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 the reported event and a review of the complaint history identified no similar incident reported from this lot.Based on all available information, the reported single leaflet device attachment (slda) was due to procedural conditions.The reported patient effect of recurrent mitral regurgitation (mr) was a cascading event of reported slda.Recurrent mr is listed in the instructions for use (ifu) as a known possible complication associated with mitraclip procedures.There is no indication of a product issue with respect to manufacture, design, or labeling.
