Event or Problem Description
|
|
It was learned through implant patient registry that a 33mm 6900ptfx mitral valve in mitral position was explanted after four (4) years, four (4) months due to unknown reason.The replacement valve is a 33mm 11400m mitris resilia mitral valve.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.
