Manufacturer Narrative

The manufacturing and material records for the perceval plus heart valve, model # pvf-l, s/n # (b)(6), as they pertain to the reported event, were retrieved and reviewed by the manufacturer¿s quality engineering.The results confirmed that this valve has been manufactured and controlled in accordance with the specifications for a (model # pvf-l) perceval plus heart valve at the time of manufacture and release.Based on the information available, it is not possible to draw a definitive root cause for the reported event.However, per the document review performed, no manufacturing deficiencies were identified with the perceval valve involved in the event.Thrombocytopenia (tcp) in cardiac surgery is a very well-known phenomenon.The etiology is multi-factorial due to multiple factors including hemodilution, blood loss with volume repletion with platelet-poor fluids, platelet activation, consumption and destruction due to contact with foreign surfaces.Tcp following aortic valve replacement (avr) is also a common phenomenon.Patient factors and prolonged extracorporeal circulation all being recognized predictors of tcp following cardiac surgery.
