Additional Manufacturer Narrative
|
|
The reported event of a dislodged leaflet was confirmed.One leaflet was dislodged from the orifice but not returned with the valve.The device history record was reviewed to ensure that each manufacturing and inspection operation was performed and the product met all specifications.Information from the field indicated that the valve was in a closed position but resistance was felt during rotation.Based on the information received the cause of the reported incident could not be conclusively determined but is consistent with rotating the valve through resistance.There is no indication of a product quality issue with regards to manufacture, design, or labeling.
