Additional Manufacturer Narrative
H10: additional manufacturer narrative: the subject device is not available for evaluation, as it was discarded on-site.The investigation is still in progress; therefore, a conclusion has yet to be established.A supplemental report will be submitted accordingly upon investigation completion.Edwards will continue to review and monitor all reported events.Trends are monitored on a monthly basis and if action is required, appropriate investigation will be performed.
Event or Problem Description
It was learned through implant patient registry and investigation that a patient with a 19mm 2700tfx aortic valve, was explanted after an implant duration of five (5) years, eleven (11) months due to degeneration.The patient presented with symptoms of heart failure and shortness of breath.The explanted valve was replaced with a 23mm 11500a valve.The patient was stable post-procedure and was discharged on pod #8.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
Updated sections: d4 (expiration date), g3, g6, h2, h4, h6 (type of investigation, investigation findings, and investigation conclusions).Svd is a logical and expected consequence of the chemical, mechanical, and immunological processes associated with bhv implantation.The common endpoint of all these factors is calcification and degradation.Svd is an acquired condition, intrinsic to bioprosthetic valves, characterized by deterioration of the leaflets or supporting structures, leading to thickening, calcification, tearing, or disruption of the prosthetic valve materials.These changes result in valvular dysfunction manifesting as stenosis and/or regurgitation with a consequent drop in hemodynamic efficacy of the valve.Prior investigations and extensive literature review have shown that svd is predominantly related to patient factors and implant duration rather than to manufacturing issues.Events related to device design, manufacturing, or use error tend to manifest at an earlier implant duration.The instructions for use (ifu) have been reviewed, and no inadequacies have been identified with regard to warnings, contraindications, and the directions/conditions for the successful use of the device.The reported type of event is included in the ifu.A dhr review was performed, and no related manufacturing nonconformances were identified.There is no allegation 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.A definitive root cause cannot be conclusively determined; however, patient and/or procedural factors likely caused or contributed.
