Manufacturer Narrative
|
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 reported patient effect of hematoma, hypersensitivity, weakness, renal failure and test result as listed in the mitraclip system instructions for use, are known possible complications associated with mitraclip procedures.The investigation was unable to determine a conclusive cause for the hematoma, renal failure and hypersensitivity.The reported weakness and test results appear to be cascading effects of the renal failure.There is no indication of a product issue with respect to manufacture, design, or labeling.

Event Description
|
This is filed to report the allergic reaction.It was reported that the initial mitraclip procedure was performed on (b)(6) 2019 to treat functional mitral regurgitation (mr) with an mr grade of 3-4.One clip was implanted, reducing mr to 1.On (b)(6) 2020, the patient acquired von willebrand syndrome, manifested as generalized purpura and epistaxis lasting > 1 day.Steroids were provided for treatment.On (b)(6) 2020, the patient presented with unexplained muscle weakness and renal impairment and was readmitted to the hospital from the rehabilitation hospital.Test results showed hypoalbuminemia, positive direct coombs, increased eosinophils, and increased immunoglobulin e (ige).Per the physician the possibility of allergy caused by the mitraclip device cannot be ruled out as a cause of eosinophilia or ige elevation.No additional information was provided.
