The reported adverse event/incident was investigated in alignment with endologix operating procedures and work instructions.Where possible, it is endologix's practice to make at least three good-faith efforts to retrieve a reported adverse event/incident-related device, as well as medical records and medical imaging.An evaluation of the manufacturing record was completed.A review of the part number/lot number combination needed for device identification shows that the device was properly manufactured and released in accordance with the device master record.The review confirms that there were no manufacturing or processing non-conformities identified that would contribute to the reported adverse event/incident.The device was not returned to endologix for evaluation because it remains implanted.A clinical evaluation of the adverse event/incident was completed.An examination of medical records and/or medical imaging received by endologix shows that the type ib endoleak is unconfirmed.The additional endovascular procedure is confirmed.This is moderately consistent with the reported adverse event/incident.The procedure-related harms, device, user, procedure, or anatomy-relatedness of this complaint could not be determined with the medical records available for review.No contributing factors were identified.The final patient status was discharged on postoperative day two in stable condition following an endovascular repair.No additional investigation of this reported adverse event/incident is planned.However, should additional information relevant to the investigation outcome become available, a follow-up report will be submitted.Endologix will continue to monitor this and similar adverse events/incidents.Device iteration is afx2.
