The cause of patient death was acute blood loss anemia due to a retroperitoneal bleed.Previous additional information received indi cates the retroperitoneal hematoma existed prior to the procedure and was distal to and not associated with the treated area.The site and study sponsor assessments both concluded the events were not related to the medtronic devices or the index procedure.As there is no report malfunction and the events were deemed not associated with the medtronic devices or the procedure, the event no longer meets the definition of a complaint.This event is no longer a reportable event.Mdr decision corrected to not reportable.No additional supplemental mdr's are required unless additional information received makes the event reportable.
