The patient identifier will not be reported by the physician.This injection procedure information was provided to cytophil, inc.As part of a retrospective data collection/review for a post-market clinical follow-up (pmcf) study.The center's investigation review board (irb) requires patient personal identification information not be shared.The center reported the patient was receiving adjuvant hormonal therapy at the time of the procedure and post-injection and has cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma of parotid.No additional therapy for the voice was noted as being performed and the patient's voice is still reported to have "roughness" and finds it "harder/more difficult to speak." cytophil has concluded its complaint investigation.Cytophil is unable to definitively determine the root cause of the reported incident.The device was reported as discarded and was therefore unavailable for return and no retain samples were evaluated.Product labeling and risk management contain appropriate information regarding insufficient correction and poor voice quality.A review of complaint records revealed seven (7) additional complaints where the patient reported similar outcomes in post-injection, no trending has been identified.The results of cytophil's review of the pertinent renú voice device manufacturing records confirm the devices were manufactured in accordance with specifications.Each patient case is unique for required volume to achieve correction.It cannot be determined if the renú injection procedure/implant caused the reported outcome, if it was an underlying condition, or other on-going therapy.The event was not reported to cytophil when it occurred.The physician is to be counseled about reporting complaints and adverse events to cytophil.The complaint is being closed and will be tracked and trended.
