Additional Manufacturer Narrative

An event of device deformity was reported.The device was returned to abbott for investigation and met functional specifications when analyzed under non-physiological conditions.The device history record was reviewed to ensure that each manufacturing and inspection operation was performed, and the product met all defined manufacturing specifications.Per the instructions for use, the recommended size delivery system for use with a 9mm septal occluder is an 6f.A 7f sheath was used to deliver the device, which could have contributed to the deformed deployment noted, as use of a larger sheath may influence deformations of the device.There were no complaints associated with any other devices from the lot.There is no indication of a product quality issue with respect to labeling design or manufacturing of the device.
