Event Description
This prospective pregnancy case was reported by a lawyer and describes the occurrence of pelvic infection ("infections"), device dislocation ("migration of one essure coil / migrated coils could not be located") and pregnancy with contraceptive device ("pregnancy") in a female patient who received essure for female sterilisation.The occurrence of additional non-serious events is detailed below.Other product or product use issues identified: device ineffective ("device ineffective").On (b)(6) 2010, the patient started essure.The patient's last menstrual period was on an unknown date and estimated date of delivery was on an unknown date.The patient received essure during the first trimester of pregnancy.On an unknown date, the patient experienced pelvic infection (serious criteria medically significant and clinically significant/intervention required), device dislocation (serious criterion medically significant), pregnancy with contraceptive device (serious criterion medically significant), pelvic pain ("severe pelvic pain") and abdominal pain ("abdominal pain").At the time of the report, the pelvic infection and pelvic pain had not resolved and the device dislocation, pregnancy with contraceptive device and abdominal pain outcome was unknown.The pregnancy outcome was not reported.The reporter considered pelvic infection, device dislocation, pregnancy with contraceptive device, pelvic pain and abdominal pain to be related to essure.Quality-safety evaluation of ptc: sample not available.Since we have no valid lot number for this case, we were unable to conduct a review of the manufacturing batch record.We are unable to confirm any quality defect or device malfunction at this time.Although, we were unable to confirm this complaint, we cannot exclude the possibility of having a technical issue involved in the complaint.There was no event reported which indicates a new technical failure mode for the device.Based on the provided information the defect type corresponds to the following meddra llt: device ineffective.As a product quality defect could not be confirmed but is considered plausible a relationship with the reported medical events or lack of efficacy cannot be totally excluded.However, the medical events and lack of efficacy are known, possible undesirable events and not indicative of a quality deficit per se.Since no batch number was reported, a batch investigation with respect to similar ae cases is not applicable.Most recent follow-up information incorporated above includes: on 14-dec-2016: quality safety evaluation of ptc.Company causality comment: this spontaneous case report refers to a female plaintiff who had essure (fallopian tube occlusion insert) inserted and experienced migration of one essure coil/migrated coils could not be located (device dislocation), leading to pregnancy (as per reporter) and infections (seen as pelvic infection).Pelvic infection, device dislocation, and pregnancy with contraceptive device are anticipated in the reference safety information for essure.Although essure system is sterile, it may, due to a bacterial contamination during insertion, become a vehicle for microbial transport in the upper genital tract, leading to an increased risk for pelvic infections after insertion procedure.Therefore, a causal relationship between the reported infections and essure inserts cannot be excluded.Considering that essure may move during therapy and that a dislocated essure may contribute to pregnancy, a causal relationship between these events and essure inserts cannot be excluded.This case is regarded as incident due to serious injury related to essure.A product quality defect could not be confirmed but is considered plausible.Further information has been requested.
 
Manufacturer Narrative
This prospective pregnancy case was reported by a lawyer and describes the occurrence of pelvic infection ("infections"), device dislocation ("migration of one essure coil / migrated coils could not be located / right coil migration/ malposition of essure device (location of device: left side migrating) / migration of essure device (location of device: left side migrating)"), uterine perforation ("perforation (uterus)"), fallopian tube perforation ("perforation (fallopian tube(s) / right coil migration/perforation of device"), pregnancy with contraceptive device ("pregnancy / pregnancy (with complications) - intrauterine pregnancy at term"), polyhydramnios ("pregnancy (with complications) - polyhydramnios") and premature rupture of membranes ("pregnancy (with complications) - premature rupture of membranes failed tubal") in a 42-year-old female patient (gravida 5, para 4) who had essure (batch no.766623) inserted for female sterilisation.The occurrence of additional non-serious events is detailed below.Other product or product use issues identified: device ineffective "device ineffective / failure to occlude (close) fallopian tube(s)" in 2010 and device monitoring procedure not performed "she did not undergo essure confirmation test.".The patient's past medical history included multi gravida, multiparous ((b)(6) 1995, (b)(6) 2000, (b)(6) 2010, (b)(6) 2012), pelvic adhesions (approximately (b)(6) 2010) on (b)(6) 2010, fibroids (approximately (b)(6) 2010) on (b)(6) 2010 and cesarean section (the patient at the time of surgery was noted to have extensive scaring and adhesions making the csection at that time very difficult.The bilateral fallopian tubes were not able to be adequately visualized at the time of csection.Due to this, the patient has presented today for an essure tubal occlusion.).Concomitant products included venlafaxine since 2015 for anxiety and depression, amlodipine besilate (amlodipine besylate) since 2015, hydralazine since 2015,

experienced bacterial vaginosis ("infection (bacterial vaginosis)") with vaginal discharge and vulvovaginal mycotic infection ("infection (vaginal yeast)").On (b)(6) 2010, the patient had essure inserted.On (b)(6) 2012, 1 year 10 months after insertion of essure, the patient experienced pregnancy with contraceptive device (seriousness criterion medically significant), polyhydramnios (seriousness criterion medically significant) and premature rupture of membranes (seriousness criterion medically significant).On an unknown date, the patient experienced pelvic infection (seriousness criteria medically significant and intervention required), device dislocation (seriousness criteria medically significant and intervention required), uterine perforation (seriousness criteria medically significant and intervention required) with pelvic pain, abdominal pain and abdominal pain lower, fallopian tube perforation (seriousness criteria medically significant and intervention required), dyspareunia ("dyspareunia, dyspareunia (painful sexual intercourse)"), menorrhagia ("abnormal bleeding (menorrhagia)"), vaginal haemorrhage ("abnormal bleeding (vaginal)"), migraine
