Manufacturer Narrative
|
The reported adverse event/incident was investigated in alignment with endologix operating procedures and work instructions.Where possible, it is endologix practice to make at least three good faith efforts to retrieve a reported adverse event/incident related device as well as medical records and medical imaging.An evaluation of the manufacturing record was completed.A review of the part number/lot number combination needed for device identification shows the device to have been properly manufactured and released in accordance with the device master record.An evaluation of the device could not be completed.The device was not returned to endologix for evaluation because it remains implanted.A clinical evaluation of the adverse event/incident was completed.An examination of medical records and/or medical imaging received by endologix shows that the type ia endoleak, type ib endoleak from the left common iliac artery and the additional endovascular procedure were confirmed.This is consistent with the reported adverse event/incident.Additionally, the clinical assessment determined that there was evidence to reasonably suggest left iliac stent cranial migration of 21 mm occurred that was not included in the event as reported.Also the left external artery was occluded but distal to the left internal iliac artery and left iliac stent there was not device related.These were discovered during a review of the 35 month post index ct scan.Device, user or procedure for the type 1a endoleak could not be determined however the type 1b endoleak and migration were user related due to the left common iliac artery diameter being off- label at 7.2mm (per ifu should be 8-25mm).No procedure related harms were identified.The final patient status was discharged on the first post operative day home in stable condition.No additional investigation of this reported adverse event/incident is planned.However, should additional information relevant to the investigation outcome become available, a follow-up report will be submitted.Endologix will continue to monitor this and similar adverse events/incidents.Corrections: b5: describe event or problem - updated.G3: date received by manufacturer - updated.H6: investigation finding codes: remove code 3233.H6: investigation conclusion codes: remove code 11.
