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.A review of lot-specific similar complaints did not indicate a lot-specific quality issue.Based on the available information, the reported single leaflet device attachment (slda) appears to be due to challenging patient anatomy.It should be noted that the mitraclip g4 system instructions for use (ifu) states: ¿the mitraclip¿ g4 system is indicated for the percutaneous reduction of significant symptomatic mitral regurgitation (mr).Since the mitraclip device was implanted on the tricuspid valve, this is considered as an off-label use of the device.However, the off-label use did not appear to contribute to the reported slda.The poor image resolution was due to challenging patient anatomy.The reported tricuspid regurgitation (tr) appears to be a cascading event of the slda.The reported unexpected medical intervention was the result of case-specific circumstances.There is no indication of a product issue with respect to manufacture, design, or labeling.H6.Health effect - clinical code 4451 removed.
