Manufacturer Narrative
|
The reported adverse event/incident was investigated in alignment with endologix operating procedures and work instructions.Where possible, it is endologix practice to make at least three good faith efforts to retrieve a reported adverse event/incident related device as well as medical records and medical imaging.An evaluation of the manufacturing record was completed.A review of the part number/lot number combination needed for device identification shows the device to have been properly manufactured and released in accordance with the device master record.A clinical evaluation of the adverse event/incident was completed.An examination of medical records and/or medical imaging received by endologix shows that the right limb occlusion was found to be severe stenosis and buckling of the proximal right limb.This is not consistent with the reported adverse event/incident.The most likely causation for the reported event is anatomy related due to the aortic angulation of 57 degrees.Procedure-related harms of this event could not be determined with the medical records available for review.The final patient status was reported to be doing well.No additional investigation of this reported adverse event/incident is planned.However, should additional information relevant to the investigation outcome become available, a follow-up report will be submitted.Endologix will continue to monitor this and similar adverse events/incidents.Corrections: b5: describe event or problem-updated.G4: date received by manufacturer-updated.H6: device code: remove code 1094.H6: result code: remove code 3233.H6: conclusion code: remove code 11.
