the patient experienced device breakage (seriousness criterion medically significant), device dislocation (seriousness criterion medically significant), headache ("cephalea"), nausea ("nausea"), menorrhagia ("heavy and prolonged menstruation with clots"), pelvic pain ("pelvic pain"), back pain ("lumbar pain"), dysmenorrhoea ("menstrual pain"), diarrhoea ("intermittent diarrhea") and anxiety ("anxiety").On (b)(6) 2019, the patient was found to have uterine leiomyoma ("uterine myoma 1,3 x 1,2 cm").Essure treatment was not changed.At the time of the report, the device breakage, device dislocation, headache, nausea, menorrhagia, pelvic pain, back pain, dysmenorrhoea, diarrhoea, anxiety and uterine leiomyoma had not resolved.The reporter considered anxiety, back pain, device breakage, device dislocation, diarrhoea, dysmenorrhoea, headache, menorrhagia, nausea, pelvic pain and uterine leiomyoma to be related to essure.Diagnostic results (normal ranges are provided in parenthesis if available): ultrasound scan - on (b)(6) 2019: left essure did not find; on (b)(6) 2019: uterine myoma 1,3 x 1,2 cm.X-ray - on (b)(6) 2019: essure found in wrong position in fallopian tube and fragmented; left essure did not find.Based on the available information, a review of our complaint records and other relevant data will be conducted; any new and reportable information that becomes available from our investigation will be provided in a supplementary report.
