Additional Manufacturer Narrative

An event of the valve migrating after implant was reported.It was indicated that the valve was released experienced a migration towards aorta.A returned device assessment could not be performed as the device was not returned for analysis.The device history record was reviewed to ensure that each manufacturing and inspection operation was performed, and the product met all specifications.Based on the available information, the cause of the reported valve migration could not be conclusively determined.It is possible patient or procedural condition contributed to the reported event.However, this cannot be confirmed.The reported unexpected medical intervention and surgical intervention were a result of case-specific circumstances as snaring of device and another valve was implanted (valve-in-valve).There is no indication of a product quality issue with respect to labeling design or manufacturing of the device.
