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.The investigation determined the reported cardiac tamponade appears to be a cascading effect of pericardial effusion.However, a cause for the reported pericardial effusion cannot be determined.Pericardial effusion and cardiac tamponade are listed in the instructions for use as known possible complications associated with the mitraclip procedures.The reported hospitalization and unexpected medical intervention were results of case specific circumstances.The reported poor image resolution was due to the heart rotation.There is no indication of a product issue with respect to manufacture, design or labeling.
