This is filed to report the clip movement post deployment.It was reported that this was a mitraclip procedure to treat mixed mitral regurgitation (mr) with a grade of 3-4.The first clip delivery system (cds) was advanced to the mitral valve; however, due to the low transseptal puncture, the placement of the xtr clip (80117u106) in a2/p2 was challenging.The xtr clip was implanted, reducing mr to 1.After deployment, clip mobility was noted.The physician wanted to implant an additional clip for stabilization, but there was not enough space to navigate an additional clip; therefore, no treatment was performed and the procedure was discontinued.Although there was clip movement, there was sufficient leaflet capture and mr remained at 1.There was no adverse patient effect and no clinically significant delay in the procedure.No additional information was provided.

(b)(4).The device was not returned for analysis.A review of the lot history record identified no manufacturing nonconformities issued to the reported.Additionally, a review of the complaint history identified no similar incidents reported from this lot.All available information was investigated and a definitive cause for the reported failure to adhere or bond (partial clip movement) in this incident could not be determined.The reported, physical resistance appears to be due to user technique/procedural circumstances as the transseptal puncture was low.There is no indication of a product quality issue with respect to manufacture, design or labeling.
