The device was not returned for analysis.A review of the lot history record revealed no manufacturing nonconformities issued to the reported lot that would have contributed to this event.Additionally, a review of the complaint history identified no similar complaints reported from this lot.Based on available information, the reported incomplete coaptation (slda, single leaflet device attachment), associated with clip detachment from anterior leaflet, was due to poor visualization of the mitral valve from echo imaging as per the physician.The reported image resolution poor was associated with poor image quality.The reported improper or incorrect procedure or method was associated with the user proceeding with deployment without ensuring sufficient leaflet insertion.There is no indication of a product quality issue with respect to manufacture, design, or labeling.

It was reported that a mitraclip procedure was performed to treat functional mitral regurgitation (mr) with a grade of 3+ and thin leaflets.A mitraclip was implanted, reducing the mr to a grade of 2+.To further reduce the mr, a mitraclip xt was inserted and advanced to the mitral valve and grasping was performed.Difficulties visualizing the clip occurred.Leaflet coaptation and insertion during the procedure to ensure sufficient capture was not satisfactory in all views.The clip was implanted as usual.Following deployment, the second clip had detached from the anterior leaflet and remained attached to the posterior leaflet (single leaflet device attachment/slda).The procedure was completed with two clips implanted.The mr was at 2+.There was no clinically significant delay in the procedure.
