Event or Problem Description

|
It was learned through implant patient registry that a 27mm 3000 aortic valve, was explanted after an implant duration of seven (7) years, eight (8) months due to unknown reason.The explanted valve was replaced with a 27mm 3300tfx 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.

Additional Manufacturer Narrative

H10: additional manufacturer narrative: updated sections: d4 (expiration date), g3, g6, h2, h4, h6 (investigation findings, and investigation conclusions).Due diligence attempts were made to gather additional information regarding a device failure mode, however additional information is not available at this time.Patient medical records were not provided by the hospital for review, or the medical records provided do not clarify the device failure mode.In this case, there is no evidence of a malfunction which could be related to a manufacturing non-conformance and/or one was not suspected or confirmed through investigation; no labeling non-conformance/deficiency; no use-related issue with a hazardous situation; no device-related infection; and no evidence of a product failure with regard to design, reliability, or use error.Per the instructions for use (ifu), reoperation/explant are known potential adverse events associated with bioprosthetic cardiac valves and annuloplasty rings.There is no evidence to suggest a manufacturing defect caused or contributed to the reported event.Based on the information available, a definitive root cause cannot be conclusively determined.
