Additional Manufacturer Narrative
Investigation of the savvywire is not possible as the hospital discarded it after the procedure.According to the device history records, lot number osw-0025 was released following specification, no deviation or nonconformities were recorded.Based on the physician's description of events and the provided angiogram (see figure 1), opsens believes that the cause of the lost of capture incident is the savvywire moving during balloon expansion causing tip to lose contact with the ventricular wall, leading to lost of pacing capture.The left ventricle regained pressure causing a strong ectopic beat pushing on the balloon, which malpositioned the valve.The cause for the savvywire movement during rapid pacing was attributed to the force exerted by the balloon displacing the delivery system and the wire.However, opsens believes that, as indicated in the ifu, maintaining stable position of the tip while pacing could have avoided the incident.On how to successfully perform the pacing are available in the savvy wire instruction for use: - warning: inadequate electrode placement during rapid pacing and valve deployment may result in valve displacement and patient injury.Always test pacing capture prior to proceeding with intervention such as transcatheter valve deployment.- instructions: always ensure tip is stable while pacing, maintaining contact with the ventricular wall.The risks associated with the event are well documented and are disclosed in the savvywire instructions for use: "adverse events that may result from the use of this device include, but are not limited to: access site or vessels complications, additional surgical procedure, allergic reactions, amputation, aneurysm, angina, arrhythmia, bleeding, cardiac or vessel perforation/dissection, coronary obstruction, death, embolism, fibrillation, foreign body/wire fracture, heart block, hematoma, hypotension/hypertension, infection, kidney injury/failure, myocardial infarction, need for permanent pacemaker, pericardial effusion, pneumothorax, stroke or other neurologic event, spasm, tamponade, thrombus, valve dysfunction or complications, vasospasm, vessel occlusion, wire entrapment/entanglement, x-ray radiation exposure complications" opsens was notified on february 8th about this event, and quickly got in contact with the main investigators involved in the ongoing safe-tavi study.On february 10th, a notice was issued to all physicians involved in the study to inform them about the event and reiterate the guidance on maintaining pressure on the savvywire during balloon or valve deployments under rapid pacing.
 
Event or Problem Description
Event occurred in spain during the safe-tavi study: the savvywire in question was used as per safe-tavi protocol.At the step of tavi implantation (balloon expansion of an edwards sapien3), movement of the wire was noticed and left ventricular capture was lost.A strong heart beat then pushed the balloon of the valve, leading to valve embolization in the aorta.Note that all the previous steps were successful; successful pacing test and successful valvuloplasty with pacing.Hemodynamic values (aortic and ventricular pressures) and curves were correctly displayed by the opsens opm3 system.Tavi procedure was continued with the implantation of a second balloon-expandable valve, for which the savvywire was used for support and post-op hemodynamic recordings only.For the second valve implantation, pacing was performed by means of an independent, right ventricular electro-catheter.Opsens reached out to the physicians responsible for the operation who confirmed that there was no patient injury involved.
