Event or Problem Description
|
|
It was learned from implant patient registry that a model 2700tfx 29mm aortic valve was explanted and replaced with a 11060a 25mm valve after an implant duration of 7 years, 4 months due to unknown reasons.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.
