It was reported that on (b)(6)2023, a 25mm amplatzer patent foramen ovale (pfo) occluder (lot: 8902531) was implanted into a pfo utilizing a 8f trevisio delivery system (lot: 8873827).Sizing was determined via anatomical features but exact measurements were not completed.After deployment the device then dislodged and embolized.The device was snared and removed from the patient.The retrieval was considered an emergency procedure.A replacement 35mm amplatzer pfo occluder (lot: 7952852) was then implanted successfully with a 9f trevisio delivery system (lot: 8807488).The patient remained hemodynamically stable throughout the procedure.The patient was reported to be stable and discharged.

Additional Manufacturer Narrative

|
An event of device embolization upon deployment requiring emergency retrieval was reported.Field indicated the implanter believed that mis-sizing was the cause of embolization/migration.A returned device assessment could not be performed as the device was not returned for analysis.The device history record was reviewed to ensure that each manufacturing and inspection operation was performed and the product met all specifications.There is no indication of a product quality issue with respect to labeling design or manufacturing of the device.Please note that per the instructions for use, "device size selection: transesophageal echocardiography (tee) or intracardiac echocardiography (ice) is required to measure the distance from the defect to the aortic root, and the distance from the defect to the superior vena cava orifice.Size the defect such that the radius of the right atrial disc will not exceed the lesser of the two measurements, except in the case of an atrial septal aneurysm, where consideration should be given to placing a larger occluder in an effort to cover the aneurysm.Refer to the device selection section.
