Event or Problem Description
Through the implant patient registry, is was learned that a patient with a 27mm 8300ab aortic valve was explanted after an implant duration of three years, nine months due to unknown reasons.The explanted valve was replaced with a 29mm 11060a valve.The patient noted to be in recovery.No other details were provided.Edwards lifesciences maintains an implant patient registry.This registry is a patient tracking mechanism for serialized edwards implantable devices (bioprosthetic heart valves and annuloplasty rings), rather than a true post-market surveillance registry.Through the registry, edwards is notified when these devices are implanted.In addition, patient and/or device status may be reported to the registry via the implantation data cards.The information is received from various sources (e.G.Surgeon, hospital, and patient family members) and is not received in the form of a conventional 'customer complaint'.The information reported may or may not be related to the edwards device.
Additional Manufacturer Narrative
The device history record (dhr) review was completed and this device passed all manufacturing and sterilization inspections prior to release for distribution.There were no issues identified that would have impacted this event.Although the reported event was confirmed, the investigation could not conclusively determine the root cause.The root cause remains inconclusive.
