Event Description
This spontaneous case was reported by a lawyer and describes the occurrence of pelvic pain ('pelvic pain') and device breakage ('essure remnants are found in the right cornual region after removal') in a female patient who had essure inserted for contraception.The occurrence of additional non-serious events is detailed below.On (b)(6) 2015, the patient had essure inserted.On an unknown date, the patient experienced pelvic pain (seriousness criteria medically significant and intervention required), device breakage (seriousness criteria hospitalization, medically significant and intervention required), menorrhagia ("excessive menstrual bleeding"), swelling ("swelling"), arthralgia ("joint pain"), neck pain ("pain in the neck"), back pain ("back pain"), pain in extremity ("right arm pain"), depressed mood ("low mood"), allergy to metals ("allergy to metals (nickel, cobalt, molybdenum,vanadium, aluminium, palladium, tin, iron)"), induration ("regular feeling of induration"), abdominal discomfort ("hypogastric discomfort"), micturition urgency ("urgent urination"), dysuria ("painful urination"), dyspareunia ("dyspareunia"), coital bleeding ("bleeding after sex"), pruritus ("itching of the lower limbs"), erythema ("erythematous"), skin exfoliation ("scaling lesions") and skin lesion ("microvesicular punctiform lesions / lesion on the lateral side of fingers in both hands").Salpingectomy and essure removal done on (b)(6) 2018.On (b)(6) 2019, during a ct scan, essure remnants were found in the right cornual region.A total laparoscopic hysterectomy, removing the uterus/ cervix was done (b)(6) 2019.Patient was discharged from hospital on (b)(6) 2019.At the time of the report, the pelvic pain, device breakage, menorrhagia, swelling, arthralgia, neck pain, back pain, pain in extremity, depressed mood, allergy to metals, induration, abdominal discomfort, micturition urgency, dysuria, dyspareunia, coital bleeding, pruritus, erythema and skin exfoliation outcome was unknown.The reporter considered abdominal discomfort, allergy to metals, arthralgia, back pain, coital bleeding, depressed mood, device breakage, dyspareunia, dysuria, erythema, induration, menorrhagia, micturition urgency, neck pain, pain in extremity, pelvic pain, pruritus, skin exfoliation, skin lesion and swelling to be related to essure.Diagnostic results (normal ranges are provided in parenthesis if available): computerised tomogram on (b)(6) 2019: essure remnants are found in the right cornual region.Based on the available information, a review of our complaint records and other relevant data will be conducted; any new and reportable information that becomes available from our investigation will be provided in a supplementary report.

This spontaneous case was originally reported by a lawyer on behalf of a consumer (subsequently medically confirmed) and describes the occurrence of device breakage ("essure remnants are found in the right cornual region after removal") and pelvic pain ("pelvic pain") in a female patient who had essure inserted for contraception.Additional non-serious events are detailed below.There was no information on the patient's medical history or concurrent conditions.On (b)(6) 2015, the patient had essure inserted.On (b)(6) 2018, 1349 days after essure insertion, she experienced complication of device removal ("complete essure removal had to be performed later") and post procedural discomfort ("abdominal discomfort after salpingectomy").On (b)(6) 2019 she experienced raynaud's phenomenon ("post-surgical raynaudu2019s").An unknown time later she experienced device breakage (seriousness criteria hospitalisation, medically important and intervention required), pelvic pain (seriousness criteria medically important and intervention required), heavy menstrual bleeding ("excessive menstrual bleeding"), intermenstrual bleeding ("bleeding/intense metrorrhagia"), allergy to metals ("allergy to metals (nickel, cobalt, molybdenum,vanadium, aluminium, palladium, tin, iron)"), hypersensitivity ("allergic reaction"), abdominal discomfort ("hypogastric discomfort"), swelling ("swelling"), arthralgia ("joint pain"), neck pain ("pain in the neck"), back pain ("back pain"), pain in extremity ("right arm pain"), depressed mood ("low mood"), mood swings ("mood swings"), headache ("excessive headaches"), induration ("regular feeling of induration"), micturition urgency ("urgent urination"), dysuria ("painful urination"), dyspareunia ("dyspareunia"), coital bleeding

remnants clearly observed in the right cornual region [skin test] on (b)(6) 2018: positive results to essure materials [x-ray] on (b)(6) 2018: no remains of device fragments found quality-safety evaluation of ptc: for essure: no defect could be confirmed by the manufacturer.All product batches have met the specifications regarding labeling, material, and process controls at time of release.Trend analyses of complaints are reviewed regularly, no signal was observed with regard to the reported complaint reason.The risk management file was reviewed and an update was not deemed required.A technical investigation of the complaint sample and batch record review could not be conducted, as no sample or batch number were available.The most recent follow-up information
