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 the type ib endoleak, cranial migration of the right iliac limb, and additional endovascular procedure is confirmed.This is consistent with the reported adverse event/incident.Device, procedure or anatomy relatedness of this event could not be determined.However, it was reported that initial right iliac limb coverage was less than 10mm and this likely contributed to implant migration and type ib endoleak.The final patient status was discharged home on the first post operative day.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.B2: outcomes attributed to ae - updated; b5: describe event or problem - updated; g3: awareness date ¿ updated; h6: health effect - impact code ¿ remove code 4614; h6: investigation finding codes - remove code 3233; h6: investigation conclusion codes - remove code 11.
