Additional Manufacturer Narrative

|
The reported adverse event/incident was investigated in alignment with endologix operating procedures and work instructions.Where possible, it is endologix practice to make at least three good faith efforts to retrieve a reported adverse event/incident-related device as well as medical records and medical imaging.An evaluation of the manufacturing record was completed.A review of the part number/lot number combination needed for device identification shows the device to have been properly manufactured and released in accordance with the device master record.The device was not returned to endologix for evaluation because it remains implanted.A clinical evaluation of the adverse event/incident was completed.An examination of medical records and/or medical imaging received by endologix shows the right limb occlusion is confirmed.This is consistent with the reported adverse event/incident.The event/incident is most likely user-related.The contributing factor for the right limb occlusion was likely the off-label placement of the suprarenal extension in the left iliac limb.Procedure-related harms of this complaint could not be determined with the medical records available for review.The final patient status was reported as being stable post the surgical procedure.No additional investigation of this reported adverse event/incident is planned.However, should additional information relevant to the investigation outcome become available, a follow-up report will be submitted.Endologix will continue to monitor this and similar adverse events/incidents.Device iteration is afx2.
