Event or Problem Description

|
It was reported that on (b)(6) 2022, the patient underwent implant of a 29mm masters series mitral valve.During the procedure, while the valve ring was being sutured, one of the leaflets fell off when the valve was tested with a silicone leaflet tester.The user removed the valve from the patient and exchanged it with a new 29mm masters series mitral valve.After the valve was removed, it was confirmed that the leaflets and rings were intact.All leaflets were retrieved from the patient.The event did cause a prolonged procedure as the patient required an additional hour on cardiopulmonary bypass and required admission to the intensive care unit.The patient remained stable throughout the procedure.The patient was reported to be in good condition.

Additional Manufacturer Narrative
|
|
An event of leaflet dislodgement was reported.A review of the device history record showed the device met specifications prior to leaving abbott manufacturing facilities.The cause of the reported event could not be conclusively determined but it is consistent with too much force being exerted on the valve during testing.There is no indication of a product quality issue with regards to manufacture, design, or labeling.
