Additional Manufacturer Narrative

|
An event of migration of the 4/6mm piccolo device was reported.A more comprehensive assessment could not be performed as the device was not returned for analysis.The device history record was reviewed to ensure that each manufacturing and inspection operation was performed and the product met all specifications.The cause of the reported event could not be conclusively determined.A capa was initiated for further investigation on the device migration, per internal procedures.Please note per the instruction for use, arten600042307 version a, sizing chart t2, the recommended size devices for patients >2kg have a maximum duct length of 8mm, and therefore the 9.8mm pda of the reported event falls outside recommended sizing.
