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 quality issue.Based on available information, the cause of the reported slda was unable to be determined.The reported recurrent mr is a cascading effect of the reported slda.The reported patient effect of mitral regurgitation, as listed in the mitraclip system instructions for use, is a known possible complication associated with mitraclip procedures.The reported serious injury/ illness/ impairment was a result of case-specific circumstances.There is no indication of a product quality issue with respect to manufacture, design, or labeling.
