Event Description
This spontaneous case was reported by a lawyer and describes the occurrence of device breakage ("fracturing of the implant") in a female patient who had essure (ess205) inserted.The occurrence of additional non-serious events is detailed below.On (b)(6) 2007, the patient had essure (ess205) inserted.On an unknown date, the patient experienced device breakage (seriousness criteria medically significant and intervention required), constipation ("constipation"), headache ("headaches") and pain ("pain").The patient was treated with surgery (essure removal).Essure (ess205) was removed on (b)(6) 2016.At the time of the report, the device breakage, constipation, headache and pain outcome was unknown.The reporter considered constipation, device breakage, headache and pain to be related to essure (ess205).Further company follow-up with the consumer is not possible.Incident: no lot number or sample available for investigation.There is no evidence that a device-related defect or malfunction caused a death or serious injury.If additional information becomes available it will be provided on a supplemental report.
