Event or Problem Description
|
|
Edwards lifesciences maintains an implant patient registry (ipr).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.It was reported via the implant patient registry that a valve model 11060a25 implanted in aortic position was explanted from a 50-year-old patient after an implant duration of ten (10) months and seven (7) days for unknown reason.A valve model 11060a23 was implanted in replacement.Concomitant coronary artery bypass was performed.As per the implant data card (idc) received, patient was in recovery after the procedure.
