The device, used in treatment, was not returned for evaluation and the reported event could not be confirmed.The clinical/medical investigation concluded that, without the requested clinical information, death certificate or the devices, a thorough medical investigation could not be rendered.Based on the information provided, approximately eight-month post-implantation, this patient ¿s lymphedema on the left leg (where the devices were implanted), was treated but it did not resolve.According the complaint details, six years post-implantation, "this patient died from myelodysplastic syndrome, this patient's cause of death was not related to the implanted devices".Should any additional relevant clinical information be provided, this compliant would be re-assessed.A review of the manufacturing records did not reveal a manufacturing abnormality that could have caused or contributed to the reported incident.A complaint history review found related failures for the listed device; this failure mode will be monitored for future complaints for any necessary corrective actions.A review of the risk management file and instructions for use documents revealed this failure mode was previously identified.At this time, we have no reason to suspect that the product failed to meet any product specifications at the time of manufacture.Possible causes could include but are not limited to patient condition.Based on this investigation, the need for corrective action is not indicated.Without the return of the actual product involved, our investigation could not proceed.Should the device or additional information be received, the complaint will be reopened.No further investigation is warranted for this complaint; however, we will continue to monitor for future complaints and investigate as necessary.Additional information: d3.
