Additional Manufacturer Narrative

The impella device was returned for evaluation.Upon visual inspection, no abnormalities were found and the pump ran within specification.Therefore, the root cause of the low pump flow was mostly likely patient condition related, as the physician stated that it could have been, due to poor atrial and ventricular function.The failure mode will be monitored and trended.This report is being filed as part of a retrospective review of historical records.
