Event Description
|
Edwards received information through its implant patient registry that a 25mm aortic valve was explanted after a duration of 18 days due to unknown reason.Another 25mm aortic valve was implanted in replacement.Edwards lifesciences maintains an implant patient registry.This registry is a patient tracking mechanism for serialized edwards implantable devices (bioprosthetic heart valves and annuloplasty rings), rather than a true post-market surveillance registry.Through the registry, edwards is notified when these devices are implanted.In addition, patient and/or device status may be reported to the registry via the implantation data cards.The information is received from various sources (e.G.Surgeon, hospital and patient family members) and is not received in the form of a conventional "customer complaint." the information reported may or may not be related to the edwards device.

Manufacturer Narrative

Updated h6 per new information received.Based on the information available, the complaint is unable to be confirmed, however the most likely cause of the reported bleeding is due to the aortic dissection caused by patient factors.An edwards defect has not been confirmed.The device history record (dhr) was not reviewed as the reported event does not allege a malfunction that could be related to a manufacturing deficiency and/or one was not confirmed through investigation.Edwards will continue to review and monitor all events.Trends are monitored on a monthly basis and if action is required, appropriate investigation will be performed.
