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 did not indicate a lot-specific issue.Based on the available information, a cause for the reported single leaflet device attachment (slda) could not be determined.The reported patient effects of dyspnea and edema appear to have been cascading events of the reported slda.The reported patient effects of dyspnea and edema as listed in the mitraclip system instructions for use, are known possible complications associated with mitraclip procedures.There is no indication of a product quality issue with respect to manufacture, design or labeling.The additional device referenced is filed under a separate medwatch report number.
