Manufacturer Narrative

The clinical complaint has been adequately investigated.The lot number has been verified and has been confirmed to be released by the company.It has been confirmed that no previous clinical complaints have been found for the particular lot number in question.The batch record, qc test reports, and training of staff were analysed and it has been determined that product is within required specifications, and manufactured according to appropriate procedures.This complaint is considered as off label use and the clinic have been informed by prollenium medical technologies that injections into unapproved areas such as the lips, lower eyelid, tear troughs and medial cheeks are to be avoided as stated in the revanesse¿ versatm+ directions for use (dfu) available at (b)(4).Prollenium medical technologies' medical director's response to this adverse event was provided to the clinic.The response from medical director is as follows: "the follow is a medical opinion based on the information provided in the complaint documented below: it is important to note that the history provided by the injector is lacking the following useful information.Pictures of the patients swollen lips in (b)(6), patients medication history ("daily meds"), topical products applied to lips prior to and after injection, history of previous allergies ( medications and environmental) and the ha type, dose and specific location of filler deposition in the patients lips ( the after photo suggests the filler was primarily injected into the vermillion border).The history provided suggests that the patient is the mother of the injector.Her lips were injected on (b)(6) 2021.The patient then received a covid vaccine (b)(6) 2021.Within 14 days of this event she developed intermittent swollen lips (no photos provided) and dry cracked lips.These symptoms clinical suggest a reaction to topical products, such as a contact dermatitis.Reactions and rashes are well documented with all covid vaccines, with (b)(6) possibly having the most skin reactions.The history does not suggest an allergic reaction to ha filler as the symptoms were delayed (4 months) and intermittent.A reaction to ha product should persist until the product is gone or removed.My clinical opinion is that this case does not represent an adverse event to ha filler.It could represent a localized adverse reaction to the covid vaccine.I trust this medical opinion is of value to all parties involved.".
