Event Description
|
This is filed to report the clip movement after deployment.It was reported that this was a mitraclip procedure to treat degenerative mitral regurgitation (mr) with a grade of 3.After deployment of the first clip, mr grade was 2-3.After deployment of the second clip, it was noted that the mr grade went back to baseline.A new jet was observed between the two clips.It was believed that the anterior mitral leaflet was not deep enough in the clip and had counter-movement to the first clip.The final mr grade was 3.The patient remained stable.There was no reported adverse patient effect or a clinically significant delay in the procedure.No additional information was provided.

Manufacturer Narrative

(b)(4).The device was not returned for analysis.A review of the lot history record identified 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 at this time.The reported patient effect of mitral regurgitation (mr), as listed in the mitraclip system instructions for use, is a known possible complication associated with mitraclip procedures.All available information was investigated and a definitive cause for the partial clip movement on the leaflet could not be determined.The reported patient effect of unchanged mr appears to be a result of procedural conditions and due to the clip movement on the leaflet.Based on the information reviewed, there is no indication of a product quality issue with respect to design, manufacturing or labeling of the device.
