This is filed to report recurrent tricuspid regurgitation, and tissue damage.It was reported through a research article identifying mitraclip devices that were implanted for off-label use that were related to the following outcomes: recurrent tricuspid regurgitation and tissue damage.Specific patient information is documented as unknown.Details are listed in the article, titled comparison of transcatheter tricuspid valver epair using the mitraclip ntr and xtr systems.¿ no additional information was provided.

The devices were not returned for analysis and a review of the lot history record review could not be performed as the part and lot information regarding the complaint device was not provided.The similar complaint review was not performed because there was no device malfunction reported and this complaint was based on an article review with no device/lot information provided.The reported off-label use of the device was associated with the procedure being performed on the tricuspid valve.It should be noted that the mitraclip instructions for use (ifu) states under the "intended use" section that "the mitraclip ntr/xtr system is intended for reconstruction of the insufficient mitral valve through tissue approximation." as it was reported that the mitraclip device was used on the tricuspid valve, this is considered off-label use of the device.However, it cannot be determined whether the ifu deviation contributed to the reported patient effects.Based on the information provided, the reported tissue damage appears to be related to procedural conditions associated.It is likely the reported tricuspid regurgitation/tr was either an outcome of tissue damage or otherwise related to disease progression/patient condition.The patient effects of tissue damage, and tr are listed in the instructions for use (ifu) as known possible complications associated with mitraclip procedures.There is no indication of a product issue with respect to manufacture, design or labeling.
