Event or Problem Description
|
|
It was learned through implant patient registry that a patient with a 34mm 5200 mitral ring was explanted after an implant duration of 2 months, 24 days due to unknown reason.The explanted ring was replaced with a 30mm 5200 mitral ring.The implantation data card indicated that the device explant was due to deficiency of the original device.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.
